Internationals June (Euro Qualifiers + Nations League Finals)

The more I’m liking Bruno probably means the less likely he signs.

This second half is more exciting.
 
That's what it was designed to be, a replacement for all the pointless friendlies and it's been a sucess. Kudos to UEFA.

Still nowhere near the Euros or World Cup but it was not designed to be so that's not a knock in anyway.

You don’t see celebrations like that in the Charity Shield!
 
Netherlands losing yet another tournament because of their shit keeper. To think that some people want him instead of DDG.
 
How come Bernardo Silva didn't break through at Benfica, instead of Monaco?
 
Portugal deservedly ahead, Holland look crap.

Northern Ireland might pip them for 2nd spot in the qualifiers. Holland failing to qualify for Euro 2020 wouldn't be a shock to me.
 
is it just my bad memory or Portugal always seem to beat the Dutch in big games?
 
How come Bernardo Silva didn't break through at Benfica, instead of Monaco?
He was very promising for B team and everyone had great exoectations on him. The coach of the main team didn't like young players and would put him as a leftback (IIRC as a substitute). Monaco asked for the loan and the rest os history.
 
Ronaldo's game has evolved a lot. He is now more of a team player and it's good to see him use his intelligence more in sync with his team mates. What a superb footballer he is. And from a physical point of view, it does not look like he'll be retiring soon.
 
The Portuguese are in total control of this match. Van de Beek coming in is helping the Dutch move the ball forward, but other than that, they're struggling to create chances. The Dutch are in dire need of a playmaker to create chances for them. Neither Blind nor Dumfries have created enough chances for the Dutch, and the front 3 have struggled to hold onto the ball to really be a threat.
 
Ronaldo. Griezmann is usually good in big tournaments aswell. Hazard etc.

Sterling isn't far from that level but just seems he's restricted in an England shirt for a few reasons.

You say etc, but there's really not that many, hence why I asked you to name them.

Fact is, very few carry their club form to the international stage. Not because their not 'elite' level, but other factors, such as different players, system, etc.
