Was a joy to watch. Spain were poor but Van Gaal had Holland playing some magnificent stuff. Robben and RVP were wonderful upfront, especially in the second half.

They beat the World and European Champions 5-1! With an Aston Villa centre half!
The BBC commentary made a good comparison to when we beat the Rags 6-1 and were taking them apart, except Holland did this against 11 men.
Impressive stuff.

I would've thought Jackson Martinez would be starting. Hmm

Couldn't miss that one. Just hope the ref didn't give that for the handball but he was definately held.

Good goal by Campbell there and makes the game all square. Uruguay haven't done anywhere near enough for me and Costa Rica have deserved that.

CR winning 2-1, will the manager risk Suarez?
