Football is so crazy at times. We all know that, fans, players, staff. I was as shocked as everyone. Poch has done a tremendous job at Spurs, and it won’t be easy to top his team perfomance and passion for our club. In football nothing is certain, but one thing is:

I told you it would have been better for NL to meet Spain in the knockouts 😅.. All jokes aside, horrible performance from the Dutch team yesterday, the Czechs completely deserved the win. 😔
