Day 2: Spain vs. Netherlands

[CantonaGiggs1]

van Gaal really is a genius, isn't he?

only behind Moyes.

 

[The Taurean]

Such an entertaining match.

 

[bastip92]

They should give pepper spray to the referees instead of that vanishing crap.

 

[Crackers]

RVP is on fire.

 

[mic.m]

casillas is officially past it. I said it before De Gea should be first choice. I guess Spain will revert to proper tiki taka with false9 Fabregas. this slightly open game with costa has backfired

 

[Browniee]

LVG has my permission to sign the Dutch team

 

[Wittmann45]

Ref got Indi's sneaks dirty

 

[Sunny Jim]

Don't have much sympathy for Casillas. Has always come across as self-entitled .

What does it.mean mate??

 

[MTR]

Casillas is garbage. Are Madrid going to be keeper-hunting this summer? Hands off Dave.

Why? Diego Lopez is twice the goalkeeper Casillas is right now. Or maybe for two years.

Van Gaal as our new manager. RvP scoring for fun.

Lads, I'm genuinely excited for next year. We might not win the league, but we're going to play some great football methinks.

This.

It feels so long to watch consistent good performances

 

[Mihajlovic]

LVG just smiled again. Happy.

 

[Sixpence]

Cheating cnuts are at it again.

 

[Banana007]

Don't have much sympathy for Casillas. Has always come across as self-entitled.

Proper prick.

And his wife is stunning, no guy can have it all like him.

 

[Drifter]

No pen!

 

[RobbieB]

watching this makes me so excited for next season

 

[pseudo_canadian]

I want to see Big Dave between the sticks.

 

[Duafc]

I'm not one to get carried away but it's hard not to get excited about LVG watching this.

Spain have imploded a bit but they have some world class talent out there - a largely young, unbranded group of Dutch players have executed unbelievably well, with a talismanic RVP captain's performance.

 

[Sam]

Even if Casilas gets dropped it will be for Reina, right?

 

[Phil]

Oh feck off Spain

 

[Dylan94]

We're going to win the Champions League with Van Gaal next season. Even though we're not in it!

 

[Speak]

The stream I have on has the girl being hit the shovel playing in the background

 

[Red Dreams]

I don't even think it's a tactical masterclass really, he just seems to have Holland playing well and positively, with a belief that they can convincingly win games like this. Considering their play in the 2010 final and how they did in 2012 they've really surprised me tonight.

yeah...yeah van Gaal is a third rung manager....

 

[Crackers]

A Spanish player diving? Imagine that.

 

[Trizy]

what ever way I looked at my accumulator there I managed by mistake to pick Spain to win... the two games I wanted to avoid was Germany v Portugal and Spain vs Holland and some how managed to click them by mistake.. feck!

 

[NoLogo]

Nice try Torres, fecking gimp.

 

[Cheesy]

Nevermind dropping Casillas for De Gea, Del Bosque should considering taking off Torres for De Gea who'd probably do a better job than him up front.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Why didn't he make contact? Would of been a nailed on pen.

 

[REJE]

I don't understand how a player can be penalized for diving yet not receive a card?

 

[holyland red]

These diving exhibitions are not going to go away until the culprits get suspensions.

 

[Fenomeno9]

Potential Brazil-Spain last 16

Don't underrate Chile.

 

[)_(]

Cassilas just needs to drop himself, De Gea would've not made those stupid mistakes! Have to laugh at people in this thread though complaining about Spain being cheats when the Dutch have played in two of the dirtiest games, but of course only the Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, Brazilians etc are cheats.

 

[Red smarties]

For the core of the spanish team, this is one international tournament too many.

they have some serious thinking to do. some legends to axe.

You're from the UK, can you not watch on the BBC website?

 

[Randall Flagg]

lets sign Robben

 

[Sam]

Can we please sign Robben?

 

[duffer]

I don't understand how a player can be penalized for diving yet not receive a card?

He wasn't penalised for diving. A goal kick was given.

 

[Always Up]

 

[Wittmann45]

Ref calls for goal kick, which means he thought Torres dived, so why didnt he book Torres?

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

If Van Gaal can do this with an average bunch of players (plus RVP) imagine what he can do with....oh.....

 

[Banana007]

I never thought Casillas was a great keeper, and have had a few debates on here with other posters who hold otherwise. He was very good at his peak, but never great.

He shouldn't be starting for the Spanish side.

Made a blunder in the CL final in Lisbon too which everyone has forgot.

If he can't start for Real Madrid in La Liga he can't start for the World Champions in a World Cup with the floodlights on bright imo.
