THE HODDLE OF COFFEE: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR NEWS AND LINKS FOR WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26

good morning!

We’re well underway at the Euros, so I figured now’s a good time to take a look at some of the best pictures from the competition.

This year’s competition has featured some pretty dramatic matches, including Austria’s 3-2 win over the Netherlands to top their group.

And, of course, there’s bound to be lots of #discourse over Gary Southgate’s England squad, right?

Anways, on with the pics.

Micky van de Ven plays

This picture of Micky van de Ven was taken when the Dutchman faced pressure from Austria’s Romano Schmid. VDV came on in the 65th minute.

Here’s another photo of Micky van de Ven. This time it’s during the Netherlands’ win over Poland.

It’s nice that our boy got gametime in both matches. And not so long so that it jeopardises his fitness for Spurs. We know our priorities here.

And here’s another picture of Micky van de Ven.

This time he’s on a bicycle. Of course, this isn’t during match play. This was actually before the tournament began.

Seriously, though, is there anything VDV can’t do?
