GO ORANJE!!!

Mexicans giving their best impression of "You're shit ahhh!"

You don't get Zelic, Kalac or Culina on the SBS streams. :)

Dutch substitute in the 9th minute.
De Jong OFF
Bruno Martin ON

De Jong must be carrying an injury.

Let's hope it doesn't affect the Dutch like the early substitute affected Portugal in their opening game.

Nah. Got a crisp English commentator. At least I can understand what he's saying. :lol:

Pay them their dues, it was the only thing I heard over the vuvus last time.

What was the Dutch keper doing there!!!

The Mexicans seem to be content at shooting from distance. Mut admit, Cillessen hasn't looked too comfortable between the sticks for the Dutch today.

Great first touch by Van Persie. The finish left a lot to be desired. I think he was a tad surprised to be called on-side there.

Jeez, can you imagine the amount of drink breaks that would be needed in Qatar!?

Martin Tyler seems grumpier than usual.

Sheesh. Tempreture in the shade is 38.8 degrees, with the humidity in the high 60s.

Yeah, I can understand the water break, and I can understand why the Dutch look rather lethargic. The Mexicans would be much more used to the conditions than the Dutch.

Google tells me it's 30 in Fortaleza right now?

Eh? I'm just repeating what I've heard on my stream. :lol:

The google "thermometer", probably isn't taking into account the accumulated body head from there being 50,000 people crammed into the stadium.

Either way, the Dutch are struggling big time. They're going to be happy going into the sheds at 0-0.

31C and 50% humidity. Not worthy of a drinks break for FFA.

Apparently Van Gaal organised it.

Might that be a reason for so many empty seats? People opted for the ones in the shade? No idea there but Mexico are definitely more comfortable. The temp in Germany at the moment is perfect for football at around 21. Qatar will need a fire hose to cool the players down, or an ice bath.

So far the Dutch have
Kicked a player in the head
Taken a dive
Kicked a player on the ground.
[-(

Get put pf jail free card there for Mexico. That might come back to haunt the Dutch. They won't get too many opportunities and that was a golden one.

lol imagine if it all ended with that!

Robben was actually hit first according to the replay. Mexico the better side right now but The Netherlands will bring it in the second.

Half Time:

Netherlands: 0
Mexico: 0

I dunno. The Dutch were struggling with the heat the whole half. Robben and Van Persie have had few moments of brilliance, but I think it's going to be an error like we saw just then at the back half that's going to decide this game. A wayward pass, or a slip, or just general fatigue.

One of these teams needs iridium, I'll take them

HOLY FUCK

WHAT A SHOT BY DOS SANTOS!!!!

The Mexicans have been shooting from distance all afternoon!!!!!!! I told you it'd be a piece of individual brillance that'd break this open!!!

Hopefully the Dutch start to play now.

GOOOOLLL Mexico! very nice.

Ochoa!!!!

Now they are starting to play :roll:
