:00:33. > :00:40.Hello and welcome to the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador for a replay of the
:00:41. > :00:45.group clash between Spain and the Netherlands. It is a rematch of the
:00:46. > :00:49.2010 World Cup final which Spain won thanks to the extra time goal from
:00:50. > :00:56.Andreas Iniesta. Your commentators are Mark Lawrenson and Steve Wilson.
:00:57. > :01:01.The biggest issue for del Bosque was who do play as a centre forward. Or
:01:02. > :01:05.whether to play with a centre forward. They do, and I should know
:01:06. > :01:11.by now, it is Diego Costa, the Brazilian born striker, capped twice
:01:12. > :01:14.in friendlies by Brazil before choosing to switch to Spain, a
:01:15. > :01:21.decision that went down very badly here. The starting 11 have an
:01:22. > :01:26.average of 77 caps each, and most of them have a World Cup winners medal
:01:27. > :01:33.at home. And that is before you begin talking about European
:01:34. > :01:34.Championships. We have a Italian referee for this all European affair
:01:35. > :01:44.on South American soil. Championships. We have a Italian
:01:45. > :01:52.referee for this all Nicola Ritt solely -- Rizzoli is the referee
:01:53. > :01:53.tonight. The Dutch still have the young,
:01:54. > :01:59.solely -- Rizzoli is the referee tonight. The Dutch still have Arjen
:02:00. > :02:03.Robben, Sneijder, but an inexperienced backline led by Aston
:02:04. > :02:07.Villa's Ron Vlaar. Jonathan De Guzman was passed fit after a
:02:08. > :02:12.hamstring injury, and he starts, and Wesley Schneider, one of the stars
:02:13. > :02:16.of the last World Cup when he scored five goals, the joint top scorer in
:02:17. > :02:24.the competition, wins his 100th cap tonight. It is basically five at the
:02:25. > :02:30.back, and Yam Matt and Blind will play wingback. -- Janmaat. What do
:02:31. > :02:36.you think, Mark Lawrenson? You went through the front three, and Van
:02:37. > :02:39.Persie and Arjen Robben need plenty of the ball. They do lend you the
:02:40. > :02:45.ball, so it should be a fascinating game. It is only the fourth time in
:02:46. > :02:50.World Cup history that the previous tournament's two finalists have met
:02:51. > :02:56.again, and on those three previous occasions, the country which won the
:02:57. > :03:03.World Cup failed to win the rematch. So, Spain all in white, and Holland
:03:04. > :03:13.all in blue, and to that extent, unfamiliar. Not too many unfamiliar
:03:14. > :03:20.faces down there. It's about 80 degrees, 27 degrees, quite humid, it
:03:21. > :03:24.will probably reign at some point as it generally does on the north-east
:03:25. > :03:29.coast of Brazil. This is a winter World Cup, and group B is underway
:03:30. > :03:44.with the world champions in possession. Some say tiki-taka is a
:03:45. > :03:48.static, some say it is anaesthetic. There is an early foul on Diego
:03:49. > :03:52.Costa, the man who might be the catalyst for change in the Spanish
:03:53. > :04:00.system. Ron Vlaar saying welcome to the World Cup. Diego Costa didn't
:04:01. > :04:04.get a noticeably bad over nation from the Brazilian supporters, of
:04:05. > :04:10.whom there are obviously many in the stadium -- over nation. He got away
:04:11. > :04:17.with it, didn't he? Xavi finding Xabi Alonso.
:04:18. > :04:32.Sergio Ramos. Still trying to find his range of passing. Cillessen in
:04:33. > :04:34.goal. They used by different goalkeepers in qualifying, and this
:04:35. > :04:38.one played only one of their qualifying matches.
:04:39. > :04:49.Is there a reason why they have five goalkeepers?
:04:50. > :05:02.He did not know which was the best, I reckon.
:05:03. > :05:04.Stekelenburg, the veteran of the last World Cup.
