With regards to these pitch invaders..... from the pictures you can see it looks like a not insignificant portion of the security stewards are facing and watching the match rather than the supporters.
Belgium looking so much better than in the first game. Edit: great game! Both teams really committed, attacking and playing with loads of energy. End to end stuff
Why are people from Holland or the Netherlands called Dutch? Why do we say Greece rather than Hellas?
The word Dutch comes from a Proto-Germanic word meaning “of the people.” It shares a root with the German word Deutsch, which has led to some confusing names. The name Germans call Germany, for example, is Deutschland and the people there Deutsch. Dutch and German are related, after all, both being Germanic languages. It goes back to the Middle Ages, when the national boundaries were not tidily drawn and Dutch was seen as a kind of Low German ("low" because of the area's low elevation — that's also what the nether in Netherlands means)
Been a great game. But Belgium, for all their attacking quality, won't be winning the Euros with Faes and Vertonghen at CB.
If the group stage finished like this, I believe the L16 would read: Spain v Slovakia Germany v Denmark Portugal v Slovenia France v Romania Belgium v Albania Netherlands v Turkey England v Austria Switzerland v Italy However, my guess is that it will instead look something like: Spain v Ukraine Germany v Denmark Portugal v Hungary Netherlands v Romania Belgium v Austria France v Turkey England v Czech Republic Switzerland v Italy The two sides guaranteed to finish in the above slots are Spain and Portugal.
Not even close, that would have been an excellent goal in the right net, never mind his own, perfect strike.
