Jinzha 512 Posted August 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Two draws for the Dutch team. Belgium and Spain are by no means weak, but everyone definitely expected more of the reigning world champs. I hope they grow in the tournament, but it looks like there's a genuine chance they go out in groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all they need to reach the semis is for Belgium - Spain not to end in a draw. And even if does end in a draw, Netherlands still has a good chance, because Spain only has a Goal difference of +1. So with a win with a goal difference of two or more against Russia, Netherlands will definitely make it to the next round.

EselTheDonkey 622 Posted August 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm sure all dutch Hockey Fans were watching this game biting their fingernails until the end, hoping against hope, that they might sneak through. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,181 Posted August 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2019 women's hockey is really funny: Germany 13-0 Belarus England 4-3 Belarus England 1-1 Germany Netherlands 14-0 Russia Spain 1-0 Russia Spain 1-1 Netherlands Things are more "consistent" in men's hockey lately, it used to be the other way around few years ago.

Jinzha 512 Posted August 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well that was a blowout. Glad there was nothing to worry about in the end. Excited for the semi finals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCB 422 Posted August 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2019 And Belgium , finalist two years ago, is out! They lost against Spain and ended third in the poule, behind The Netherlands. After the surprisedraw against they really thought they closed the gap with the world elite, but four days later they are in the playdown matches at this European Championships.

Dennis 600 Posted August 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2019 destroyed (2016 Olympic Champions) with 8-0 in the semi finals, which means that they have scored 22 goals in a row now without conceiving one. Not bad after the sub-par start of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,181 Posted August 23, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2019 England is nowhere near the team they were in 2016. Both because of names and because of level of play. I think they could struggle in the olympic play-offs even if they play a team like Chile or Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
