Do the 2 "Robins" have 6 goals between them already?

It's so funny watching Robben blow past everyone when he looked like he was 40 in the last WC.

Well, I wasn't keeping in mind with my previous statement that the Dutch's performance in the last group stage game may largely depend on the result of the Chile v. Spain match. I'm not really sure how the numbers could work out, but the Dutch may be able to just take the next game off and still win the group. I don't necessarily think this will be the case though, so I think they'll still be going gung-ho with the goals.

Holland will not make the semifinals. Save this post.

We still saving?

Absolutely. Did you watch the game today? Australia was the better team by a good bit for 70 mins. I'll repeat that. Australia.

Too busy at work today, didn't get a chance to see any of those Netherlands goals.

Del Bosque wants to go home early. Pedro? Seriously? He's god awful. No Cesc blows my mind.

Down 0-1 now. They're in real danger of being finished after two games.

 

[volball625]

Sub Cesc in for Pedro. Cesc centrally. Move Iniesta out left. Flank alba around him. Spain's issues are solved.

 

[volball625]

Pedro smiling because he knows he has no business playing in a game this important for Spain.

You better be careful that your precious Netherlands don't lose to chile and draw Brazil in the round of 16

 

[VOLatile]

That first Chile goal was just brilliant.

They might not even have to lose to Chile to finish second in the group. At the rate Chile are going, they may be even or ahead on damn by the time this game is over.

My precious Netherlands? I'm American of German descent.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Bye bye Spain! Hahaha!

 

[volball625]

Gonna be hilarious to watch Diego Costa flop at Chelsea this year.

 

[JohnMarxism]

[VOLatile]

Chile is a fun team to watch.

Even if he does play, he won't be 100%. USA continues to have a slim chance.

Slim? I feel like our chances are pretty strong, especially without a healthy Ronaldo.

 

[n_huffhines]

No Pepe, no Ronaldo? That significantly improves our chances. Not only are they down their 2 best players, but they'll be morally defeated, whereas we are high from the last game and those missing players will improve our confidence.

 

[n_huffhines]

I'm happy Spain is out, but it sucks Spain/Australia won't mean anything.

The king is dead. Great job Chile, they are fun to watch
