Support NeoGAF

[adavids]

What's with all the empty seats? You'd think all of the games after the group stage would be sold out

Guessing Spainish supporters anticipated winning the group purchased the tickets and went home dissapointed with their team's showing.

 

[jamesinclair]

Couldn't they have changed the timings of the knockout stage games to take place a bit late? 1:00PM to start a match is a bit ridiculous in that weather.

European tv schedule

 

[t0rment]

is netherlands sleeping?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Damn so close!

 

[nOoblet16]

39º C on the pitch

You'd think that the grass would lower the ambient temperature.

 

[fuenf]

It's only 39c. Qatar will be much hotter

don't worry the executives on the stands will have enough money notes to shield themselves from the sun

 

[toweringinferno]

Close from the Mexicans

 

[TheOddOne]

Whoah.

 

[CassSept]

Ffs Mexico is pressing Netherlands pretty well. I'm not so sure about Dutch victory any more.

 

[MrJustinius]

LOL CLOSE

That water break must come soon. Netherlands needs it.

They have to hold out for another 12 mins for it.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Why don't they play these games in the evening? To help with the heat.

Is 90 degrees really too hot?

 

[CurlySaysX]

Whatever happened to that Dark skinned Netherlands player? The last time he played he got knocked out by Cahill. Is he O.K?

 

[GraveRobberX]

LOL CLOSE

That water break must come soon. Netherlands needs it.

Heard on ESPN it was at the 35" and 70" minute mark

 

[roytheone]

For all you Dutchies watching this online:

Had to switch to it after that stupid "Het maakt niet uit of passes niet aankomen." comment.

I just watch it on the Belgium channel. Much better commentary.

 

[barit]

Holy shit the counter playing tactic from netherlands seems kinda dangerous.

 

[Raven Prime]

The lions only get unleashed when the 2nd half begins.

 

[m0t0k1]

same tactic against chilli. Let them run wild strike back when they are tired in the second half.

My thoughts exactly.... 1:00PM in the amazonian heat in late June/ Early July... wtf! no one objected this?

 

[Tarkus]

And the thuggery starts

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Lol, took them long enough to call that foul on RVP. So blatant.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Wtf at that blatant foul lol

 

[Sub_Level]

Wow at that shirt pull.

 

[Suen]

Holy crap, what's wrong with the Dutch lol, Mexico's trying to ream their behinds already.

No answer from the Dutch so far.

They realized Eredivisie is shite and that they are done.

Robben Van Persie will save this team.

 

[silver.tongue]

I was born in Fortaleza (tho now I live in Brasilia)... Seriously, I don't envy these players right now. 1PM in Fortaleza is like playing on the top of a Volcano.

Even the crowd is suffering from the heat.

 

[Overdoziz]

I just watch it on the Belgium channel. Much better commentary.

Van Gelder is always enjoyable.


Edit: The fuck are you doing Cillessen.

 

[Animator]

nice foul

 

[Linkyn]

Holy fuck, this is not going to end well for Oranje.

 

[Garjon]

Fucking typical RvP, lucky not to get a card.

 

[Draconian]

Ref didn't wanna call that foul it looked like.

 

[TCRS]

stay in the fucking goal

 

[spekkeh]

Fuck cillessen get your shit together.

 

[Mesousa]

That's a penalty man.

 

[Horseress]

the fuck Cillessen?!

 

[raven777]

The Dutch keeper doesn't seem confident.

 

[Tworak]

holland playing shitty and dirty as fuck

 

[Dai101]

GO m00txico!!!!!!!!!

 

[v1lla21]

Fuuuck

 

[alterno69]

Kick to the head, no problem

 

[sestrugen]

Kick to the face, corner

 

[Suen]

Dat Barca legend Dos Santos.

 

[Courage]

That's a penalty.

 

[Santiako]

Pincer attack to the head hahah

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Dat kick sandwich.

 

[Thorakai]

Damn that could have been much worse

 

[JCizzle]

Need to make the Euros happy.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Is 90 degrees really too hot?

No, they are still playing. But later in the day would be better for the players I would think.

 

[mreddie]

Kick to the head

 

[CurlySaysX]

sheeeeeitt!!!
That kick to the head actually saved the guy from copping a knee to the head.

 

[fuenf]

Is 90 degrees really too hot?

if they are not careful the Netherlands might look like this by the end of the match:

Euro TV time.

In USA 1994, matches were played at noon. It was even hotter, but not as humid.
