Good save

 

[patchamalbion]

Holland need to string a few passes together

 

[The Wizard]

Goodness me I wish England were as good as Spain.

 

[Blackadder]

Spain are all over the Dutch at the moment!

put your money on a red card now....Puyol wont survive

Yep! 4 yellows already! (My money is on Van Bommel)

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Bet Van Bommell goes first.

Thats 4 yellows now, absolutely no chance of 22 players being on the pitch at the end

 

[Beach Hut]

Van Persie first to go

But he seems to be bombproof: up until this game he'd committed loads of fouls but only got booked once, for unsporting behaviour.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Agreed, but now we have a proper ref

 

[perseus]

I don't think Holland will be able to keep up the pressurising for the whole game. I expect Spain to dominate the middle of the game. They will need to score, because Holland will come back in the last 20 minutes.

I'm watching Channel 4. Had enough footy for a couple of weeks.

5 yellows now! (Karate Kick by De Jong)

 

[The Wizard]

Wowza, Kung fu.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The Dutch do have some very objectionable players, Robben, van Persie, Sneijder: there's a lot of ego in there.

(Ouch)

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

This is a dirty dirty game.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Wow, Kung fu kick, I bet Alonso goes for revenge, so that will be another in a minute

 

[Blackadder]

De Jong should have walked for that!

 

[perseus]

Another bad foul and yellow card. I am getting fed up with this match.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Now we've had a few early yellows, there is going to be some massive play acting and diving going on. And maybe some imaginary yellow card waving.
