I don't have a problem with them. It was the ref's failure to curb them that grated with me.

Pedant :lol:
This would appear to back up the idea of a pre-match decision, as would the very fact that Holland saved this sub to ensure it could be carried out. You could argue, I suppose,...
Yes. I reckon Van Gaal (great manager though he may be) is his own best PR man.
The (few admittedly) papers I've glanced at this morning are all hailing him as a tactical genius because of that...
Makes you wonder about the pre-match comment/boast by Van Gaal that the Dutch can change how they play depending on how the game is going?
Was it maybe a no-lose situation for van Gaal?
Maybe the other keeper agreed beforehand he didn't fancy a shoot-out?
Good saves from Krul, though, and the better team has gone through.
I'll settle for CR winning on penalties.
Robben is incredibly frustrating. He is a fantastic player, so talented yet his focus is on cheating but he is a phenomenal athlete. How good could he be...

I would have...
I backed the red card and even I can't agree.
Wow, Euro. I shudder to think what kind of abuse I'd come in for if I suggested that!
Having thought Belgium were never in serious danger v USA the other night, I can't say I felt the same way...
I reckon if Columbia don't get anything out of the first 15-20 minutes of the second half they will self destruct.
Time to seek out the red card bet.
Ladbrokes kept knocking me back for 40/1 Marcelo to score the next goal. Eventually took 35/1.
Brazil to step up a bit again and see off Columbia.
