What a slow and dreadful match between the Netherlands and Portugal. High hopes for France now to produce some actual football.
Seeing the USA as favorites in the group and perhaps Vietname as the easier target (maybe?), this would always be the decisive game for both NL and PT, I guess. The Netherlands has much more experience than Portugal in Euros and World Cups since this is the first participation for Portugal but I understood they are undergoing a renewal in the squad (?).
This to say that it seems normal for both teams to approach this game carefully. I only watched the last 30 minutes when NL was defending the victory but PT could not create any good chances.
