Delighted that Afellay is starting, he was a risk

I'm keeping Lewandowski as captain. Now that I've posted that, I can't change my mind again.

Likewise. Had Sneijder in my team right up until deadline, then freed up some cash with Afellay instead. Let's hope it works out.

Predictions??? 3-1 to Holland for me

BKC

Predicting a Holland victory but hoping Denmark can get a result!

Ditto.

The line I keep hearing is "Denmark won't be the whipping boys of this group people think they will be". I've heard it so many times now that I'm certain everyone expects Denmark to get at least a couple of draws.

Personally, I don't buy it and think Holland are going to stuff them. Had a nice little handicap bet on Holland winning by more than one goal (9/5), so I'm expecting at least a 2-0.

I also have Afellay, Sneijder, and RVP in various different FF games, so hoping for an even bigger win.

That pitch looks absolutely awesome

Yep, hoping for big things! Great value

carlcon

Sneijder should have done better with RVP's floated pass there. Had tons of time.

Dempsey

now the dutch will get the finger out

Kylo Ren

Williems CS gone. Typical.

carlcon

Krohn-Dehl goal.

He took out an entire backline with that final touch before slipping through the keeper's legs.

Loved that touch. Quality stuff!

Come on you Danes!

carlcon

I don't think Afellay or Robben understand the concept of "crossing". RVP is looking frustrated, so he keeps coming short or wide, leaving nobody in the box.

First 30 mins has Huntelaar written all over it. It's ridiculous that they think they can't play both up front.

Dempsey

the dutch are getting worse. ht cant come quick enough. can see afellay being subbed at ht for huntelaar and rvp pushed left

Unfortunately, I agree. Will suck seeing RVP go wide, but at least then he'll be more likely to notch an assist or two, because he's getting nothing from Afellay of Robben right now, who have done nothing but try to score themselves so far.

RVP moments ago

Dempsey

rvp as captain is going to be a bust. iniesta to save my blushes!

manual_man

Epic result by Denmark. In fairness

carlcon

Thank goodness Dzagoev got that 2nd goal yesterday. Otherwise, I definitely would have made RVP my captain for today.

manual_man

Meh. Sneijder fails to get on the points-sheet (but i think we can blame his teammates wasteful finishing at least a bit for that). Captain change number 3. Come on Robbie Keane

Phoenix Park

Lads, you know the way you can make one free substitution in Matchday one.... If i take off someone who has played yesterday (eg take off Samaras) and sub in Jelavic for example, will Jelavic score points in Matchday 1 against Ireland or will he only score points from Matchday 2 onwards?

thanks

still hope Jelavic scores feck all tomorrow either way

EDIT: sorry, line one should read one free TRANSFER rather than one free substitution

manual_man

Hummels starts instead of Mertesacker

carlcon

Gomez goal. Khedira assist.

darego

well VP was a let down. ibra or young for captaincy?

I think you are confusing substitutions and transfers.

Your squad as it is now stands until the end of matchday one. You can substitute a low-scoring player from your starting XI for a player from your bench who is yet to play. You can do this for all 4 bench players if you so wish.

You have 1 free transfer before the start of matchday 2. If you make that transfer now the player transferred in will not be a part of your squad until matchday 2 starts.
