Seems to be some uncertainty in the Netherlands defence.
Senegal getting far too much ball in around their box.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE FUCKING SHOT DE JONG?!
You had a golden chance. Hesitated and blew it.

Wake the **** up Netherlands.
Give Senegal more chances like that, eventually it's going to go in.

Good effort Berghuis.
Unfortunately it was too high.

Half time and no goals yet.
Netherlands should be on the board. Gakpo and De Jong both had golden opportunities at goal but both of them hesitated.

Nice start to Netherlands WC campaign beating Senegal 2-0.
It looked like it was going to end up as a draw. It was a frustrating game at times, Netherlands weren't really creating any chances in around Senegal's box in that second half and turned over possession quite a few times. But a nice cross from De Jong set up Gakpo's goal and Mendy not being able to control Depay's shot attempt resulted in Klaassen scoring the second to seal the win.
They left it very late but they got the result in the end. A draw isn't a bad result, but it's always better to start off with a win.

Well we get to see behind the curtain for a social few issues thanks to Qatar. The ability to see the true character of some 'current things'
1) Rainbows.... Seems like they are indeed corporate virtue signalling tools and kicked to the kerb very quickly when dollars are at stake. The English team were threatening to display a rainbow or two so FIFA stepped in and vetoed that quick smart, which is actually ironic when you think about it as it's kind of the exact place you would need to be doing that signalling for it to mean anything important.
2) Take the knee. What the hey? The English team taking a knee to support Iran? I mean.. wonderful but what on earth does that symbol even mean any more apart from supporting the 'current thing'!?
Now the English team, they just get to feel good with their signalling.. The Iranian team, that is powerful what they did.. real risk being taken there. All for separating sport and politics.. but that seem idealistic and I watch with interest how events unfold in Qatar.

I watched a documentary on one of the foxtel crime channels about how Qatar "won" their bid to host the World Cup, obviously via corruption
Still makes me wonder how they didn't restart the process

I'm loving the injury time being the actual amount of time people are fucking around on the ground or whatever else. About time.
Netherlands didn't look that great.

I think that's a rubbish call to award a penalty.
