Van Man penalty after 3 minutes.

Let's not get carried away, the Dutch fans were singing "Holland, Holland, Holland" all night for the WC final when I was in ZAF in 2010.

Apparently he tried to trip one of the Brazil players as he went down - that what my partner has just told me

It wasn't a penalty
It was a red card
Robbed did not deserve a yellow
Three decisions to make so far, all three incorrect

Thanks, must have looked at the wrong shirt colour. Not used to seeing Netherlands in their navy, as yellow is very prominent.
Amazing to have a goal so early though

Big reason I disagree with the 3rd place playoff, RVP could knock in a hat trick here and walk away with the Golden Boot, in a game that doesnt really matter

I'm guessing that because everyone else calls their team Holland, the Dutch have adopted it.

Some of the players refer to the team as Holland. Are they being racist about themselves?

It does, I noticed that.
I guess adult fans have stayed away

Yep, big boxes of tissues on standby for the next Dutch goal.

Could be, free tickets to the kids for a nothing game, good idea. The VIP's could care less.

Last year Brazil drew and lost to us. That should have set the alarm bells ringing for them
