Croatia's manager's reaction at the press conference after the match
He's right - they played really well and were robbed of what would have been a well deserved draw. I'm rooting for them to make it out of the group along Brasil.
Neymar shouldn't have been on the park to score either goal, not a fan of him at all. No doubt he's got talent but the diving, rolling around like he's been shot and his fly wee kicks and elbows do my tits in.
Yeah, he's got talent, but he's way too aware of it. The way he walked towards that penalty...shame the keeper didn't quite save it.
Never be afraid of the obvious because it's all been done before.
AMAZING GAME. I couldn't be happier. I was rooting for the Netherlands last time round when they lost so watching this was so much fun.
Superb goal by Van Persie and then that second goal by Robben, what a run and then keeping his calm dodging everyone and scoring. All the goals were great infact. I couldn't believe what was happening. Super happy right now. Especially after Spain went up from that Costa dive.

Same, they were robbed of a draw or maybe even a win. Hope they progress.

Simply brilliant!
Same here! Robben has been one of my favourite players for ages and he was on fire today, two incredible goals, same for van Persie. Best WC match I've seen in a long time. If they keep it up, I could see the Netherlands as a serious competitor for the title this year.

Robben on his day is outstanding but he needs to cut out all the cuntish behaviour he does from time to time, I've hated him for years but there's no doubt about his ability. Van Persie was just superb, nice to see Holland do well tho. Has there ever been a player who has fallen from grace as much as Torres? Fuck me, he's terrible. Cows arse and banjo come to mind

How he missed that open goal I'll never know.

Saw 3 of the 4 games last night, really great ones too. Finally went to slee at 6 am here. England were good, just their finishing left something to be desired. They deserved a draw if nothing else.
Pirlo's free kick at the end was brilliant as well. I have never seen a ball swerve that much in the air. He's still got it!

What bugs me is that Rooney once again takes all the stick for having a bit of a poor game, but where was captain fantastic sir Gerrard? He played the same position as Pirlo and you saw the difference there, words cannot describe how good of a player Pirlo is, what a guy and what a beard, outstanding. Rooney needs to be played just behind Sturridge, not on the left. Uruguay will be looking to bounce back after their game yesterday and Costa Rica could cause us problems as well. I got USA in the sweep at work, at least I'll have a better chance than England

Stevie has a habbit of going missing when it matters.
Pirlo is just a genius! His recent autobiography is well worth reading if you're on the lookout for a new book.
