Australia have started off pretty good. Not sure why Van Gaal went with 5-3-2, though. Would have thought he would have went with a more attacking line-up against the Aussies.

Why is that players fall to the ground acting as if they just broke their leg and 30 seconds they're perfectly fine and running around as if nothing happened? Seriously, I have seen this happen MULTIPLE times in EVERY single worldcup I have watched so far.

Not the best start for the Dutch, some very sloppy passing.

As many predicted, Holland have started very slowly here. The Robben mis control in the area has summed them up so far.

I expected an all out attack approach from the Netherlands, but that kind of sloppy passing is unacceptable.

I thought everyone said Australia were a poor team? They were unlucky not to get anything against Chile and are currently outplaying the much hyped Dutch team.

The aussies are setup perfectly to counter the 352, the dutch are struggling to string a couple of passes together. I expect a change to a 433 at half time.
