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

    Class goal

    Scoring?

    I can't remember a better header than that? (Rufus aside).

    Jesus wept, straight into the all time list.

    Paul Davis v us at Highbury wasn't bad.....

    Shaun Newton's winner against Tranmere. I think it was his first goal for us.

    Xavi has been brilliant. Just watch his movement off the ball, always finding space to receive it, then pass it on and move again. Superb.

    Never a penalty - although he had me fooled in real time. Great cross for Van Persie's goal and I think the Dutch have defended fairly well.
  • Now that was a penalty.

    ...on second thoughts seeing it again...no it wasn't...doh!

  • Another fantastic goal!

    There was a similarity about both of those (excellent) goals.
  • Jeez he went down in stages there.

    I suspect RVP's will be replayed a little bit longer.

    Don't letl Robben turn on to his only foot.

    Exactly Seth. Almost identic in the way the ball over the top and around the defence from Blind has caught Spain out. Great composure from Robben.

    On another note, Busquets needs to man up. Calls himself a defensive midfielder and dives or falls over every time someone breathes on him. Can you imagine Roy Keane doing that?!

    He would have fooked off home by now.

    Some strike from van Persie, but he should have been given offside there.

    Robben - 30, and in my mind, truly running this game for the Dutch at the moment. Class.

    RVP was a bit of an idiot then for the yellow, but apart from that he's also been incredible.

    What will FIFA do about the "head butt" from Costa?

    Deserved the yellow. Had a go and then a second, but really pisses me off the way the Spaniard watches for the 2nd tackle, knows it's coming, starts to lean right & then throws himself down as soon as RvP gets near.

    I'm guessing, not much.

    Spain lost a group game at the last one and still went onto win it. I wouldn't write them off just yet. Van Gaal has got it spot on here tonight.
  • What a game!

    What happens when you pick a keeper who has only played 2 league games all season! Spain could be heading out very quickly!

    That Van Persie shouldn't even be on the pitch to score, should've been sent off for that foul and deliberate hand ball.....

    ; ) Still angry about that goal...

    Wow. RVP for the Golden Boot anyone?

    Casillas is nowhere near the keeper he used to be. Three of the goals his fault. Think back to Atletico's goal the other week too. Shocking.
  • Blimey!

    Spain, if you were playing Championship Manager right now, right this game off. Regroup and prepare for the next game. It's not as if you can restart the game and hope for a better result.
  • Spain are being destroyed.
  • Even more blimey!
