Koeman is going band-for-band with Joachim Löw. And not exactly for their managerial skills.
The Netherlands won their first three points after coming back and defeating Poland 2-1 in the first match of Group D on Sunday.
Poland’s Adam Bursa opened the scoring in the first 15 minutes of the game, with the Netherlands turning the game around through Cody Gakpo and the clutch-substitute Wout Weghorst just seven minutes before the end of the match.

Another exciting match to a very entertaining start to the Euros.
However, what was perhaps the most entertaining (?) moment of the match came directly from the team bench and Ronald Koeman’s nose.
Watch: Ronald Koeman caught eating and licking his own boogers in Netherlands-Poland
You have to watch this. Or not.
Dutch national team manager, Ronald Koeman, was captured on the team bench getting ready for the restart of the match, having perhaps the worst pre-game ritual we've since thus far. Ever.
The FC Barcelona legend was caught picking his nose, only to later put the very same fingers used to do so back in his mouth in yet another addition to the one-of-a-kind Euros moments list so far. He even licked his hands afterwards.

Just… why?
This reminded fans of the infamous nose and body-picking 2014 World Cup champion manager Joachim Löw, who was seen reaching inside his pants and putting whatever he had found back into his mouth. He has multiple offenses since.
