Yeah! Netherlands doing me a favor!
Now just end with a tie, don't care if it ends 1-1. More goals, more fun.

Wow, ESPN halftime commentary is kinda disgusting. It's like they're blatantly rooting for Spain. How can they complain about Brazil's penalty yesterday and be okay with this one? Wow.

The refs are really good this World Cup... Only today we already had 4 big mistakes. That makes me imagine how FIFA choose the refs.

The penalty was a fucking joke, again.

Who are also in their group besides NL?

Chili and Australia

In that case there's no way they're not going through

Don't underestimate Chili, they are a very, very solid team. If Spain doesn't win this one they might have a hard time.


Agreed. For what it is worth Chile are ranked 12th (could be 13th or 14th, can't be bothered to look it up). Any top 20 team is due respect.

if you have a van persie you always have a chance i guess,

i don't think that was a pen and to be honest i think cards are given out all to easy for so called foul play but the difference with a penalty like costa is that the defender doesn't stay on his feet goes sliding through,always gives the ref the opportunity with any contact

last nights pen for fred was real soft



  

I smell like the dark forest of Dwemereth in the morning mist                                                   fanboy til i'm bankrupt

It is hard to tell if they touched. Looking at it from all angles I'm still not sure. He slid right at him, it seemed like they touched, and Costa fell. Makes sense to give a penalty

Awesome goal.



The penalty is a bit controversial, as he was clearly searching for it, but then again - the defender did make contact and move his back leg, which is a faul. He managed to show it well to the ref, so all in all - I think it was a good call. The Dutch didn't even complain, which says a lot.

Van Persie... Just wow.

I predicted 2:2, so one more half like that and I'll feel proud of myself ;)

At least Costa put on a show, yesterday it was just a player dropping from exhaustion. Don't forget, people, Costa is Brazilian. Anyway, we are up to four pieces of proof for how necessary video challenges are and this is only the third game in the tournament.

On the bright side, we still haven't witnessed a snorefest. The first match day of the group stage is infamous for those.

@Englishmen: Where are your complaints regarding the player from Cameroon who threw his arm against the neck/face area of a Mexican? He didn't see a red card for that. I suppose it's a non-issue, because the player in question is a no-name and not Neymar.


During that game I was playing Watch Dogs, getting excited about Destiny and doing the washing.

Do you have a video or gif?

Who are you supporting in this World Cup, pezus?
