2014 FIFA World Cup

[TheGayTent]

There is currently 10 people sitting on bets at 500/1 with Paddy Power that Holland would beat Spain 5-1!

[kingcrawler]

This is incredible, this World Cup's already better than the last one.

[ThomThomDrum]

PP and all the rest of the bookies will be overjoyed at this result

[WS_Jack_III]

He's on about the other kind but this is how i feel right now.

Holland are the ultimate confidence team. When on their game they can beat anyone, I just wish they had played in this way in the last final. Robben is still a class final and I think I often forget that he isn't really that old. I had never heard of Blind jr but he has probably earned himself a big move purely on the basis of that performance.

Spain looked a very tired team, questions will also be asked about playing a keeper who hasn't been playing regularly. However I suspect the result would have been the same whoever was in goal. I know he missed the last euros as well, but I think Puyols leadership was missed.

Spain now have to do what they did years ago and make up for losing the first game by beating Chile. However if goal difference comes in to play (possible if spain beat chile and chile beat Holland) then Spain are in trouble.

Won a nice £55 after sticking a fiver on Holland to win 5-1 straight after they scored their fourth

Re Blind, when I've seen on TV and once live in Amsterdam, he's played in central midfield, never seen him out wide like that before.

pt - not sure how old you are, but if you're old enough, am sure you'll remember his dad - he was class

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Ive got a fiver each way on the Dutch to win the whole thing after me and the Mrs both got them in the sweepstake.

[CHRLY]

Fucking hell that was glorious. Van Persies header was incredible. Robben destroyed Spain's defence. Cacillas had a nightmare as did Spain's centre backs. What a game and what a start to the tournemant. Being on tomorrow 11pm.

He was captain I think

[ThomThomDrum]

The Dutch have been slashed to 12/1

[Jackmypie]

Fucking ITV

Braseeeel Braseeeeel Braaaaaseeeeeeeeel

[kingcrawler]

Australia managing to be even worse than I expected them to be. I'll be disappointed if Chile don't score 5 or 6.

[G-Stud]

FFS Australia.

[dentalplan]

Australia weren't too bad in the end. Should be a tough match for Spain.

[kaosmark2]

When do we reckon the Dutch will bottle it? I'd thought group stage, but I'm now thinking Semis or quarters.

[pink_triangle]

Lallana just referred to as dynamic youth on sky news, he is only 4 years younger than Robben!

[eFestivals]

lol - yep, those words of mine were haunting me during the match.

Still, yet another massive wrong'un by the world's football expert. Perhaps he watches too much football?

[Andre91]

What do we reckon for the England game tonight then!? I'm going for 1-1.

What do we reckon for the England game tonight then!? I'm going for 1-1.

it all depends what team he goes for I'd say.

If he goes for all youngsters it could be anything - it could even possibly outscore last night's Holland, tho also suffer a bad score against them.

But it's Woy and he'll prolly play it safe, and so a draw or a 2-1 win by either side.

[atomised]

2 0 England

[Gnomicide]

First 0-0 of the tournament I reckon.

[Gucci Piggy]

0-0 or 1-0 Italy.
