That pace, skill and composure for Robben's goal. Ridiculous. The guy has it all except for a right foot.

 

[Mr Cola]

Bring on Chile Australia, man this is a great night for football

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Can't wait for Vidal to single-handedly destroy Spain.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Rio actually asking a good question there.

Edit: DP but whatevs

 

[Wilbur]

drop Xavi, Casillas, Costa, Torres, etc. and this team will probably be fine.

but I enjoyed this.

That's the problem with Costa. He's brilliant, but does not suit this Spain side. Made the wrong decision.

 

[elseanio]

Torres

 

[Salvadora]

Wenger : "Spain wasn't hungry enough. They didn't come with proper mental strength to defend their title. They didn't come at all"

ether.

 

[Meier]

Not even the staunchest Dutch supporter could have predicted that big of a win. Worst defeat in history by a reigning champion. Unreal.

 

[Clegg]

Can't wait for Vidal to single-handedly destroy Spain.

Get Sanchez running at Ramos and you're laughing.

 

[omgkitty]

ether.

I wish I could watch his stuff. He has 0 problems just shitting on people, and it's great. He also actually knows what he's talking about.

 

[Wilbur]

Can't wait for Vidal to single-handedly destroy Spain.

Got a feeling Chile will batter Spain but lose 1-0, ala Germany

Need a big win tonight.

 

[Salvadora]

I wish I could watch his stuff. He has 0 problems just shitting on people, and it's great. He also actually knows what he's talking about.

I was under the impression that he just sat there and acted diplomatically, offering little insight.

But any man who shits on Busquets is a man of the people.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Can't wait for Cahill to single-handedly destroy Chile.

 

[Yurt]

Can't wait for Vidal to single-handedly destroy Spain.

1-I love you
2-Vidal is going to finish the first half with one leg
3-I love you

 

[Mr Cola]

So people in here seem quite up on Chile. Must admit I know nothing about them save Vidal, are they genuine contenders? Or is it just because of how dire spain were?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Del Bosque really should try DDG, he's a good keeper even with as much as I hate United fools giving him credit for making saves double as hard as they are, by saving with his feet, but he's clearly way better than fucking Casillas... Think even Reina is.

So people in here seem quite up on Chile. Must admit I know nothing about them save Vidal, are they genuine contenders? Or is it just because of how dire spain were?

They are not a bad side at all... But eh, I could easily see Spain beating them comfortably.

 

[Scum]

Hey scum, you almost had van gaal. How do you feel?

Spoiler

lol

Fucking terrible about it! But I get to see him in the EPL striking fear into Rooney.

 

[Xpike]

football is alive
lol casillas

 

[FootballFan]

Sanchez is an animal in the free role. He isnt restricted to the wing and it makes him fantastic.

If Vidal is fit and Sanchez continues to be on fire. Chile are a team that could reach quarters I'd say. No contenders though, that's dreaming.lol

Switzerland are the true underdog dark horses.

 

[Salvadora]

Thing is, the choice of Casillas as keeper wasn't made on the basis of quality so it's unlikely that he will be dropped for a lack of it.

At least, not yet.

Exactly.

 

[johnthequad]

Wenger should look at the Dutch right back. He had a solid game.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Thing is, the choice of Casillas as keeper wasn't made on the basis of quality so it's unlikely that he will be dropped for a lack of it.

At least, not yet.

Exactly, he's a cancer for every team he plays on.

Hopefully we can sell it this summer...

 

[Peco]

Van Persie and Robben were majestic tonight.

 

[Meier]

Chile are a team that could reach quarters I'd say. No contenders though, that's dreaming.lol

Chile would have to beat Brazil in all likelihood to reach the quarters. That seems pretty unlikely. I still think Spain will finish the group 2nd.

 

[Jarnet87]

Lewis van Ghaelon, I await your transformation of United.

 

[Mr Cola]

Lewis van Ghaelon, I await your transformation of United.

So many tears

He out tacticked the fuck out of Spain

yes its a word

 

[FootballFan]

Ohhhh that's right.

Nevermind lol.

Mexico will come first in the group. #believe

 

[Elchele]

I felt asleep in HT. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

1-I love you
2-Vidal is going to finish the first half with one leg
3-I love you

<3

Sampaoli (their coach) was amazing during his time at Universidad de Chile. Attacking football, etc. They have a shot in qualifying for the next round for sure

 

[Broder Salsa]

I felt asleep in HT. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED

The Casillas, Pique and Ramos show started. It was brilliant... Like a viral advertisement for a the three stooges reboot.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Louis van Gaal: 'It could well be that we'll use an entirely different system against Australia'

 

[Pranay]

Thing is, the choice of Casillas as keeper wasn't made on the basis of quality so it's unlikely that he will be dropped for a lack of it.

At least, not yet.

3 goals conceded last 2 major tournament.

He is not at his best but some of comments are hilariously bad.

 

[Scum]

Spain v Brazil in the second round pls.

 

[Scum]

I felt asleep in HT. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED

Football rose from the grave, elsk. IT'S ALIVE!

 

[anthonyOA]

Costa is probably really thinking hard about that decision to join up with Spain instead of Brasil right about now.

They don't suit his style of play at all.

Iniesta was great for the first 30mins but I guess that will be forgotten lol

Oh and the first goal from Van P was insane. will be repeated for years in highlight reels.

 

[Pranay]

Exactly, he's a cancer for every team he plays on.

Hopefully we can sell it this summer...

He has served a lot for our club. Would keep him. Cancer ? Has been real Madrid best player for many seasons especially from 02 to 08

 

[Smeghead]

Van Gaal making use of dat Prandelli system.

Should send him a box of marzipan biscotti.

 

[Barzul]

I imagine Chile vs Australia is poised to be a huge letdown after a game like that.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Right then, give us De Vrij (or Vlaar)

Both were great tonight, really happy for the Netherlands.

DutchGAF: my grandmothers last name is Liebenberg, I'm celebrating this win with you!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

So is that the same Vlaar that plays for Villa?

Wes pls, what happened?

 

[Scum]

The Casillas, Pique and Ramos show started. It was brilliant... Like a viral advertisement for a the three stooges reboot.

Loool

 

[jtb]

the thing about that rout is that it overshadows that Spain's penalty was soft, to put it generously. also missed Costa headbutt. three games, three horrific referee performances. luckily, only influenced one result so far.

 

[cremino]

Del Bosque should get his fair share of the blame for this defeat

 

[Barzul]

So is that the same Vlaar that plays for Villa?

Wes pls, what happened?

It is actually. Costa undone by a Villa defender.

Edit: Don't ban me Wes.

 

[Wilbur]

I can't believe we only get these every four years.

 

[Wes]

So is that the same Vlaar that plays for Villa?

Wes pls, what happened?

He's normally surrounded by shit

 

[Clegg]

Oh baby

 

[Salvadora]

3 goals conceded last 2 major tournament.

He is not at his best but some of comments are hilariously bad.

Right, a couple of things on that.

1. Last major tournament was 2 years ago.
2. Spain have massively declined.
3. De Gea has become one of the best keepers in the world.
4. Casillas has been shit.

Aging players in midfield and the defence being woeful has resulted in more chances for opposition teams, sure, but there is absolutely no quantifiable evidence to suggest that Casillas should be anywhere near the starting line-up.

Politics is a factor in all national teams, but this is really wrong.
