The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup

This will not end 11 v 11

Van Bommel will do well to make it to half time.

Some tasty tackles going in.  The Dutch could have been 2 men down already

Wasn't sure who to support but now I hope Spain win after those tackles.

On par with the last World cup final van bommel likely to get sent off in 2nd half, penalties anyone?

De Jong a very lucky boy!

Poor  game, I actually think the Dutch had the better of it though.
I wonder would Holland have let Spain score if that pass back to Casilles from the Dutch player gone in over his head into the back of the net

[Bogball XV]

the rte panel have surpassed themselves in their unbelievably biased summation of the first half.  The absolute shite their talking at the moment is without parallel.  Gilesie believes the dutch people at home want to lose this game, so disugusted will they be with dutch tactics
I don't know, personally i think the dutch have been the better side and are playing the spanish very well so far, difficult to keep it up though.  Both sides have been fairly durty, but the panel have ignored that side of their game.

Re the casillas mistake, i think it would have been fair enough for the dutch to take the corner as normal, casillas kicked the ball out in the first place, they certainly didn't need webb over directing them to hit the corner back to casillas, it was nothing to do with him either way.

Aye I nearly choked on my Double Decker bar when I heard Giles saying the Dutch people wouldn't care if they won or not now

[GalwayBayBoy]

After losing two World Cup finals I think the Dutch would be delighted no matter how they won one.

[Bogball XV]

awful miss by robben, really terrible.

[tyroneboi]

An equally bad miss by Villa there. A lot of men who backed him for top scorer would have been screaming at the TV there!

As a former defender I would actually give credit to the defender who blocked his shot

[Tony Baloney]

Another sitter missed.

Torres to score the winner.

[tyroneboi]

In fairness Heitinga certainly made up for his error in the first place.

The sooner Van Bommell gets sent off the better!

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

What an ugly, repulsive spectacle this 'game' truly is.