:05:05. > :05:26.They can switch it, the Netherlands, play with four comfortably
:05:27. > :05:32.They might in other matches but against the Spanish, Louis van
:05:33. > :06:11.Here he is, the old man, Vicente del Bosque.
:06:12. > :06:13.He was asked if they were a team of veterans.
:06:14. > :06:31.They might just retain the title they won against the Dutch.
:06:32. > :06:34.Of course, he knows many of the Spanish team
:06:35. > :06:59.Not quite as well as del Bosque, but almost.
:07:00. > :07:01.Diego Costa only lasted nine minutes of the Champions League
:07:02. > :07:04.He should never have started of course, with hindsight.
:07:05. > :07:07.Lots of big gaps, spaces for the likes of Alonso to pick out
:07:08. > :07:21.Cillessen is 25, so not wet behind the ears.
:07:22. > :07:27.Cesc Fabregas is among the substitutes today.
:07:28. > :07:50.He will be a team-mate for Azpilicueta next season.
:07:51. > :07:53.Of all people, he seriously does not give a damn.
:07:54. > :08:00.Big decision to switch 12 months out of the World Cup.
:08:01. > :08:54.You would be peeved if you are in a Spanish centre back position
:08:55. > :09:16.The Dutch had a great record in qualifying.
:09:17. > :09:18.The only failed to win one of the ten qualifiers
:09:19. > :09:25.It is because they used five goalkeepers!
:09:26. > :09:28.I think Ireland is the last team to beat the Netherlands in a World Cup
:09:29. > :09:54.Casillas is not first choice at his club in La Liga
:09:55. > :10:25.His 30th match in European championship and World Cup finals.
:10:26. > :10:28.Guzman under pressure immediately from Xabi Alonso,
:10:29. > :10:32.illustrating what the white shirts no, as soon as they get the ball,
:10:33. > :10:59.It did not really trouble the goalkeeper.
:11:00. > :11:01.It was fantastic for Casillas to save it.
:11:02. > :11:22.Either side of him and they would have been 1-0 up.
:11:23. > :11:25.The thing is with playing against the Spanish, you never know
:11:26. > :12:09.Slightly over hit by Xabi Alonso but it has hit a Dutch boot
:12:10. > :12:25.Great ball and such an easy save in the end for Casillas.
:12:26. > :13:05.Xabi Alonso is a fantastic player and surrounded
:13:06. > :13:26.Fantastic vision and range and quality of passing, Alonso.
:13:27. > :13:28.He makes you have the ball, doesn't he?
:13:29. > :14:14.The game has just started to quicken up a little bit.
:14:15. > :14:17.Spain have been based in a part of a country that is considerably
:14:18. > :14:49.The Dutch finished off their preparations in Rio.
:14:50. > :15:04.David Silva just starting to find a little bit of space in between.
:15:05. > :15:50.Ostensibly a back three rather than five for Holland.
:15:51. > :15:56.Diego Costa tried to beat Ron Vlaar, who did ever so well.
:15:57. > :16:29.Diego Costa just hesitated for a split second.
:16:30. > :17:10.Particularly difficult if you are Australian, the fourth team in it.
:17:11. > :17:14.A certain amount of negativity about the Dutch media.
:17:15. > :17:17.They are worried they will not get out of this group.
:17:18. > :17:26.Don't forget the Netherlands lost all three matches at Euro 2012.
:17:27. > :17:29.As I have said before, it is all about the service to
:17:30. > :17:36.But we have been sitting here for 15 minutes and they should be
:17:37. > :17:57.There was no attempt to play the ball.
:17:58. > :17:59.He was just trying to block Busquets.
:18:00. > :18:05.He seems to like hitting people in the chest,
:18:06. > :19:12.We are only two games and 15 minutes into this World Cup,
:19:13. > :19:14.but a decent refereeing performance would not go amiss.
