Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see the game, but heard about the score.
Did you get to watch the game?
I was shocked. I wasn’t expecting that. :-o
Only saw the goals summarized, but the game was way of a revenge (2010). Spain, who is Spain?? They got kicked.
Chile won as well and I think we will see a little bit more of them!
HUP ORANJE HUP! Looks like they going to Semi finals!

I don’t think anyone was expecting that. I was hoping and pulling for an Orange win, but I thought it’d be a close game decided by a goal or two. It was tied up at the intermission and then Netherlands started scoring and Spain just packed it in. They folded faster than a house of cards. Several goals were down to the goalie making mistakes, but he didn’t get a lot of help from the Spanish midfield or defense.

I wondered why their were so many goals scored. Thanks for the info.
I wanted to watch it, but had to work. :-)
That swan dive header is simply majestic! It’s not in the video, but one of the Spanish defenders kept him on when he got behind his defender. Spain never really got things going in the 2nd and Netherlands had some beautiful passing to set their shots up.
Found a gif of the header where you can see where he was kept on.

Wow, thanks for the clips! I bet the Dutch fans were going nuts on this game. :-D
It was a very satisfying result for me. I can’t stand Spain.
I was working, but kept getting texts from family. I watched the Chile-
Oz game and the goals from the Holland game. They were all good ones.
I was impressed with Chile too.
Let’s hope they can knock out Spain, who go home early as champions, like Italy did in 2010.
Glorious play by oranje!

You have no idea!… :-)
Costa Rica with the 2nd shocking upset of the World Cup! Uruguay will be hard pressed to advance now with games against both England and Italy left on their slate.
Italy had the lead for 30 seconds. Does not bode well.
You needn’t have worried.
Gerrard is too old; it’s all very well to have Pirlo running a team but SG is not in that class.
Uruguay looked like a bunch of 40 something middleweight boxers brought out of retirement for one last fight to pay child maintenance.
Same for Spain - this is not a contest for old men.
Italy & England to meet again in the final?

I don’t think England has what it takes to get there by a long shot. Netherlands looked stronger than expected and they went from Darkhorse to one of the favorites after that performance. Brazil wasn’t sharp as expected despite getting the points, so we’ll have to see how they play their other group games. For me the favorites are Germany, Netherlands, and (conditionally) Brazil.
I hope for Bosnia to advance. They playing Argentnia at the monment, but it doesn’t look like they will get even one point out of the game. We’ll see, they played 20 mins so far.
It would be a great push for Bosnia since they are first timers. :-)
…,too bad.
Aequitas: you watching my friend?
Good luck. Enjoy it.
Looking forward to the USA game tonight.
Caught some very enjoyable matches over the weekend. A few of those guys lived up to the hype. Messi in particular.
And Pirlo.
Germany are the best team so far.
Good luck guys. Hope you enjoy the game. I am not sure if I can stay up for it, as Maddy wakes about 5 hours after it is due to finish.
