Awesome goal-- but boy you'd think you'd chest that down and one time it.

That would typically be the sane thing to do I'd think, I don't know how you even get that ball on target let alone be able to get it up and down over the keeper and under the bar.

You know, I wondered when I turned on the stream why both clubs made such odd choices on which jerseys to wear (Neither red for Spain nor Orange for Netherlands), then I saw this on Reddit which is kind of interesting to me.

Thanks for that, I was wondering why the strange colors. Also, isn't blue Holland's third kit or do they not wear black anymore?

Who took the time to work out those rules?

They took some kickbacks from the neutral color lobby.

Holland timing their runs a little better now

I don't know but on Wikipedia it lists the blue kit as their second.

Oh my.

 

[3TrueFans]

Awwwwwww yeah.

Incredible goal and all, but I had no idea Billy Corgan was Dutch.

Yeah, they have orange, white, blue and black kits. Speaking of kits am I the only one who dislikes the bomb pop kit? I thought the 2010 was solid and loved the anniversary uni, too bad we couldn't keep either of those.

Robben almost with the hat trick

Crazy stat I just read: Spain has now allowed more goals in this game than their last 10 @ WC or EURO combined.

And Iker Casillas was about 40 minutes from the all-time scoreless streak when Van Persie scored.

 

[CLONECONES]

Spain is melting down

Spain is melting down

It definitely seems like the Dutch can do no wrong.

 

[CLONECONES]

Wow definitely did not expect the game to turn out like this

 

[bawbie]

Spain is melting down

Spain has melted down

 

[3TrueFans]

Holy ****, what a terrible mistake by Casillas.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Holland at this point has basically put Spain over its knee and commenced paddling.

Who scored that last goal I was letting the dog out.
