Mighty impressed with the work ethics of Sneijder in this game. Not the kind of performance that I expected from him but a positive surprise.

Brilliant performance from the Dutch. Should've scored more too. Van Gaal's tactics were superb.

Will be interesting how Spain react to this.

Don't mistake me, I thought he was a very good goalkeeper at his peak, just never a truly great one. I believe his career with Madrid and the Spanish national team has flattered him to a significant degree.
Apart from buffon who else has been as good as him over the years. He was voted madrids best player of the season for many years even when the had zidane and co. He is a Madrid and Spanish legend. He should be dropped now though like I said before but lets not rewrite history. He has had as good a career as anyone.

I doubt we will be playing with 3 at the back.
De Gea
Jones, Evans, New CB (Hummels/Martins Indi)​
Rafael, New CM (Strootman), Carrick, Evra/Shaw
Rooney
Januzaj
Van Persie
Mata and Kagawa still available also. Scary good team imo.

this has been absolute MAGIC!

5-1 to the Netherlands, RVP and Robben both with two, this is what football is about, this is what the world cup needs, games like this!

Cracking game of football. Good to see spain get smashed after the dive for their first goal. If we are lucky this result will give either Mata or DDG a chance in the team

Is it goal difference or head to head record that will separate sides who finish level on points?
