I would say Wijnaldum but I'm not sure how good his form's been the last few years since he left Liverpool

van Dijk and de Ligt is still an outstanding pair for an intl tournament like this.

Didn't realize they have Ake as well. That is a real 3 CB group.

de Lijt is going to get a persistent infringement yellow soon... he's had about 5 fouls for take-downs.

Netherlands look very uncomfortable playing out of the back

For as good as the Dutch seem on paper, Janssen and Bergwijn are the best they can do up front?

It's a dead horse, but man - I think Senegal would be winning if they had Mane.

I don't see the Dutch with enough class to score or Senegal finding a way to break through this defense. 0-0 unless there's a lucky counter or a pen in the next 45.

Depay isn't fully recovered from an injury yet or it would have been him instead of Janssen. Seeing him now for 30 minutes so we'll see how the rest of this game goes

Senegal has looked like the better squad in the 2H

Netherlands just have nothing in offense. Their tournament is really going to ride on the health of Depay…yikes.

what a chance for senegal, but the save was made and a player in an offsides position was in the way and the flag was up anyway.

Forgot about Depay. Would've been a major upgrade over Janssen.

I didn't predict that this game would be the most boring of the first 2 days.

feels like both squads are willing to ride this out to a 0-0 draw and take their chances vs Qatar and Ecuador

What is Mendy doing there? Just completely misreads that ball

As if he didn't even see Gakpo coming in. He should've gotten there first but I'll give Gakpo credit…dude has hops

Senegal don't have a creative midfielder to create chances and without sane lack teeth in their counter.
Dutch lack a good striker and wingers (depay being unfit for 90).

Nice service by de jong on the goal.

he has been out of form for a while, but judging the flight of the ball was always one of his weaker areas. For a keeper of his stature, he is nowhere near as commanding of the box on corners/FKs as you might expect.

Feels like a rough score line for Senegal

I think Senegal has a good chance to get 6 pts the next two matches. They're a good side.

Definitely. Hope that last one doesn't come back to bite them.