:19:15. > :19:25.Some strange ones in the earlier Mexico against Cameroon game.
:19:26. > :19:53.Backing in, stopping Ramos getting the ball.
:19:54. > :20:04.That just allows the full-backs to get forward, but on
:20:05. > :20:14.the occasions they have got forward, they haven't really had the ball.
:20:15. > :20:17.Spain played here in Brazil in the Confederations Cup a year
:20:18. > :20:20.ago, and there is some advantage the teams who experienced the climate.
:20:21. > :20:30.I don't think they wanted to be here, in the end.
:20:31. > :20:38.They were nearly beaten by Italy in the semifinal.
:20:39. > :20:41.As luck would have it, England have been
:20:42. > :20:43.drawn in the group here, including Italy and Uruguay, the two
:20:44. > :20:59.tomorrow, please do join us for England against Italy.
:21:00. > :21:14.Not been the 17 minutes we dreamt of.
:21:15. > :21:21.Look on the bright side, he's not having to limp off so far.
:21:22. > :21:25.Just giving the ball away again, the Dutch.
:21:26. > :21:29.Definitely on, good timing of the run.
:21:30. > :21:34.You're not going to score from there.
:21:35. > :22:02.Even the blokes in the studio could not manage that.
:22:03. > :22:06.Spain asking why they cannot play on.
:22:07. > :22:12.He's only about five yards from the touchline.
:22:13. > :22:28.Give it to somebody who has got some nails to undo the knot.
:22:29. > :22:43.You don't get much for 180 grand a week, do you?
:22:44. > :22:51.David Silva trying to -- Diego Costa.
:22:52. > :23:37.Alonso was missing in the Real Madrid Champions League
:23:38. > :24:06.De Jong was a million miles away from giving it to Arjen Robben or
:24:07. > :24:27.Van Persie. Very highly rated, Bruno Martins Indi.
:24:28. > :24:31.Is he that highly rated that van Gaal might take him to Old Trafford?
:24:32. > :24:35.Not the only one in this team linked with
:24:36. > :25:02.There were three in the box, then David Silva.
:25:03. > :25:14.Again, when Iniesta got in the box there was nobody there
:25:15. > :25:21.Well, it was given, and it is a Spanish corner,
:25:22. > :25:50.It was, but he spun off the marker, and nobody went with him.
:25:51. > :25:56.Looks like he was having a joke there, del Bosque.
:25:57. > :26:23.Roncrete, they call him in the Netherlands.
:26:24. > :26:48.That suggests he doesn't run very fast.
:26:49. > :26:51.They've got nothing down the right at all, Spain.
:26:52. > :27:20.Everyone appeals, and it goes the way of the Dutch.
:27:21. > :27:24.His dad, Danny Blind, is the assistant to Louis van Gaal,
:27:25. > :27:49.Sneijder, who had the chance of the game.
:27:50. > :28:01.De Guzman had to hold up Iniesta, and he did,
:28:02. > :28:10.I'm not sure that is a yellow card, you know.
:28:11. > :28:19.What were we saying about the referees before?
:28:20. > :28:42.Inside de Vrij, Diego Costa went down, penalty.
:28:43. > :28:48.And the referee had absolutely no hesitation.
:28:49. > :28:55.I tell you what, he hasn't scored so far, Diego Costa,
:28:56. > :29:29.He is normally a reliable penalty taker, Xabi Alonso,
:29:30. > :29:35.but he did blot his copybook, even though it didn't matter as he
:29:36. > :29:44.The goalkeeper with a word from the referee.
:29:45. > :29:54.And maybe a bit of advice as to which way Alonso might go.
:29:55. > :30:23.See what I mean, stuck his foot out.
:30:24. > :30:37.You don't get them when they are that low, do you?
:30:38. > :30:39.Cillessen going in the right direction, but not quickly enough.
:30:40. > :30:51.You have to take your chances against the Spanish.
