That's what I am afraid of - similar to after the England match.

Every time there has been a good away performance we end up having a bad performance at home. If They can hang with the Netherlands and take something out of this game and be in first after round 1 that would be another massicve step forward.

Also previewing the Netherlands match

I wouldn't get too carried away, we've been here before!

These are actually the matches that worry me more. I was happy to start on the road with the pressure off the younger team to perform. Now they come back home with big expectations. Just like last time with Denmark and Scotland. They were poor, nervous and overwhelmed in both matches. This will be the big test.

What a massive 3 points to kick us off. It really says something that they kept fighting to the end for deserved victory.

What an incredible start to the new campaign. All the hype around the new younger NT players and we rip off 2 straight wins, and finally we beat Germany. That's a statement win. I like the spirit in the team which is also a huge positive. So happy right now we are back. Pot 1 looking good for Euros. We won't need a playoff this time. All aboard to neo Piratiko!

I think they're also both sold out, which is great. Hopefully we make it our traditional cauldron. Didn't it host the Euro 2004 people vs PAOK, too? I seem to remember you angrily saying the 2004 team could probably still beat our club at the time. -edit- only being somewhat tongue in cheek when I call their reunion game an official NT game!

This is the way it should be!

Should be a packed, full house depending on the weather. Would be a great atmosphere for the boys to play in, one hopefully that can shake the Dutch.

Places should be earned - love that!!! And we can play down the Germany team all we want but their players are valued three times ours.
