Nederlands v Ukrayina

[3 Colours Red]

Nigel de Jong's just said that Maarten Stekelenburg was 40. I thought "that can't be right" and I checked. It's not. Born September 1982. A month after me.

For the first time at a Euros or World Cup, I'm older than the oldest player.

[Flynnie]

Glad that NOS is hiding Frank de Boer’s incompetence by having his brother as pundit.

[3 Colours Red]

I'm actually relieved to hear Clive Tyldesley on commentary. Can ITV please throw both Matterface and Speight in the bin?

[longeared]

ITV at their finest there, cutting to an ad break midway through the Ukraine anthem. And they do it again!

[scratchmonkey]

Easily the best combination of kits so far in this one, the baby blues on Ukraine are particularly lush live.

[Logan Mountstuart]

Ukraine could murder this lot if they decide to attack. I hope they don't play in a "happy with second place so à draw would be nice" kind of way, like Turkey did.

[3 Colours Red]

I'll be disappointed if Ally McCoist doesn't eulogise about one of Amsterdam's landmarks in the first ten minutes.

Early returns indicate that Sheva thinks they can take all three points here, end-to-end stuff.

[Ray de Galles]

This game has started like the fucking clappers.

[Satchmo Distel]

So fucking open!

[Satchmo Distel]

Netherlands seem to be playing the Ajax way, attacking with clusters of players.

[jwdd27]

10 minutes in, game of the tournament so far.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I'll be disappointed if Ally McCoist doesn't eulogise about one of Amsterdam's landmarks in the first ten minutes.

The Anne Frank House?

[Ray de Galles]

Denzel Dumfries is the player name of the tournament so far. Very pleased he's a Sparta Rotterdam product too.

[steveeeeeeeee]

Denzel Dumfries can be another inclusion for the wandering-Celts XI.

[Satchmo Distel]

Malinovsky is very functional.

[3 Colours Red]

I wouldn't want to be clattered by Wout Weghorst either.

[steveeeeeeeee]

This is fantastic, deserves a goal.

[RobW]

Entertaining game and solid McCoist/Tyldesley partnership on commentary. Just think Ukraine need to try their luck when they get 25 yards out rather than take an extra touch

[RobW]

Ukraine keeper has pulled off another fine save and that's a dreadful header by Dumfries, like one of mine.

[3 Colours Red]

Bushchan is "on a madness" as I believe the kids say.

[jwdd27]

Such a good, open game that I've put a quid on it finishing 0-0. Ukraine are good though.

[steveeeeeeeee]

I think I've worked out the reason this is so good is because Holland are playing with defenders who are forbidden from tackling and if you run at them, you just run past them.

Bollocks he probably should have done better with that. Good finish.

On second viewing, not sure what else he could do.

[Satchmo Distel]

Get in. Deserved.

The keeper needs to hold it, though. The second goal today where a keeper was culpable (but so was his defence, to be fair).
