Esp vs Ned at Home

It is an awful thing when you already got everything planned out for the day and the next in your head and things change in the last minute because your tummy betrays you. Good news is when it happens at a time that a most awaited World Cup rematch also plays on TV.


5-1 in favor of the Dutch!

It was a great game from the match monsters, Persie & Robben! Although Persie's header move was already remarkable from the first half, the game was relatively at its expected pace before the second started.

It must have been the rain that made the game more interesting and dramatic. On the 53rd minute Robben strikes a lead that led the orange crowd screaming louder. The rest of the goals that caused Spain its 4-point deficit just happened very quick.

It was a bit painful to watch the last Cup's champion watch this before their eyes. The analyst even used the word 'humiliated'. Those close up frames of Casillas made things a lot harder to swallow for those wearing red. (Didn't you just want to hug him?) Nevertheless, the match was a sight to see. Makes me think, "Is this a sweet revenge?" Ha! Too early to make a statement. Never to forget, too, that Spain also lost their first match in 2010 to Switzerland, yet still brought the Cup home.

I admit that it was a a little bit of a shocker but it does tell us that it had been, indeed, four years since the last. Maybe, we will see a lot of changes and unexpected turn of events. Ultimately, football reigns and it should do what it should - bring all these countries together in one place and play just one game.

Can't wait for the next game!
