Depends if he keeps playing Memphis.

Also NL is unlucky with injuries. Frenkie de Jong and Koopmeiners would boost the mid so much and bring the play to life. Also Hartman is a miss

Memphis had a bad game against France but was fine against Poland and one of the best players vs Austria, the Dutch media narrative is already set in its way regarding Memphis and won't stop until he's played his last game for the NT. If he can catch his stride during the tournament and clicks with the players around him, he will be even more valuable. People forget a lot of new players have been fitted in and the line ups are changing from game to game, which is not easy for a creative player like Memphis.

The injuries are the biggest problem indeed. Veerman is not capable of replacing Frenkie and even de Roon is missed for the on-field tactical coaching.

Could be a succesful tournament still and I'd love to see how the Dutch media will handle the legacy of this generation of the Dutch NT if they reach at least the semi finals.

Rafa or theo tonight?

France only conceded 1 goal so far and Portugal is forcing to play for Ronaldo to score rather than the win.
Bro broke out in tears vs Slovenia, he's gonna get zero breathers from Upamecano and Saliba. Plus Mbappe speed behind 41 yo Pepe? It's over.

But France been pretty lackluster themselves this time around, probably losing in the semi's vs the winner of Spain/Germany.

NT football nowdays is a matter of actitude, i was watching Argentina and Ecuador, both team equals. The final will be Argentina x Uruguai imo, but it could be any other.

At Euro, the most proheminent team still is Spain, i think they'll win for merit, focus and a decent football game. Apart from Croatia (from first shelf football), which is in chambles.. everyone is very similar.

I think the deserved final for the tournament will be played today, Spain vs Germany.

Yeah? How does it work? Has there been aimilar suspensions before?
I guess I was wrong

he has probation for a year for conduct. If he does anything else that violates the code of conduct, he will get the 1 match ban

the 30k fine is imposed immediately, if I remember correctly
