Holland playing like Liverpool.

World champions getting destroyed in fairness it could be different if Casillas didn't give away two very soft goals. Poor goalkeeping in this world cup so far.

We have a contender!!!

The end happens all teams, but its sad to see a great spain team get destroyed

Holland are a very hard team to like. What a goal from Van Persie though, the header. Brilliant thinking.

This Spain team been on the slide since brazil thrashed them a year ago, they not win it, the problem with Spain is they have alot of skillful footballers but no hard hitters like Nadal or a player like Roy Keane, when the shit hits the fan they lie down all too easy,

hard to like? i always liked them from the Van Basten Gullit era, helped that my main team was AC Milan and the main man there and my favourite player was Van basten

[AZOffaly]

I can't stand Robben, and De Jong , and I hate the sulky heads on them when things are going wrong.

Was it Van Gaal who crossed it for the first goal?

I think it's too soon to be writing of Spain. There will be a lot of over reaction when a result like this happens.
Spain should have been 2 up if Villa didn't p***k around. We'd all be saying Spain were great then.
I think it was a foul for the 3rd goal.

Always liked Holland for some unknown reason myself. Always cheer for them in tournaments that Ireland don't qualify for.
