Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman is not keen on panicking ahead of the Euro 2024 round of 16 against Romania, despite a disappointing group stage, which saw them finish third after a defeat to Austria. “I don’t think I’ll make many changes to the starting eleven. We shouldn’t panic just because of one result. Sometimes it’s just that the opponent is better,” Koeman said. “We accept criticism and we want to please the fans tomorrow. I have the feeling that we’ll show a good reaction after the Austria game.”

Have you been dreaming of a body language analysis of Bellingham? The Daily Mail did it
Judi James speaks: “At the press conference, he sits, his broad shoulders drawn in and his chin lowered, his forehead furrowed under frowning eyebrows. His arms are slightly folded into a self-protective barrier and he fiddles with the microphone for several minutes. At one point, he rests his chin on the palm of his hand and puts his curled fingers to his mouth, as if he wants to say more but is holding back from doing so. ” Interesting…
“The balance between his words and body language suggests the right levels of resilience and motivation and he seems like a true dedicated player rather than a diva,” continues the expert.
“The really good news about his body language comes from his small gesture when asked if his goal could have kicked off the tournament for him. His response with a shoulder shake suggests positive enthusiasm and anticipation that will hopefully extend to the rest of the team ahead of the Switzerland game. » Well!
Bellingham and Rice expected to escape punishment

England is being gently mocked on the Tour
“Not much is happening but it could be worse. We could be watching one of England’s matches at the Euros. »
“Months ago, when I was asked, I said that I didn’t think it was very likely to win the Euro, without completely ruling it out, and that’s what I would say again today,” says Ralf Rangnick. Spirit of Denmark 92, are you there?
We had forgotten, but our Georgian friends came very close to a big check yesterday.
Turkish fans dominate the stands, French at the back of the class
130,000 Turkish fans came to the stadium to support their national team in the three group stage matches, UEFA said. Germany (125,000), Croatia (103,000), Albania (95,000) and Romania (92,000) completed the top five.
France is only 18th with 41,000 supporters. The dunce’s cap goes to Spain with only 34,000 fans in three matches.
Franco-Belgian roads closed to prevent traffic jams

“Blocking or filtering roadblocks will be organized at the various border crossings, starting at 4 p.m. on Monday. They will only be lifted during the night, if the context allows it,” they explained in a joint press release.
Good luck to the brave who take to the road!

As a reminder, no Thomas Meunier this evening
The Belgian full-back is out of the round of 16 against France. With a thigh injury, “Thomas needed two more individual sessions before joining the group,” Tedesco said at a press conference on Sunday.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player “did not travel with the team to Düsseldorf, he remained at the base camp in Ludwigsburg,” explained the Belgian Federation.
“If they want to make decisions, the supporters must play football themselves,” replies De Bruyne
KDB was very annoyed by the whistles received against Ukraine, RTBF invited him to explain himself. “We just need the supporters to play well. I think the team made every effort during the three games. Sometimes you don’t win, it happens,” replies the City midfielder.
“I can understand the frustration of some people. We make decisions during the game. They may think they are not the best choices, but they are the ones we made. If they want to make decisions, they have to work and play football themselves.”
Advantage to the Blues in the stands?
French fans are expected to be outnumbered today at the stadium, but this remains to be confirmed, as L’Equipe writes. With the start of the knockout phase leading fans to review their organization and UEFA to reduce the contingents, for fear of not finding takers for all the tickets, “the French quota went from 12,000 to 8,000 tickets, sold in five hours.”
“The Belgians, for their part, are announced at only 6,000 for the match, but they knew how to animate a whole turn in Frankfurt, Cologne and Stuttgart during the last matches, with a cohort announced higher (between 10,500 and 12,000).” If they decide to whistle the Devils like against Ukraine, no problem, there can even be 20,000 if they want!
On the Tour too, we think of France-Belgium
La Derniere Heure spoke with the Belgian Oliver Naesen, who races for the French Decathlon-AG2R team: “A forecast? I will try for a 2-1 for us, although I fear the score will be reversed. »
“In 2018, I had already experienced the semi-final of the World Cup while I was involved in the Tour. No need to tell you that I don’t have an unforgettable memory of it (laughs)… I had colored my cheeks with black-yellow-red makeup in the middle of an audience in which I was the only Devils supporter among around forty French people because I was more confident then than for the match on Monday. »
“I went back up to my room a little over 90 minutes later, dejected, without a glass of champagne in my hand (laughs)… I could already see myself celebrating Belgium’s accession to the final. (…) The arrival of the 3rd stage in Turin is not planned too late (around 5 p.m.) but I haven’t yet studied our transfer to the hotel. If we’re not back for the kick-off, we’ll look at it on the bus.”
