Would expect a better Holland after the break once Van Gaal has got into them, the Aussies have done a great job though, fair play to them i thought they would be pure cannon fodder in this group.
That's because they are Australian. Having lived there for a few years you come to realise just how much sport is ingrained in their culture. Even my wife (who is an Aussie) is mad into sport and reckons from a very young age they are taught the Aussie way of being mega competitive. Sometimes that mentality goes a long way.You have to hand it to Australia, they do remarkably well considering their supposed status in world football. This is a team with a very shallow squad but their first XI is very well organised.
Never mind them.... I'm the poor bastard working all bloody night for all these games.
The pub's been open since Thursday morning & doesn't close till pretty much July.
And Fabregas instead of Costa.Koke should really be starting ahead of Alonso.
Very weird looking at Spain without Xavi.
