    Game 21: Swizerland v Netherlands

    Bright start by the Swiss. Decent fingertip save by the Dutch keeper to keep the scores level.

    Penalty for Netherlands ruled out by VAR.

        which was fair. I can see how the referee thought it was a penalty initially, but the replays clearly showed that it wasn't.

          Jackie Groenen seems back to her normal self, though she's just had covid and it's bloody hot. Left back Jansen is playing really well.

          Second goal for Sweden means the Dutch will need at least 2 to avoid playing France. Where's a Miedema when you need her...?

            Portugal conceded a third deep in injury time, so currently the easiest path to avoiding France is to concede a goal to the Swiss and be eliminated from the tournament.

              Well, if the Swiss start helping, then maybe...

                  How did the Swiss not take the lead there?

                    I'd credit that reserve goalkeeper the Dutch have on the field, but she also needed a decent dollop of luck.

                      If they did win by one goal, they and Holland would have identical records, so what would decide who progresses?

                        Head to head. Head to head trumps goal difference in fact- wouldn't matter if Dutch had put 8 past Portugal

                              An almighty mix up at the back gives the Dutch the lead, after the Swiss goalie ineffectually flaps at a cross.

                                And almost instantly 3-1!

                                  A Swiss flick-on will probably mean it finishes 3-1.

                                    4-1 undoubtedly flatters the Dutch.

                                      A lot of pressure on Audrey Hepburn there. Ridiculous that she had to make the decision. What are the VAR people doing?

                                      Can the Dutch do a Bristol Rovers?

                                        France v Netherlands will be an excellent QF.

                                          5-1 to France.

                                            Just watched the second half after pausing it to make tea. Tough on the Swiss who should have scored at 1-1. Are we to assume with VAR that the video assistant makes the decision and the ref's job is merely to pretend to study the screen for an agreed minimum period before jogging back on to signal the decision as theatrically as possible, otherwise she might be expected to spend the same amount of time agonising over her decision as the video assistant which was well over 3 minutes in this case.

                                              It's blasphemy, but even the Dutch press are saying Holland are a much better side without Lieke Maartens.
