Never knew Wijnaldum could play this deep. I could've sworn he only played attacking role for psv.

Plays with Stijn Schaars, sometimes Hendrix and previously Strootman, in the main so he plays much further forward yeah.

Decent player

0-0 Odds On.

Traded out for well over £3,500 profit after commission.

What the ****, I only got 6/1 odds at Ladbrokes about 20mins. Where did you get that odds?

I always bet before kick off. You could get 10/1 at Betfair.

Too bad I didn't cover 0-0 this time. But yeah I usually cover correct score 0-0 before the match (unless I really think we'll get goals off the bat), then just wait as long as I can to start betting on the actual no. of goals I think will occur when the odds have gone up.

Still think we'll get 1-0 Holland, if not they'll get it in ET.

Yeah always caught my eye the few times I watched psv.

Also, what is it with Dutch players going away with their first names and using random nicknames?

How's does rolando maximiliano becomes Bruno? And that's not even the worst of it.

That'll be the Cape Verde and Suriname players who often have Portuguese origin names and do the typical Brazilian nickname thing. No player with a Dutch surname does that

Sneijder showing more and more quality as this tournament progresses. He's not been totally ruined by playing such low quality football for so long it seems, but helluva rusty.

Marco van ginkle does it. Real first name is actually Wulfert Cornelius.

Even van Basten's real first name wasn't Marco, though not really major difference between Marcel and Marco.

Yes, this game is boring.
Come on Hollanddd :unimpressed:
Costa Rica on pens plz!

Yer he's had an average at best tournament but he's starting to come into it more and more
Brilliant freekick, very unlucky.
Jesus Navas wasn't in the world cup lol

Not much on the Dutch bench that can change this game, might go with Huntelaar and play a bit further up the pitch
