Incredible improvisation there. Keepers off the line, ball's too high to volley it, I'm going lob him with me noggin. Great quick thinking.

Van Persie leapt into that like Superman. Amazing. Can't wait til he's back in a red shirt.

RvP you sexy bastard. Also watch us getting linked with Blind tomorrow. We're "preparing a bid" as we speak.

Lovely ball, fantastic header!

That man Robin just never makes a bad decision in the box, instinctive and clinical.
He does. It's often the ridiculous stuff (like that) that he makes look easy.

No forget 50, more like a 100 times. What a bloody goal. Classic Van Persie goal. No second thoughts, no messing about, he sees the opportunity, and he takes it.

world class goal from a world class player, love it.

deserved as well, Spanish conned the ref for the penalty and have had all the decisions from him as well, officials are just dire this world cup.

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!
Put money on Spain at 1.91 early on, laid them after a goal which means I win $98 from $64 regardless of a result. Now I am cheering Holland. Perfect game.

Clasie for de Guzman. We know that Clasie can do those type of balls and they suit the tactics of Netherlands. De Guzman would not be much of a loss at all.

Great to see him ignore the rest of the team and run straight for LVG.

But which one of them was at fault for the high five fail?

Brilliant from RVP. Im sure Casillas was certain RVP was going to take that down on his chest. He sort of played a dummy and then headed it.

Both Robben and RVP have came very, very close to beat the Spanish offside trap. Won't be surprised to see Holland getting another one on one chance.
My genius is wasted on you guys!

Only @Randall Flagg gave me credit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Casillas venture into no mans land at some point in the champions league like that? Heads gone already from football overkill... can't remember!
