Match #19 - Netherlands v. Ecuador

Both teams will be happy with draw, although Ecuador more.

 

Nah, we have to win this.
Otherwise 1st place might come down to GD

 

You don't have to. You would like to.

 

You think that Ecuador would outscore Sénégal more than Netherlands would outscore Qatar?
Unlikely....
A draw would give Netherlands the top of the group.

 

You never know in this crazy game

 

i don't like ecuador in blue. ecuador is yellow. always

 

yeesh. thunderstruck

 

What a Rocket !!! 1-0 NED

 

damn that's cold blooded. Literally the first ball they shoot at goal and they smash that thing in. Thats the kind of finishing we all dream of

 

Which is BS

In case of a draw sure. But the first tie breaker should be direct game

One realistically can qualify or win the group because they met a tired/unmotivated team while the other team had to play at the beginning when everyone gave 100%

 

That is UEFA's first tiebreaker - head-to-head result(s) - I prefer goal difference as the first tiebreaker like FIFA use.

 

Last time the Netherlands lost to South American team at the WC was in 1994 vs Brazil. After that defeat they have 5 wins and 3 draws.

 

damn what happened to sneijder? looking like a bald fat jericho now

 

oh lord,why

he's on maradona's diet

 

1:0 was the most likely outcome. And remains so.

 

disallowed goal

 

That goal was valid, the goalkeeper's vision was not blocked by the opponent standing in an offside position.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! That goal should have counted!!!!

 

Lmao this and ronaldo's pk... questionable... brb ref forum

 

The fix is in!

 

Yes it was blocked him. Not a valid goal.

 

Ecuador got screwed, that should not have been called off side.
