Just catching up, great idea on how to fix the EA "glitch" of not moving you through to the final. Fans bad actions punishing the team was creative. I learn more about international games reading your careers every year than I do watching international games (I can't stand them in-season).
Very happy to see Netherlands win. They have been a team close to getting over the hill but always falling short or disappointing so seeing them finally win is nice.
Up the Orange! 🇳🇱
Fun fact: last time Netherlands won EURO, it was also in (West-) Germany.

Thanks man. I agree in regards to Netherlands, they've had so many gifted sides over the years, and one wouldn't really begrudge them, if they also managed to win something for a change. Well, except for the number of examples of Netherlands playing the dirty game a little too often IMO. The 2010 World Cup final, for instance, Netherlands-Portugal four years earlier and of course their match vs Argentina at the World Cup last year. Why are Netherlands so often involved, when games go crazy and the ref loses control? I don't know, but apart from that I've always found them to be a likeable unit, cheeing for them rather than the usual suspects Germany, France, Italy etc., who always win stuff. With this logic I suppose I should cheer for England too, but I'm afraid their entitlement and "it's coming home" has ruined that for me 😉

Ha, that's great, didn't think about that before now. Good find. But that also fits the narrative of hosts or neighbours of hosts often winning it. West Germany won in Switzerland in 1954, Denmark in Sweden 1992 etc.
