My trousers are soaked after that. That's the best header I've ever seen.

What a goal by van persie!!!! Perhaps undeserved as Holland haven't created much.

Blind should play midfield like he normally does. Just a shame there no one else to play LWB

Quite shocked the ref allowed the goal based on refs so far in this World Cup

Because you can't play a dark colour vs a dark colour or a light vs a light, FIFA thought Spain's dark red kit and Hollands dark blue kit would watch so Spain had to make a white kit.
Someone posted it earlier:
Because FIFA says Spain's red counts as a dark jersey rather than a light one. Their away jersey is black, so it's also dark.
Spain chose their home jersey which is red, so Holland had to choose their away jersey . But FIFA then argued that 2 dark jerseys can't be used, so Spain actually had to create an alternative third white jersey for this game.
Because you can't play a dark colour vs a dark colour or a light vs a light, FIFA thought Spain's dark red kit and Hollands dark blue kit would watch so Spain had to make a white kit.
Cheers lads, seems daft.

Moyes work is paying off. Only fellaini would have done better

Unreal. I at least expected him to take a touch. He is going to be so important for us next year.

Shit high five though with the gaffer.

I'm really in a dilemma.

I put money on Spain.

But the game makes me realize I want them to lose.

I bet on Spain in a betting league with bros where I can also win money.

Things like Costa's dive though make me realize that I want them to lose.

If Spain lose though and go through as 2nd of the group they'd end up on Germany's side of the knock out round bracket...horrible thought for me!

BUT I WANT THEM TO LOSE SO BAD!

Best half of the World Cup so far, unsurprisingly.
