[Buxtonclaret]

We've apparently never beaten the Dutch at this level.

[ollieclarets8]

Programme starts at 4.40pm. Hopefully a good performance.

[Buxtonclaret]

Maatsen in the Dutch side.
ER on the bench.
Looking forward to this.

[ollieclarets8]

England certainly the better team so far.

[Buxtonclaret]

0-0 ht.
England attacked most. Their keeper saved well early on.
Both sides played some decent stuff though.

Not sure what you mean by 'at this level' but England u21s have beaten Netherlands u21s in both competitive and friendly matches

I'm not sure. Was quoting what they said on the BBC footy site, before the game.
I posted it because I thought it surprising. Think they said there'd been 4 draws & 2 Dutch wins. Perhaps it's just in th Euro U21s games?

And Elliot scores all.

[Tricky Trevor]

What a cracking goal. Harvey Elliott

[Frenchclaret]

1-0 up. Harvey Elliott

6 previous meetings at under 21 level, resulting in 2 wins for Netherlands (one via penalties) and 4 draws.

[Buxtonclaret]

Seemed to curl around him!
Hell of a finish.

[ClaretTony]

And back in front

[Buxtonclaret]

Brilliant goal!!! 2-1

[KellyClaret]

6 previous meetings at under 21 level, resulting in 2 wins for Netherlands (one via penalties) and 4 draws.

Beat them in 2001, Michael Carrick scored for England and Remco van der Schaaf played for the Dutch

[Tricky Trevor]

An even better goal from Elliott. 2-1 up, 85 mins

[Buxtonclaret]

Well done, England!
They deserved that.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Germany unbeaten since '23.
The French always seem to have great young players coming through.

Will it be a sell out ? The final?

There was a match on the channel last week which was the first time I’d heard of it

[ClaretTony]

And Germany now 2-0 up

[Tricky Trevor]

Loving watching Germany launch it if under any pressure.
None of Peps arseing about.

There's enough crap on the ones I do know, without them inventing new ones.

Tbh it may be a typical tickets sold but less than full attendance job, with some being sold ahead of time. Should be a decent crowd though

Just hope you're not plonked next to those bloody drummers!

[Buxtonclaret]

Tchaouna is on.

[RVclaret]

Tchaouna is on.

Made a quick impact. Almost had an assist there.

[Buxtonclaret]

He can pick a pass, can't he.

[Tricky Trevor]

Not watched a lot of games but one thing is obvious. There has been no standing around the ball when a FK is given. I hope that is one of the new interpretations when they are announced.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I'm in the bloody German end

[Bosscat]

I'm in the bloody German end

Oooooooops Take a trumpet and start playing "The great escape"

[ŽižkovClaret]

Be reyt. I imagine i'll be able to work my way around the bowl to the other end, or park myself in the less partisan areas.

Otherwise if you see a chunky lad windmilling through the German end.......

[Buxtonclaret]

You're absolutely right.
Speaking to a Rams fan last night, I've known for years.
He was at the game, played at Pride Park.
Just the Beeb, putting naff info on their site. Not the first time they've done it.

[ŽižkovClaret]

VIP tickets available at 199 euro....... not tempted enough tbh

[Mala591]

Final v Germany is tonight at 19.30 Channel 4

Had a ropey day yesterday so opted for glastonbury on the couch instead......

Emjoying pulp as a warm up to the game

[Darnhill Claret]

Good to see that Brooke Norton-Cuffy is continuing to realise his early potential.

Remember being impressed by him when he played at the turf for Rotherham (on loan from Arsenal) in our previous promotion season.

[Tribesmen]

Come on Germany
