Netherlands V Chile and Australia V Spain - 17:00 KO BST - Group B

[Divinity]

We're playing really poorly. Spain absolutely there for the taking if we can lift our intensity back up to the same as it was in the first two games. Pitch is absolutely disgusting for a World Cup.

[JD nawrat]

Robben is basically Robert Snodgrass with pace

Snoddy is better

[Pangaea]

More like 8 times Chileans bein sissies and diving tbh, they seem to have been infected by the diving disease.

Probably the thing I hate about modern football

Bit of an anti-climatic half that, hope the second is better. Netherlands only need a draw to win the group though, so no point in them going all guns blazing. Which is basically just Robben anyway

[georginho_juventusygr]

Sneijder falls like a bag of potatoes.

[T-IceMan]

Sanchez shud get a red card for his diving and whining, gsus.

[JD nawrat]

Sanchez shud get a red card for his diving and whining, gsus.

Wasn't a dive there. Wasn't a foul either, good tackle from Blind, just took out Sanchez and Sanchez thought he'd been fouled when he obviously hadn't. Just a mix-up really.

Angry Van Gaal

"He's not happy, He's not happy at all" - Commentator obvious right there

[georginho_juventusygr]

Mata time!

[cms186]

Bye David, one of my favourite recent players, doubt i'll get to see him play again :(

[georginho_juventusygr]

Villa's last World Cup? Should have just let him play for 90 minutes.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Oar is injured.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Lens dives. Must have learned a lot from Robben during training.

[JD nawrat]

This game desperately needs a goal. so boring.

[Noob21]

Ref hates Chile

The Gk swung his hands

[JD nawrat]

Book Blind ffs. So many fouls. ABOUT TIME.

[Noob21]

Finally a card for Blind

[JD nawrat]

Why did Sanchez shoot? :confused:

Great skills though.

Also felt he could have gone down. Not sure if he'd have gotten the penalty but there was definitely contact. Actually surprised someone like Sanchez would stay on his feet

"Look at the feet... and the nuts..."

[Noob21]

Lol Alba

[Noob21]

Robben passes to nobody

[georginho_juventusygr]

Was a great dance move by Sánchez.

[JD nawrat]

7 - Daley Blind has committed seven fouls today, all of them against Alexis Sanchez. Grudge.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Valdivia.

[Noob21]

Beauty from Iniesta

[Noob21]

Final Torres WC too probably

[georginho_juventusygr]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Torres still has it!

[JD nawrat]

This game has been absolutely terrible btw. So disappointed. Netherlands not trying to score, Chile been awful going forward. All of it being played in midfield and without Vidal, Chile look very one-dimensional centrally.

[georginho_juventusygr]

A new contract for Torres at Chelsea.

[Noob21]

Is Vidal nursing an injury?

[JD nawrat]

Is Vidal nursing an injury?

Yes he had a knee operation before the WC iirc and he hasn't fully recovered yet. He's not played more than 70 minutes in his first two games iirc and he's probably not going to play at all this game because Chile have qualified.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Bresciano's last World Cup, too, I think.

[Noob21]

Would rather watch Aus-Spain if it wasn't for my Arabic commentator. They tend to overdo it in excitability

[sammayel666]

3 touches in and Bresciano is clearly our most dangerous creative player

[JD nawrat]

An average of one foul every 2 minutes in this game

[Noob21]

Ooooooooooh, nice shot from Memphis

[sean_oc16]

Such an easy second goal for Spain.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Is Xavi available? This must be his last World Cup, too. Bring him on, Del Bosque.

[sean_oc16]

Impact

[Pangaea]

YESSS!! Hoop hooop?

[georginho_juventusygr]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Fer! Just minutes on the field!

[Emersonlfc]

At last, something to watch.

[Noob21]

Goooooooooooal Dutchies

A header above the Chilean dwarfs

[JD nawrat]

Finally a goal. Shame it's for the Netherlands because it murders this tie completely

[aderow]

What a header

[Harryseaess]

That's a great header.

[Astafjevs]

Dutchies are awesome

[IMT]

Why couldn't he do that for Norwich? Oh yeah clueless Chris would never let him play so high up the field

[craigcwwe]

Yeah good goal that. Impact sub!

[Noob21]

Albiol getting an injury in a meaningless game

[JD nawrat]

de Jong v Medel.

That's a future UFC fight
