Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3644596, member: 8536"] The second half wasn't encouraging for England. They had Netherlands on the ropes, they were rattled in the first half. They couldn’t get the ball out of their own end and England had a lot of possession in their middle third. Foden in particular was cooking. He almost scored the second for England after getting through the last line of defence from a Mainoo pass, but his shot was stopped on the goal line by Dumfries. But when both teams came out in the second half, they were a far different team. They were playing very conservative and as a result allowed Netherlands back in the game. Netherlands were warming into the game and had some decent chances but their execution wasn’t good enough. However, I think if Depay doesn’t go off injured, Netherlands find that second goal. He provides that extra attacking threat and while his shooting boots weren’t on this tournament, he gives the defence another attacking player to worry about which helps the likes of Gakpo and Simons. With Depay off, it was easier containing those two because let’s face it, Weghorst doesn’t really worry anyone. Spain won’t have that same problem. Rodri will have a field day with the England defence if they dish up what they have been this tournament so far. [/QUOTE]
