that Holland Spain game should be a good watch. fully expect Chile to hammer Australia, and the loser of the Spain v Holland game could be in serious danger of not qualifying

[RP]

Holland really don't look strong at all - they're gonna have to pull something out of the bag to get a result if Spain play to anything like their capabilities.

 

 

So a Holland win then!

Mexico struggled in qualifying. came 4th in a group with USA, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama and Jamaica. Reckon Cameroon have a good chance of beating them tomorrow.

Cameroon struggled too, only got through because Togo played an ineligible player against them and their loss was reversed.

best thing about australia is their kit.

 

and holland's defence looks way too inexperienced to cope with spain.

Great goal that from van Persie.

 

Rooney is now in the England team hotel car park getting Baines to hit long balls, going "watch, I can do da. Lads, look eh??"

surf, clear pen. Vaar catches Costa's foot with his knee as he slides, and then finally with his foot

no, vlaar doesn;t catch him at all, costa then stands on vlaars sliding leg and that velocity brings costa down.

[BDB]

Well then.

Good job I dont gamble, Im s**** at predictions. Spain will spank them or summat.

[smithdown]

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Dus proving for the 3rd game in a row video tech isn't needed

Replay clearly shows first contact is Vlaar's knee catching the foot and causing it to lift, and then as Costa goes to put the foot back down he's caught again. It was a clear foul, and no Costa didn't leave his foot to be caught

[smithdown]

That Costa business is going to be bad juju for Spain, he wants binning off

[surf]

these are shyte

Possibly because opening a new thread to cover that days games makes more sense than having just one huge one to cover the whole tournament

 

[Cobs]

Cloggies home and hosed here

 

RVP clear foul on the keeper

[Barnesy_10]
