Unnecessary card for RVP. You're up 3-1. De Vrij makes up for the penalty.

Looked like RVP fouled Casillas, but they were both pretty far from the cross anyway

When was the last time Spain let in 3 goals in a WC or EC game? 1436?

Great game, great goals, but still bad decisions by the ref. This needs to get better.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

tiki taka was exposed during the final of the confederation cup last year, and when Bayern humbled Barca two years ago. No idea why they even came into this WC using it
