If Stekelenburg doesn't win the golden gloves...

you know whats worse than the vuvuzelas??? Fozzie's incessant bias for spain every time he opens his mouth. STFU


I love spain but this is putting me off.

Fuck, what a karate kick. Could've been red.

+1, how is it that Van Persie's booking was a "good call" but Puyol's was "a little over the top"? Fuck off Foster.

De Jong was lucky not to be sent off for that tackle on Alonso, could so very easily have broken his Sternum.

also if the dutch keep playing recklessly, they are going to get a man sent off before this game is over.

Curiously, the dutch are looking better getting forward than Spain.

Pedro seems to always find himself a in a good position but he's a horrible finisher :P

Tight and cagey so far.

Not much space for either side.

Will be surprised if van Bommel stayed on the pitch the full ninety..

Tight half. Both teams cancelling each other out. RVP and Villa have both looked very isolated.

Still a lot of football to be played and the substitutions may play a big part.

Torres and Babel? :P

Surprising isn't it. Villa has been anonymous so far I reckon.

That's an understatement. At least Torres could finish, even if he wasn't running too well with his lack of match fitness. I'd be pulling Pedro for Torres personally.

Nothing much to talk about from the first half. The Dutch have looked the better side going forward, but I still can't see them winning.

It may be my Arsenal bias showing but I think Fabregas could honestly make a difference.

love to see torres and babel on the field :P

hopefully the dutch coach will say a few things to the players - don't get sent off you bastards ;)

nike vs adidas, sorry had to say it ;)

Maybe a substitution for Alonso. He's made one good pass and that's about it.

The shit these 'experts' are talking in the half time Analysis is fucking retarded.

This match blatantly going to end 8v9 or something, with one of the goalies scoring the winning penalty.

I wonder what the odds on Van Persie being sent off are?

That's what I was thinking especially later in the game if it's still level or they are behind he would make a difference.

It's been good defending from the Dutch. Anyone gets the ball in the final third and they close them right down.

Can anyone lese hear that fucking bell that some dickhead keeps ringing coming through with the commentary? It's driving me nuts.

That's a stupidly late tackle from Heitinga and an even more stupidly late booking from Webb. How can you wave play on and then book Heitinga? #-o

Almost glad to hear Fozzies dulcet tones after ned, that had to be the most insufferable shut I've had to listen to

Was actually good refereeing. He tried to let the game flow but then once he saw Villa rolling around on the ground he had to stop play.

I'd like to know how Villa got so hurt he had to roll around on the ground like an idiot and hold the lef Heitinga didn't even touch.

it should have been 1-0 holland!!!

Wooow.

Great save.

Incredible last five minutes

I swear Capdevila didn't touch RVP?

So close for Villa.

Always suss when you only get one quick replay hey.

Must've been his heels cause he didn't grab the shirt or arm or anything up top, as far as I could see.

Bull shit it was good refereeing. The ref WAVED PLAY ON, and THEN when he realised that Villa was still on the ground he orded a stop to the play so he could get treatment...THEN he books Heitinga? How can you book Heitinga for something that you waved play on for? He booked him for something that he already said wasn't a foul! How is that good refereeing?

Spain have looked a lot more threatening with Navas on the pitch.

Yeah, I'm reserving my opinion for now
