Horrendous dive that from van Bommel but van Nistelrooy does as always with a beautiful finish.

He was running at 30kph! Where else could he put his foot? Van der Sar rushed into him, not the other way around.

Nevertheless, hup Oranje!

Ivory Coast desperately unlucky. Dominated the second half, created more chances and had a blatant penalty missed in the first half. Deserved at least a point and a shot at qualifying if Argentina won the Netherlands game.

Netherlands were comfortable. Why does everyone always feel sorry for the African teams?
How were they comfortable exactly? They spent the last 20 minutes pinned in their own half, Van Persie cleared one off the line, and they could have given away a couple of penalties. Ivory Coast didn't create many great scoring chances, but they only needed one goal after all, and they could easily have got it.

I feel sorry for Ivory Coast because they've played two sensational games with an admirable style that would have got them through in any other group, and lost both of them. Easily the most unlucky team so far. Doesn't really have anything to do with them being African, though I'd say if there is a general trend it'd be because African sides tend to play a very entertaining brand of football, so obviously people like watching them. Nobody's going to shed a tear if Angola or Tunisia miss out, but Ghana and IC certainly.
