His studs went down Van Persie's calf. RVP did make the most of it but it was a foul.

With that Villa chance before anyone else notices that it was going wide anyway:lol:

God Foster stfu

:-s We see this all the time. He played the advantage and then when the play stopped went back and booked the player.

Only difference in this case Webb was the man who stopped the play instead of letting it go out. Obviously concerned for Villa's safety.

I wanna see Torres :( .

And for gods sake, Iniesta and Xavi need to learn to just shoot!!

puyol fouled!

Jesus christ Robben is quick!

Not a penalty.

Puyol had his arms around him outside the box but Robben kept going. If he had've gone down, maybe he would have got the decision.

Will there be late drama in the 90 or is it going to ET?

Fabregas coming on next. WHERE IS TORRES!

He didn't play advantage though, he waved no foul.

lol @ Robben being booked for Dissent.

The one time Robben gets fouled, the one time he doesn't dive like Greg Louganis

Torres to come on and score the winner in ET. :P

I have seen Busquets twice in the entire second half.

Busquets is still on the pitch? I thought he was subbed off for Navas. Or was that Pedro?

Pedro.

They're all fucking barca players anyway.

Summary of the second half: Fucking boring. Best chance falls to Robben and he fluffs it. Foster and Basheer's drivel is making me want to puncture my eardrum with an ice-pick. The Dutch defence has been good, Spain lack any real endeavour and look like they're playing against Switzerland again.

So off to ET we go. I think it'll be going pens with it 1-1 AET

This SBS commentary is terribly biased, they clearly all want Spain to win. FFS both have made bad tackles but they stay silent when Spain do it, totally had enough of them (Foster especially).

Fact is that Spain's possession game has been shut down very well. So to ET it goes...

This. Is it just me but does it seem like Spain are a but stunned by the occasion tbh.

That was like watching the Roar play Adelaide United at Suncorp. Except half an hour longer and with worse commentary

Holland simply not playing football here. Even though they've had the 2 of the 3 best chances. Spain's silky passing between Ramos, Pique and Iker is tearing them apart, but the anti-football of Holland is ruining the spectacle of the showcase of the world cup. Holland should be forced to play 3 at the back or something.

/foster

I think the occasion may be getting to Spain. They hesitate to just play their normal game because of the magnitude of the event.

That said, Holland have stifled them exceptionally well.

agree but holland played a little better this second half but thats not saying much. Spain when playing against switzerland they at least had a billion shots at goal and looked like they wanted to score...

spain looked rushed on the ball and holland are playing a really good pressing game, the only problem is that they are being reckless.

1-1 on pens at this rate..

Nothing being created at all

Cesc with a 1v1, herotime but it was well saved.

Watching the replay, he rREALLY should have squared that. Villa was free as a bird, and it was always a tough angle, especially on his weaker foot.

Fabregas goes down and Foster and Basheer are both crying for a penalty. The slow motion shows he wasn't even touched and Basheer goes "The super-slow-mo tells a bit of a skewed story sometimes." Fuck off.

Fortunately so are the dutch. I don't think either side are going to score in Extra time. Iniesta has been really off colour tonight.

FFS just hit it Iniesta.

Sounds like I haven't missed much.

Will Iniesta have a fucking shot? He's had three or four chances where he's gone one-on-one and looked for a pass and been stripped of the ball.

Good run from Fabregas. He's looked good since coming on.

Start of the second half of ET Torres will come on I bet.

That's the logical thing to do, but this hasnt' been a logical game. I mean, you just saw two sitters missed and Braafheid subbed on in the WC final when he hasn't played a minute all tournament... :lol:

TORRES!!!

TORRES <-> VILLA. Showtime. Come on Nando, show 'em you should have started.

You know you've had a bad game in this world cup when Torres is replacing you. That being said Villa has been fucking useless.

No better time for Torres to get his first goal of the tournament.
