Excellent punditry from the four on the BBC, puts ITV to shame - the studio looks better too.
Pathetic Del Bosque and Iker Casillas , I dont remember a performance that bad from a GK in any of the games I have seen in the past 20 years , what happened to you Iker ? 
Anyway , we are out of the World Cup Tonight , no matter what , with that Goal Average , you cant go through for sure , Netherlands will win Australie , Chile too , and last Game Netherlands already qualified will lose vs Chile for sure . Life Goes on though but im sad. The 1st half could have been 2-0 for us , if fecking Silva scored that goal , Instead it went 1-1 because of Casillas ...anyway , what a poor performance...I was not expecting that for sure.

This was glorious. Thanks Van Gaal!
Haha, your not wrong!
Just looked at the result again
It's been a cracking World Cup so far, really enjoying the games
You think he is?
Costa should of been sent of, he did stuck the nut on , but OMG the Dutch player was dreadful fell like he had been shot
If LVG can lead this feck awful Dutch side to a win over Spain can he make Fellani look like a footballer?
Anyone else enjoying Henry on the BBC? The guy just oozes French coolness.
I cannot wait for next season. We've got to sign Robben though. I'm sure Louis can persuade him!
I think, but I'm not sure.
Comparing Moyes to LvG is like having intercourse with Susan Boyle with your eyes closed thinking of Jennifer Lopez.
Interesting discussion stopped by Shearer
BBC vastly superior than ITV, not hard though
I know he is a legend with Madrid and Spain, that is not in dispute. Off the top of my head, in the 20 years I've been watching the game I would rank Schmeichel, Khan and Buffon as truly great goalkeepers. I never put Casillas in that category despite him having a comparable or better career.
I view him in a similar light to Raul; both club legends at Madrid but transfer them to another club and I think neither would've risen to the level their club careers suggest they belong.

True, did you noticed the crack on the window behind Cannavaro?
I wonder what David Moyes is thinking if he was watching tonight.
What the?!
If I were the dutch, I would lose on purpose to Chile.
(if chile defeats Australia)

Tiki Taka isn't dead, you will see his other face with us under Van Gaal.
Been putting scorecast bets on the first two games. Came to put one on this game and realised I had no idea what was going to happen.
Glad I didn't now!

Great match. Van Gaal
I'm sorry, but I really like Theiry Henry.
Vavavooooom
Me too. He's a great pundit.
I'm not a man of statistics, although I will have a go working out some percentanges and error bars later, but I reckon;
Spain have a 75% of going out at the group stage now,
and the Netherlands have a 80% chance of going through.

This is why footbal is such a great game. RvP and Robben were majestic. Had Silva scored from that chance when the result was still 1:0 the final outcome could have been the reverse.
Still, that's only one game. Can see Holland leaving in the next round and Spain reaching the final once again.
That loss could be a good thing for Spain as it will motivate them to show that they are still the best. They were pretty poor in the second half though, didn't look fit enough. Maybe it's time for Casillas and Xavi to give way to younger players, e.g. DDG and Koke.

I was planning on watching some pron after this game. Don't need to now.
That volley by Robben was breath taking. He is 30 but he ran Ramos absolutely ragged with speed.Henry and Rio have been good tbf. Good work BBC.
Lawro is still shite though.

Don't know why as I have never liked Holland that much but this is one of the best and most enjoyable games I've ever seen. Probably got something to do with the LVG-factor but anyway.
van Gaal = best manager
Yesssss positive tactics next season lads!!!
It looked like a bullet hole
