Mexico should of won 3-0, 2 horrible offsides calls negated two goals
The Croatia-Mexico match should be a good one, and it will probably decide who makes it out of that group. I like Croatia to win it, but Mexico almost automatically makes it out of groups.
Go Dutch!!
Van Persie with a GREAT goal.
1-1 HT after a BEAUTIFUL layout header by Van Persie at the 44' mark. I mean BEAUTIFUL!!!!
What a weird, amazing, beautiful goal all at once by van Persie
Here's a GIF of the Van Persie goal

Good grief. I hate the Dutch, but you have to love that.
He is one of the best one touch finishers in the game right now. He's done it with his head and feet volleying a cross so often
And here we go....the rain is falling now in Salvador, Brazil. Pretty heavy rain and I wouldn't doubt that it continues throughout the match. Another test of the pitch.
I understand why Spain is being forced to wear white (must have a light and dark color, they have a dark red and a black), but I'm not sure why holland isn't being allowed to wear their orange. Plus, I really like their orange!!
Last time they played Spain, they lost wearing the Orange. Superstitions are strong everywhere.
Note of Van Persie header: Officially 17 yards and now holds the record as the furthest header goal in the World Cup since 1970 (earliest time of reliable recorded distance)
