Netherlands vrs Ukraine chat. [I Love Real Football]

@Yulianna Ukraine have some talented players but give the ball away under pressure and can't defend. Shevchenko was a great player. Not sure about him as a coach.

@Burnley123 🇺🇦 yeah, they are young and not very organised. they panicked at the end, before the Dutch third goal.

they should at least be more coherent, with so many players from Dynamo Kyiv.

@Yulianna I think you will beat North Macedonia. The Austria game will be 50/50.

@Burnley123 🇺🇦 i hope... three points should be enough.

@Yulianna I think part of the problem for the Ukraine team is that Shaktar and Dinamo dominate their league so much. The players are used to having the ball but rarely face a team who press them or send high balls into the box, as the Dutch did. They have skills but are not used to playing under that kind of pressure.

I'd be very surprised if you didn't beat North Macedonia and yes, three points will be enough. Against Austria, it will be a good close game.

@Burnley123 that is good thinking... it is about six years since i played at school.

i wanted to be Luca Modric... there were no Ukrainians that i really admired. 😁

@Yulianna I didn't play for my school football team because I hated the game when I was very young and only started schoolyard games at thirteen. Then I became massive fan: watching and reading about it.

By 15 I was tactically as good as anyone but my feet wouldn't do what my brain told them to do!

@Burnley123 i played from 13 years to 16 years, for my school junior team, i was ok. but i got an injury in quarter final of national championship, we lost the semi final and the next year, when i had to move up to the senior squad, coach would not guarantee me a starting place, or even a sub place. i was bad tempered, told him, no place, no train!

the end of my soccer career!

and i'm not really sure why i told you that... lol!

@Yulianna Its funny. Thanks for sharing.

@Burnley123 yeah, i guess it is... 😆
