I already love this World Cup just because of the madness around refs, goals galore, a lot of standard situation goals and the renaissance of the 3 central defender defense.

Australia unlucky team of the tournament so far. I hope they win against Spain. Too bad Cahill is suspended though.

Nice game by Netherlands with way better control over midfield in the second half. Sneijder improved, that Memphis guy was also a good replacement. Van Persie's goal was class, third goal of NL quite lucky. Important three points for Robben & Van Gaal's quest. 
Seems like I can't really take dutch people serious on this board when it comes to football, or anything? 
Also, this was not a penalty in my opinion, since the distance was way too short fyi.
Bit sorry for Australia, who put a surprisingly strong performance and who made this a very entertaining match.
@Rin: Agreed, very good games so far. I think the climate increases the factor of "mistakes" in comparison to normal matches, and this only makes it more interesting & entertaining to watch.

Well, that sucked.
Second half was a bit better. Penalty was doubtful, Janmaat couldn't really help it, and ''ball went to the hand'' not the opposite. But okay.
Referee wasn't bad, but I don't like how strict he was. Sometimes you just have to let the game play on, instead of whistling for light fouls.
Good thing is that we're more the underdog now. We're better as underdogs anyway, we rarely do something when we're expected to do great.
(2008: No huge expectations, we slaughter the 2 WC finalists. We go out by Russia.
2010: Never really a big contender, not after the group either, still final
2012: Expectations, WC finalist after all. Massively failing)

I think it was just about a penalty, how do you decide is the problem. The hand was caught dangling away from the body and prevented a cross. |

Quality match by him. Best man next to Robben on the pitch.

They always play with a 3 man defense?
Since years they are doing it, even at the last World Cup they played like that.

Besides, the last World Cup, if anything, was fixed. But dope would have been useful - they pressed constantly, umpteen metres above sea level.

There has been lots of come backs from 0 - 1 to 2 - 1 already in WC, don't discount them yet.

I don't believe they have the mental power to do so. They've had 7 goals in a row for 90 minutes popped up in their net by now. |
