Clockwork Oranje

Would be sad for Bosz to leave PSV but it's gotta be him. He maybe wouldn't win us a tournament but he'd have us playing exciting attacking football every match for the first time in 25 years (no exaggeration)

Unless Koeman improves or gets an easy draw like at Euro 2024, we'll be looking for a new coach this time next year. These are probably the four most likely options - who would you pick? If someone else, reply with them, but be realistic (No, Slot isn't leaving Liverpool)😅

Been thinking a lot about Kees Smit with him looking like the biggest Dutch talent in a long time. The best thing for Oranje would be if he developed into a striker. He has great movement, great finishing and is a good height. Unlikely that he'll become one, but we can dream...

Incredibly impressive achievement, and it's not like she's just benefitted from having talented squads - just look at how England did before she took over and how Oranje did after she left.

These numbers really aren't great for Koeman, who has the lowest PPG of any manager to take charge of a significant number of matches. Factoring in the importance of games, Michels and Van Gaal stand out.

The points per game of each Netherlands manager since 1974:

Prediction: Around this time next year, Peter Bosz will be announced as the new Netherlands manager.

A friendly reminder that Infantino blocked Van Dijk and a number of other captains from wearing OneLove armbands at the last World Cup on the basis that politics should be kept out of football.

Jonker very much justifying the KNVB's decision to get rid of him after the tournament tonight. To bench Miedema and Brugts and then not bring either on until your hopes of progression are over is crazy.

Things you love to see: 🧡🧡🧡

As long as England don't lose to Wales, we're guaranteed to progress if we beat France. Hard to see that happening after tonight though...

This from the women's team is genuinely one of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen an Oranje side produce, makes KoemanBall looks like prime Michels 😂

Huge congratulations to the U19s on winning the Euros! I didn't get to watch much of it, but it sounds like Smit, Land and Heerkens were especially impressive. Exciting generation!

Thinking back to yesterday, I'm so baffled by Reiziger's substitutions. He took off our best player (Valente) to move Maatsen back into midfield, which didn't work in the opening match, and then took off a striker when we needed a goal. Not a good tournament from him at all.

Yeah this guy is the real deal

The most orange thing he's touched since he last put on an Oranje shirt

Much better from the U21s today. Flamingo as a DM worked decently and Van Bergen was great at leading the line. Need to be even better against Portugal though.

Two seriously impressive performances from Kees Smit in the u19 side's opening two matches of the Euros. He's a great ball carrier and a big goal threat. Can see him becoming the breakout star of next season.

Reiziger has gone done in my estimations so much at this Euros. He found a formula that worked during qualifying and has decided to completely change it for some bizarre reason. Maatsen and Salah-Eddine in midfield over Banzuzi in the first two games is just crazy.

Huge escape for Jong Oranje in their first match of the Euros. Valente and Poku saved Reiziger after he made the bizarre decision to bench them and completely change the setup that worked so well in qualifying by putting Maatsen in midfield.
