From reddit regarding the kits;
For each match, the team listed first (on FIFA's website) is designated as the home side.

• Since this match is listed as "Spain v Netherlands", Spain receives first choice of which kit to wear.

• Spain selects all-red.

• Since Holland's Orange clashes with red, Holland must switch to blue.

• But according to the regulations, we now have a case of dark colored kit v dark colored kit.

• With Spain's alternate kit being all-black, FIFA inform Spain and their kit manufacturer (Adidas) that a light colored kit needs to be submitted to comply with FIFA regulations.

• All-white is chosen and will be worn against Holland.

• This means Holland can switch to orange right? Wrong. Orange is deemed to be Holland's light colored kit, so white v orange would mean light kit v light kit.

• For this match, Spain will wear white and Holland will dress in blue.

Red clashes with orange? So fire is ugly?

You'd think they'd make sure at least one team was wearing their first kit, could have asked Holland to get a white kit.
 
Spain might end up missing Navas, lack of pace in their attack.

What a bizarre process.
 
Thought De Guzman was shaping up to hit that first time.

And now a penalty to Spain. Bad challenge.
 
What a joke. Will people whine about a conspiracy now?
 
Dive again? Impossible!

Costa is known for this though isn't he?


But it can't possibly be the third game of the WC and the third one where a massive ref cock up favors one team.
