Another 2.5 hours until kick-off: who is actually going to play?
National coach Ronald Koeman has already revealed it: Memphis Depay is in the starting line-up tonight. The national coach has not heard much of a ‘national discussion’ about the striker.
“I have no doubts about him at all,” says Koeman. “Of course it can and must be better, but there is also a history of competition rhythm. Memphis will have to grow in the tournament just like all of us.”
Koeman has no doubts about Memphis: ‘But we can and must do better’
At the press conference on Monday evening, Koeman further explained those words: “Without a good Memphis it will be difficult to get far. Normally he is an added value for this team. The team needs him, and he needs the team.”

Bild uncovers Rob Kemps: ‘He is behind Holland’s biggest European Championship hit’
“Rob Kemps (38) is the singer of the Dutch group ‘Snollebollekes’. With them he landed the party hit ‘Links rechts’ in 2015, which is now being carried through the German streets by thousands of Dutch people – including today in Berlin.”
The editorial staff of the German magazine Bild also saw the images of thousands of Orange fans running from left to right on that one issue. After all, the Germans also understand the literary high-quality chorus and so they looked up the singer of the song Rob Kemps. It delivered quite an interview about Dutch fans, celebrating and what Kemps thinks the final will be. You guessed it: the Netherlands-Germany.
“He is behind Holland’s biggest European Championship hit“, copies Bild.

‘Professor’ Rangnick works with dream students in Austria: ‘His game is in our DNA’
The players of the Austrian team flop down on their bench in the dressing room, satisfied. It’s June 2022 and they’ve just drawn against France in the Nations League.
Too bad about Kylian Mbappé’s late goal, they think. But still, drawing against the great France is an achievement to be proud of.
But then the trainer comes in. And he is not proud at all. Ralf Rangnick speaks seriously to his players: giving away a match like this should never happen again. Against no opponent.
It is the first memory of Austrian international Max Wöber of his current national coach. “I have never seen a trainer as angry as Rangnick was then,” he says in the run-up to the European Championship.

Netherlands-Austria with audio description on NPO 1 Extra
“Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp!” sounds good, but a blind person doesn’t understand it during a competition. That is why NOS offers this European Championship live audio description: commentary for people with a visual impairment.
The Netherlands-Austria can be followed tonight from 5.50 pm with live audio description on NPO 1 Extra.
This European Championship, NOS is experimenting for the first time with live audio description (ad) for the approximately 300,000 people in the Netherlands with a visual impairment.

How does audio description work? You can read it via the link below:

Losses and a possibly easier European Championship route? Orange doesn’t want to know anything about it
NOS
“To become a champion you have to beat everyone,” goes an age-old football cliché. But nothing is less true. On the way to the possible European title, it could even be beneficial for the Dutch team to lose to Austria. “We’re going for the win,” he says nevertheless.
The third and final group match for the Dutch team at the 2024 European Championship. The Netherlands has already won, but the match is still very important.
The Dutch team can still finish first, second or third in the group. “We just want to be first,” says Koeman firmly. “In my opinion, that is always the best, because it also means that you gain more confidence because you win another match.”
Flags and beer: Orange fans descend on Berlin campsites
The Orange procession has reached Berlin. The orange flags and banners with ‘go holland go’ are already hanging on the caravans and campers. “Just to show that we’re here.”
For Arjen van Beek, a camping Oranje fan, visiting a match of the Dutch national team is a boyhood dream. He likes that Orange feeling. “It starts on the highway, when you encounter other people with flags honking at each other, waving at each other.”
Flags and beer: Orange fans descend on Berlin campsites
For next to nothing, he is with his friends and father at the campsite in the middle of Berlin, where the Netherlands will meet Austria tonight at 6 p.m.
Hendrik Jan van Heerde has come to stand in the free spot next to Arjen. They don’t know each other. But orange connects. “I am about to have my 260th race. If you were at our campsite in Leipzig, you could have seen that there were a few hundred Dutch people. And we brought the bicycles with us, really Dutch.”
National coach Croatia criticizes Makkelie: 8 extra minutes was nonsense
National coach Zlatko Dalic of Croatia was not happy with the Dutch referee Danny Makkelie on Monday, after the match against Italy. According to the Croatian, the Dutch referee had allowed play to continue for far too long. “Eight minutes of extra time was really nonsense and unjustifiable.”
Croatia led 1-0 when Makkelie and his colleagues added eight minutes of extra time. Due to an equalizer by Italy in the 98th minute, Croatia’s elimination is almost certain.
“There were no interruptions in the match and not so many fouls. We played far too long,” Dalic complained. Croatian captain Luka Modric was also not happy with Makkelie. Immediately after the final whistle, the Real Madrid star went to the referee to ask for help.

National coach Dalic feels wronged. “It irritates me that Croatia is not respected and recognized. We are a small country, UEFA and FIFA do not pay much attention to us. I wonder if this would also happen to countries like Portugal or Spain.”
“I would like to congratulate my team for their courage and commitment, for all their efforts. The players were fantastic. It is not easy, but that is football. We stuck to our tactics for 98 minutes, but unfortunately everything fell apart.”
Thriller between Italy and Croatia: back to last night
Italy qualified for the eighth finals of the European Championship on Monday evening, thanks to a goal well into injury time. Mattia Zaccagni gave the Italians a 1-1 draw against Croatia in the closing seconds. That point was enough for second place in group B.
The Italians will now play against Switzerland in the next round, which is Saturday at 6 p.m.
It remains to be seen for the Croats, they can still continue as number three in the group, but with two points that seems to be a difficult story.
