Is it me or does the Spanish national anthem sound a bit like the Blackadder theme?

Arguably the game of the group stages this one.

Why is neither team wearing their normal colours

Schnieder might live to regret that but the Dutch are doing alright here.

I'm not joking here, but Mark Lawrenson has been doing my head in since about 90 seconds in.

I was wondering that too.

As he is Brazilian but chose to play for Spain due to having Spanish citizenship, basically. Both Spain and Brazil wanted him to play for them, and he did play for Brazil twice before deciding to play for Spain, so naturally Brazilian fans are bitter.

Thanks. I thought it may have been something to do with the last final.

Now that was a penalty.

I thought it was too initially, but after the replays I'm convinced Costa dived.

Not to sure about that, Costa put his foot onto the Dutch player's legs! whilst he was sliding.

In slow motion, it looks like the spaniard should have got sent off for stamping.

And, we complain about refs

You wouldn't see church doing that on a cold, Tuesday night at Brentford.

Class goal

Absolutely superb. Brilliant pass & what a header. Casillas was waiting for that to come down and a shot to come in. Wonderful from van Persie!
