De Vrij with the header... 3-1 Holland!! The 8 white players on the pitch for the Dutch are playing great!! The 3 blacks have been pretty worthless out there so far.
casillas
And he got a yellow card.

Wow, Casillas with another killing error. Van Persie taps it in for 4-1 Holland.

he's the most overrated goalkeeper right now
a black goalkeeper would be overrated exactly the same way he is: spectacular saves but unreliable and can't do anything on the corner kicks and crosses

Iker Casillas, my goodness! The Dutch are good, all their goals scored by whites today, a team to root for depending on the opponent.
Wow, Robben again!'

I know he's old, but he's got to change something after this belting. Casillas has looked beyond horrible today - I think they go with De Gea in goal for their next match.
The Dutch are still looking dangerous!

Anything who has done anything of note for Netherlands is white.
And yes,De Gea must take charge in my opinion,but knowing Del Bosque,Reina will start.
Also,Koke must start in place of Busquets,one of Torres/Villa in place of Diego Costa and Fabregas must be considered too.Pique needs to be dropped and Raul Albiol must be given a go.
:rip: Iker Casillas.

it's not a surprise to see this from casillas, he did the same in the champions league final
on a cross after a corner he hesitated between coming out of his goal or not, and godin scored easily because of this
real madrid ended up winning thanks to a goal in the last minute of injury time otherwise casillas would have cost the champions league to his club
it was the last game he played with real madrid prior to the world cup
he does this all the time

Very sad. :baby::violin: Balotelli had the option to play for Ghana but I think he found out there are only black women there. That's like being put in a death camp.

Crap like this is exactly why I'll be cheering for England and Uruguay to make it out of the group. ALL credit for Italy's success will be given to Ballotelli, even if he doesn't do sh*t the entire tournament. I like the fact that Italy has no other minorities on the roster besides him, but unlike England, Holland, or Germany (where the main stars are all white guys yet), the media see Ballotelli as the "Italian" star. If Italy advance deep into the knockout stages, he'll be getting a ridiculous amount of hype, and give them a bigger platform to promote him as "The new face of Italy" or some such BS.
Now if he were to get hurt, I'd be all in for Italy to win the World Cup.

I would check the team sheet before cheering on England if I were you. If Welbeck, Raheem Sterling and Sturridge are all playing you might find it a bit difficult to root for them.

A CB partnership of Raul Albiol and Javi Martinez can't be worse than the disaster yesterday,right?
Koke is a must though,also Diego Costa must not start!

yes but i don't see the spanish coach change everything like that
actually, i think that he won't change anything
those changes should have been made a long time ago
koke instead of xavi maybe, because he's getting old and at barcelona he's not like he used to be
spain has many great strikers that could play instead of costa and torres but the coach didn't want to give them a chance
but remember at the 2010 world cup spain lost the first match to switzerland and then they won the competition, and switzerland didn't make it throught the group stages
maybe spain and chile will make it throught without spain changing anything
