This has been the best game of the tournament so far.

Listening on 5 live now, are all experts idiots? He says everyone in the stadium wants Oz to win. He's not noticed the thousands of Dutch fans not to say the King and Queen of The Netherlands.

Cars hooting away in the streets. Australia played terrific football for much of the game but Holland deserved to cancel out that stupid penalty.

That's very true and they came close to defending their unbeaten record v Netherlands.

Well that could be that Australia have the second most number of travelling fans after the USA, and there were some 18,000 in the stadium. Quite an incredible number when you think about it.

Spain - Chile. Looking forward to that one.

Good effort from the Aussies, but the Dutch have van man and robben up front.

Yes it shouldn't have been close tbh. Maybe one of the finest sporting achievements by an Aussie side in years.

Clarke Carlisle on commentary, prefer listening to Boycott and Vaughan too him.

I actually quite like Carlisle...much more thought-provoking than the inane Lawro.

I hope Martins is all right....

I'm also quite impressed with Rio as in-studio analyst.
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....

Wow you must be on your fourth pint. Chill out, it's just a matter of expression when a commentator says "everyone". I didn't say it so how would you know what kind of one eyed Aussie I am. :stupid

Yes, I think the commentator was implying 'neutrals' when he said everyone.

I notice you have a fondness for the word "idiot" and "stupid" and that at least one of those words is used in everyone of your posts. :P
