I’ve come to the conclusion that watching H^2 ref takes away one year of your lifespan each game.
Terrible match, but the result is all that matters.
Without Frenkie and Gakpo and (less so) depay, de ligt, lang… was hard to expect much more
Streep eronder en door
Oranje inwisselen voor groen, ik ben weer een Springboks fan.
That ref missing the first half pen and pen in the last minute of the game is outrageous.
Missing? He literally looked at the video…
Must’ve been blinded by all the laser pointers.
Getting 4 penalties would’ve been really funny and not entirely undeserved.
Fucking cheating netherlands. Good thing messi humiliated you at the world cup
Go cry in Play-Offs
I think he’s Greek you guys (μαλάκα)
😂
😂
Fuck off with your laser pens
Go cry in Play-Offs
Cry some more my child.

Im not crying you will get destroyed at the euros as always. Loser nation

Because the “country” that shines laser pens in the faces of players isn’t a loser nation? Go and eat some tzatziki dumbass.
Soft ass players. U need to learn to play under pressure

Some of your people came here in 2018 and the rest is history. Such a shame we have become much more hospitable nowadays.
It’s okay if you cry a little more. You’re emotions are understandable.
Lol, enjoy your permaban
You’re crying so hard you’ll be causing a flood for us, please stop

Go buy some more laser pens to compensate for all the pens your team gives away.
meanwhile greece hasnt qualified for nearly 10 years

So have The Netherlands and everyone else
Greece’s was much better tho
Beating the hosts to win it is a shared experience and Greece did it twice lol
Though I actually thought your victory was nice, it wasn’t better. You played horrificly defensive football and if xG would’ve been a thing back then, everyone would’ve understood just how lucky you guys got. Literally every single win was outperforming the xG by a spectacular margin.
Impressive, sure. Better? nah…
Although I disagree with the guy you are replying to, I’ll let you know that the xG were not how you imagine them. There was a greek sport “journalist” who went through the matches and came to the conclusion that the xG goals would be consistent with the scoring.
I’m linking the video and, although it is in greek, you can go to the photos inside the video which show where the shots were taken from in some of the matches.

We beat an insane portugal superteam at home twice, beat the spanish superteam, beat an insane czech republic team, destroyed peak france superteam and humiliated the portuguese in the final. Will never be repeated

good, shove those laser pens up your asses.
Lasers aside, and as much as I’d want our Greek brothers to qualify, we really don’t need Netherlands as an opponent in our eventual play-off bracket.
And if I understand correctly, they would indeed be one of the semi-finalists in our play-off round.

Greek FA should be hit with an absurd fine to be honest, this shit is getting ridiculous at this point. Ref could also just stop games and if it continues award a 3-0 win.
It is a known issue but they absolutely refuse to do anything about it. It influences games, is unfair and potentially dangerous.

The laser pens were awful. I preferred the water bottles being thrown after Van Djik’s shitty celebration.
I loved his celebration. Fuck those brain damaged laser pen fanatics.
We are winning the whole thing!!
Weghorst can piss off.
Also this match was fucking atrocious, just godawful.
Still don’t understand why he ever starts. He’s only ever good as a sub at the end. He adds absolutely fuck all in the first 60 minutes of a match.
Really beats me
Maybe Koeman likes the way he sings the anthem or something
Signed by a big club gets you an automatic free ticket, and one heroic free kick in his entire career is enough to stay on-board. Despite having five goals this entire year.
Also why on earth did the man who never scores take the penalty?
Still our striker, don’t really mind that one honestly.
58% conversion rate on penalties apparently, I very much mind that one.
For sure, but it’s not like Vam Dijks rare is better lately.
Can’t find any stats for Van Dijk but the average is about 75% conversion. Surely we have players who aren’t far below average?
Really only one I can find from Virgil was his miss against Argentina
Punten zijn punten
Prime Hernandez performance
Someone should tell the Greek you don’t get points for fouls in your own box
How was it not a third pen at the end?
Hernández Hernández is how, trash ref
I really thought that that last review would’ve been a penalty damn
Definitely a pen, not sure what the ref was smoking.
Insane that it wasn’t a pen tbh, feels like he didn’t want to give another one
Ref was power tripping at the end
Typical spanish ref against Dutch national team

He also gave red to the Greek coach for saying “what are you doing this time”

I would say my opinion but I don’t want another Perma ban
I’m surprised you didn’t already get a ban mr Putin
Netherlands hive mind downvoting me for no reason lmao
You might have missed the definition of perma ban.
Also Netherlands 100% deserved to win anyway.
I was Perma banned but appealed like 20+ times and got unbanned. I know I want to say bad things about our defense

how was that not a penalty at the end, hernandez is such a useless ref
Feel like the 2 pens that the ref didn’t give were bigger pens than the one he did give
He gave two, but yes, both of those were smaller fouls than the two he didn’t give
Yeah I’m not complaining, just strange all in all
Hey you your story in redscare was totally fake… I was banned for even questioning it too… It really was a piece of a rocket that started a FIRE in a parking lot… All the buildings are intact, just light fire damage and some destroyed cars in a parking lot…
shit was totally fabricated… no crater… just a small fire… I guess a few people might have died in the car parking lot, but it was a proven rocket fall from PIJ
