Suffolk, the lack of match sharpness applied equally to the Dutch, and to the Swiss and Portuguese the night before. I agree with you about the Spurs and Liverpool players; both Wijnaldum and Van Dijk started, ludicrous selection on Southgate's part. But the very fact that "being tired" was being talked about beforehand illustrates what's wrong in our mental approach; if you are always looking for reasons why you won't reach the top, you'll certainly never get there.

Wasn't this thread for fellow Promotion contenders games? I just found a loads of Champions League and England game chat on here. That's why I started the General Football thread. To talk about football going on that wasn't Norwich.

Just noticed I've said basically the same thing as other posters, but on a different thread.

I see both threads as valid. One, 'General Football', does what it says on the tin -
anything, at any time non specific to NCFC>
The other is basically ongoing based on fixtures that day for easy finding for anyone wanting to comment on anything pertaining to that particular day's action.
Or am I being thick and missing something. :emoticon-0112-wonde

Nope, fair point.
 
Obviously, as a Portuguese resident, I'm delighted that Portugal won last night. Their players are all technically gifted, and their defence is very well organised. I was disappointed how far Dutch football seems to have fallen, though. They had a brief spell after Portugal scored when they looked a little threatening, but the last 15 minutes they just plonked high balls forward into the box. I'm old enough to remember the Dutch teams of the 70s and I never thought I would see the day when the Dutch resorted to Pulisball.

It was a decent game, but only four shots taken by the Dutch was ridiculous. Credit to Portugal's defense, however, for most of the game Netherlands didn't even look to take a shot. Controlling possession is fine if it leads to something.
 
Aussies come from 2 down to lead 3-2 against Brazil.
Dodgy VAR awarded goal for Aussie 3rd
