Bookings:

Holland 6 Spain 3

I heartily concur.

A Police lady condoning violence? tut tut Edna

 

[tonymgc]

What a yawnfest.

Hansen has just summed it up perfectly. For the sake of football Spain MUST win

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I want to like the Dutch.

But they have offered little so far, and my sweepstake money is dependent on the Spanish, so come the HELL on España.

Pujol and Piqué aren't all that are they, if Holland nick it it's got to be a balls up by these two.

Fouls:

Holland 22 Spain 14

One every three minutes which is why I have not enjoyed the game.

In the last 20 minutes not a single player was booked for a foul although Robben was booked for something. Simulation?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I really don't see Robben as one of the worst offenders of that favourite of crimes, SIMULATION. Sure, he has his moments, but he's no Drogba from what I see.

I think you'll find Drogba learned most of his 'tricks' from Robben.

I agreed that his face is punchable, I didn't say I'd do it

Pundits calling the game enthralling. About time they realised

Spanish triple diving incident. They should have stayed on their feet.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Webb has done OK, not only his he a crap pundit shearer is rather bitter

Spanish triple diving incident.

What a surprise. Fabregas was particularly annoying. Still bitter because he can't get in their starting XI.

Haha, it's funny because it's TRUE

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

What a surprise. Fabregas was particularly annoying. Still bitter because he can't get in their starting XI.

He will hopefully be warming the Barca bench soon

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I imagine Greer is in the Puyol mould. Not a brilliant defender, prone to cock ups, but a leader and 100% commited to the cause

 

[Lady Whistledown]

You ARSE, Fabregas, that was worth £65 to me

 

[perseus]

Robben is hopelessly left-footed like Gerrard is right-footed.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

You absolute TIT, Fabregas!

 

[pasty]

Bloody glad Fabregas didn't score there

Wonder why people always say that. Football wasn't ever designed to be pretty. Fight till the end and get more goals.

Of course it's nice to watch when teams play attractive football but I can't honestly say I find their game that great a lot of the time. Now I shall wait for the attacks...
