Spain lost their first World Cup game vs. Switzerland last time as well, not by that score though.
Reminds me of when Netherlands whipped Italy in the Euro 2008 but still only went to the semifinals.
LOL!
Ok, I'll slink away without my keekball comments...
(yeah, yeah ... great sport, non-stop action, super athletes, zzzzz...)
A beautiful game. I was amazed at the degree to which Spain collapsed. Going into this game many thought that Spain was the best team in the world, a few even called it the best team in history. Amazing match, felt sorry for the Spain fans. Wish Netherlands was a little less thuggish, they are good players but love to score a cheap shot, the yellow cards were justified.
The bar here was full with over a hundred of people all having an amazing time. Suited professionals on their lunch breaks and dreadlocked hippies, working class whites and immigrants from India/Africa/Mexico. Everyone had a blast, something about this sport just brings people together. This is going to be a good tournament.
5-1 with 11 shots on goal and only 41% possession.
Nice to see Holland playing well ,like they used to.
Hockey: same game only a smaller pitch and less players.
I’m not a fan of either but, I’d rather fall asleep to a hockey game than a Futbal match.
Let's see how Spain reacts to this defeat. Their next game will be very telling.
Great game to watch. Far, far better than the opening game.
Silly question, but is the World Cup tournament single elimination? If Germany beats Portugal and the US beats Ghana, does the US have to play Portugal? Or do we go straight to playing Germany?
If there is a caucus would you please add me. Thanks.
I’d rather watch paint dry! Give me a 400 lb. defensive player smashing into a quarterback any day!
Are they running the games on tape delay? I’d like to see this one. I caught the end of the Chile Australia game. The socceroos put up a good fight. Their quick-strike offense had a lot of chances.
