There have been a few shocking tackles in this game - a few have gone flying in
Refs have been poor - very poor again

Superb scoring from Holland.
I don't like Spanish football one bit.

Spain v Netherlands has certainly lived up to the billing. However, not exactly the expected result. The Dutch have torn them apart in the 2nd half.
As a side note £5 e/w on Van Persie to be top goal scorer at 33/1 already looks one of my better bets this World Cup.

I think you will find fab still has a lot of footy left in the tank. He's a class player. I hope you are right, but I don't think you are.

Torres couldn't kick a ball downhill at the moment, I can't imagine a player lower in confidence right now.

Spain have been THE dominant team for around 6 or 7 years, this could well signal the beginning of the end of that dominance. Hell of a result for the Oranje.

He hasn't managed to work out how to do that since he went to Chelski. Other than a couple of goals in the CL he's done very very little other than missing an open goal from 3 yards!

Lots of football left in Fabregas - not sure if Chelsea is the right club for him in terms of the tactics employed by Maureen

Only lost 2 goals at the last one.
I think the signs have been their. They have played fantastic footy, but teams are starting to counter it. Counter attack seems to be the current flavour.
Spain looked a mess. No real response after going behind and the keeper culpable twice

I wonder what would have happened if that 3rd goal wasn't allowed - Persil fouling the keeper possibly ?

Am I right in thinking that the holders and home team don't have to qualify for the next World Cup
, so has the lack of competitive games damaged both Spain and Brazil?

Hard to say what would have happened tbf. I'm a great believer in keepers getting to much protection, so nah, no foul.
I think Chile could take points of both teams, going to be an interesting group that one.
No excuse for his touch for the other goal though.

Only the home team qualifies automatically
Spain have to qualify
Oh and Costa with a cheeky headbutt but gets away with it
