Spain vs Netherlands (Group B) Friday 13th June

[Buckaroo]

Torres explaining why he's dog shit.

what's that about?

 

[Fez909]

I honestly think that'll be the best performance we see from NL. They can't top that.

I remember thinking the same about Germany when I saw them in the last World Cup, and although they stayed decent they never replicated the energy they had in the earlier rounds. They looked truly frightening, like Holland tonight.

Nobody who looks that good early on ever wins the cup

 

[Ponyutd]

what's that about?

The fraud who 'signed' at Mandela's funeral.

 

[Buckaroo]

The fraud who 'signed' at Mandela's funeral.

yeah but what's that got to do with Torres explaining why he's dog shit?

 

[Corax]

That was lolsticks of brilliant.

 

[not-bono-ever]

A España no le marcaban cinco goles desde 1963 (2-6 ante Escocia).

No-one has scored 5 goals against Spain since Scotland in 1963.

spain must be shit,Scotland only let in 3 when they last played the dutchies

 

[Badgers]

Nobody who looks that good early on ever wins the cup

Prediction of the tournament

[fakeplasticgirl]

Nobody who looks that good early on ever wins the cup

[Kaka Tim]

[Part 2]

Robben and RVP were just superb - Fantastic goals as well - RVPs first one was one of the best headeed goals ive ever seen. And Ron Vlarr ('roncrete' as they call him in holland) is my new favourite hard as nails defender.
Spain's confidence totally evaporated. I fancy them to be out at the group stage now - chile are pretty handy and will be keen to tear into them.

Fucking wow.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Got home from my friends about half an hour ago. Still can't quite process what we witnessed.

What. The. Fuck.

I think I'm going to have to leave reading this thread until tomorrow

 

[mwgdrwg]

Van Persie's first goal was a thing of beauty...goal of the tournament I bet.

 

[Badgers]

Torres is right up there for fail of the tournament so far..

 

[Kaka Tim]

Torres is right up there for fail of the tournament so far..

yeah - that was quite special. 3 feet from goal. ball at your feet.
you obviously need to take an extra touch to control it rather than just going for the shot that cant possibly miss ....

Should go easy on the lad.
This is a one off for him I expect

 

[Lord Camomile]

@rvp must be having a fun evening

[Lord Camomile]

Suggestion that @rvp thinks he knows football better than his Dutch counterpart

 

[Badgers]

A missing Dutch goal for a start

The plot thickens

 

[quiquaquo]

Senegal - France in 2002, it didn't get any better for France.

 

[JTG]

The plot thickens

 

[Gingerman]

That Torres miss,its's not often you can honestly say "I could have scored that", but that was one of them.

 

[The39thStep]

Beautiful stuff from Torres. Mourinho must be crying into his sherry.

As Mourinho is portugese I am sure he will find solace in Spain's defeat

 

[tommers]

It's been a great start to the world cup.

 

[MrSki]

It's been a great start to the world cup.

Apart from the shite refereeing!
