This is incredible
Van Persie's off so not him.
Oh, thanks mate I'm switching between T.V and PC didn't see he gave a goal kick
I take it Holland are everyone's second favourite team now?
That goal was absolutely phenomenal.
Imagine what would have happened if Moyes was managing Holland. I am suddenly very excited for next year
Hands off Robben lads, he is not leaving! 
Absolute class from him, such pace before the goal.
Unbelievable game though, can't believe it's 5:1 for the Dutch. Incredible game.

Lopez is decent, but he's not top class. He too makes his fair share of errors, and they could certainly do better than him. You're right that he's currently better than Casillas.
Vlaar is a rock.
If LVG can make the Dutch play like this just imagine what can he do with us.
This is what Del Bosgue gets for being sentimental.
Drop Casillas
Costa will be the fall guy but the older players are the problem, they need fresh blood in this Spanish team, young Spaniards.
Retire Bosque and a few Spanish old boys.
Aston Villa centre half keeps Spain at bay.... Worth a bid?
It was actually quite sad to see. Looks a broken man.
This is fecking unreal
Good to see Torres is just as wank for Spain as he is for us.
Lol WTF Spain
Goal difference could be crucial too.
Apologies. Lads and ladettes.
How much would Robben cost?
Spain are shellshocked.
This is preview for United v [insert big team] next season. Hopefully.
Casillas is absolutely finished. No surprised he isn't really first choice for Real anymore either.
So happy with this. I really thought this poor Dutch squad would have an awful tournament and LVG would be getting written off before he's even started but this just shows the genius of the man. Incredible result and a tactical masterclass.
Really incredible how LVG combines experienced WC player with talented / unexperienced player in one team.( Like he did with Muller and Badstuber e.g in Bayern as well.
Spain have conceded more goals in this game than in the entire 2010 World Cup.
This is Utd's future formation lads. Our future tactician. Our team is better than this Dutch team (other than Robben). This is a time to be excited. I could see Januzaj playing Robben's role very effectively.
WORLD CUP HAS LIFTOFF!!!
Great moment. Spain's dominance over the World game is over. Bye fecking bye good riddance to tiki taci.

this is embarrassing. tiki taka is dead. Pique, Ramos and Casillas should all be dropped.
The tika taka era really could be past.
Yep, I won't get too excited about him and I think some probably already have, but this is undoubtedly giving us a lot of confidence for the right reasons. We'll have to wait to see how he does here, and we don't know if he'll be a long-term success over the next few years, but whatever happens he'll be far better than Moyes. Which is something at least.I don't think we should get carried away, he will not make us world beaters immediately, United is a totally different proposition.
But as for this Holland performance, it stems from his ability as a coach - To take a young core of players and have them execute such a good game plan against the last 5 years Harlem Globetrotters is fantastic, IMO Cheesy.
Highlights for me is the mixture between 100% high tempo pressing and sitting off, given the circumstance. Composure on the ball - at times the Holland midfield has out posessioned Spain - and Robben/RVP (granted World Class players)
5-1 10 mins to go....
Bayern would not sell, he'd not want to leave.
A great thing to say to any prospective players coming will be to use this result.
Football, bloody hell!
Yep, the days of all Spanish CL finals are long gone.
Buy the whole dutch team!
30-35 at least.
This is just magnificent. I haven't enjoyed football this much for a while.
