I'd prefer that the actual Matthijs de Ligt attain his full potential first! He's become a locked-in starter for Bayern, which is a great start.

Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson have both recovered quite well after blown Achilles. [If there's post-injury decline, it's hard to distinguish...

See this a lot with young midfielders. I don't think it's necessarily selfishness or a hero-ball mentality. Rather, when someone makes a long...

I had missed this Miedema injury news about 6-7 weeks ago:...

The Noa Lang play is fun to watch for all the comical slipping and sliding in a muddy field. First his Brugge teammate cutting in from the right...

There was a report to this effect in late October: http://www.football-oranje.com/el-ghazi-could-represent-morocco-at-the-world-cup/ He was...

Doekhi has scored three goals in three Bundesliga matches since Union Berlin's return from the winter break. Wow.

The one downside is that Brooks adds more competition for Justin Che to get playing time with Hoffenheim. Unless Che is more a fullback.

Andries Noppert benched by Heerenveen for today's Eredivisie game at Fortuna Sittard. Anyone have an inkling why? Is he on the transfer block?

For what it's worth ..... Karsdorp linked to Fulham. https://romapress.net/negotiations-on-going-for-rick-karsdorp-to-fulham/ Also reports of...

I feel your pain. Incompetent management with a bigger budget just means they waste more money and make bigger, more embarrassing mistakes. The...

At least PSV were smart enough to wait until after Gakpo's strong WC performance to strike their deal.

Maybe he had a hair appointment?.....

Bergwijn was really good in WC qualifying, but he's been so awful in this tournament. It's really baffling.

This is an outstanding point. I think your analysis is spot on. If the camera were directly over the goal line, the ball would appear "more in"...

Isn't Bild something of a tabloid?

I would certainly prefer Bergwijn over any of Janssen, Weghorst, or LdJ.

Yeah, Holland were a bit lucky on the second goal that the Qatari defender's attempted clearance of the cross skipped right into Depay's path. As...

Yeah, I was thinking of Greece in the 2004 Euros as the analogy. It's the only way Holland could win this WC tournament the way things are going....

Agreed. But hard to imagine he would publicly contradict LVG while the WC tournament is in progress. He is not a pundit yet.

Agreed in general. Although I wonder if De Roon can hang on for another couple of years as a late game substitute specializing in closing out...

This kind of thing blows my mind. What soccer player would walk away from the World Cup?

While Netherlands vs. Senegal was not literally Pot 1 vs Pot 2, they were widely viewed starting the tournament as the top two teams in the group.
