Dutch won't win the WC. They're not even close to being the best team in the WC.

Proof that soccer goalies are pointless. When they throw out stats like shots and shots on goal. WTF. So kick ball in general direction of net ..

There is going to be a huge over-reaction after this game. But, Dutch didn't scored a single goal against above average defense today. Every goal came off poor defense and worse goal-keeping.

Spain has issues - I think ppl knew that before they came into the WC. Of course, no one thought it was going to be this bad - but it's 1 game.

yeah I'm seeing people hanging all over Netherlands' nuts right now. I'm not jumping on that bandwagon but I do come away impressed.

As for Spain, way to dig yourselves a hole the size of the grand canyon. Chile has the speed to give them a headache but I dont know if they have the precision passing that Netherlands displayed today. Chile MUST score A LOT vs Australia later today.

From whom ... their Fans, the Media, WC Fans in general, or All-of -the-Above ???

Maybe true, and you make a valid point. That aside, their side will probably now need 2 wins,
and a little luck (IMO), just to advance ... I don't know if a win, and a tie will advance them.
Stranger things have happened ...

Proof that centers are pointless: 0 points, 0 rebounds in multiple playoff games by a special Center on the Pacers.