:30:52. > :30:55.The flag is up against Van Persie. Van Gaal with some
:30:56. > :31:06.You might remember that Spain won their last four matches at the
:31:07. > :31:17.Only conceded two goals, didn't they, in 2010?
:31:18. > :31:34.They have not conceded a goal at all in 2014.
:31:35. > :31:45.Certainly looks like he has given them something, Diego Costa.
:31:46. > :31:55.If you have a team with three centre-backs, you
:31:56. > :32:43.The other thing about Diego Costa is,
:32:44. > :35:52.No, he just couldn't quite get there.
:35:53. > :35:54.Very similar to the own goal scored last night by Brazil.
:35:55. > :37:11.The central defender staring down the barrel of his own net.
:37:12. > :37:45.That was not the strongest of shots, was it?
:37:46. > :37:50.I think the referee had already blown for a foul.
:37:51. > :37:54.Spain lost the opening game of the last World Cup finals to
:37:55. > :37:59.One of only three defeats that they have suffered
:38:00. > :38:10.The other two being the semifinal of the 2009 Confederations Cup
:38:11. > :39:07.Your next live World Cup football on the BBC is
:39:08. > :39:10.the Columbia-Greece game, join us from 4 o'clock on BBC One.
:39:11. > :39:23.Manaus is the venue for England and Italy live
:39:24. > :39:40.It is like they are just getting used to
:39:41. > :39:45.playing with a centre forward, the Spanish.
:39:46. > :40:04.The one player on the pitch who has already had a card, de Guzman.
:40:05. > :40:44.They just have the ball in any situation whatsoever,
:40:45. > :40:58.It is like, just give it me, I will give it you back.
:40:59. > :41:01.You could make a formidable team of Spanish players who are not
:41:02. > :41:21.With Robin van Persie and Sneijder, you never know, but the Dutch have
:41:22. > :41:33.Well, it won't happen because there are just seven or
:41:34. > :41:42.eight minutes to go, but if it stays at 1-0, they will have to change.
:41:43. > :42:03.Look at that footballer shouting at the football.
:42:04. > :42:32.But the Spanish do have a tendency sometimes when there is
:42:33. > :42:43.no pressure on the ball in midfield to push up a little bit high.
:42:44. > :43:14.Diego Costa could have played on there.
:43:15. > :43:30.A booking for de Vrij, joining de Guzman in the referee's notebook.
:43:31. > :44:00.To recap we are on air from 4 o'clock tomorrow.
:44:01. > :44:08.The delay was his left hand, I think,
:44:09. > :44:34.the assistant was trying to get it into his right hand to raise it.
:44:35. > :44:43.The most capped Dutch player has 24, which is not much when you look
:44:44. > :44:59.They have a capacity to from a five to a four
:45:00. > :45:10.That is how they played against Wales in Amsterdam, winning 2-0.
:45:11. > :45:19.Then they got on the plane for Brazil.
:45:20. > :45:47.That is the only problem with the three centre backs sometimes.
:45:48. > :45:50.If nobody picks the runner up, a lot of space to close down...
:45:51. > :46:40.time. If he had smashed that from where he was, 2-0.
:46:41. > :46:58.An absolute peach of a ball in and Robin van Persie heads over Casillas
:46:59. > :47:10.It is the fact that van Persie knew he had to wait for it.
:47:11. > :47:14.He got there early and he knew exactly what he was going to do.
:47:15. > :47:19.It had to be absolutely perfect to beat Casillas and it was, brilliant.
:47:20. > :47:32.He had a really quick look at the goalkeeper.
:47:33. > :47:40.That is a wonderful goal, a wonderful goal.
:47:41. > :48:16.Well, the Dutch fans outnumber the Spanish, I would estimate,
:48:17. > :48:23.And it is the orange cloud, the Netherlands fans who you can hear.
:48:24. > :48:28.We are moving into an added minute at the end of the half.
:48:29. > :48:41.Just after David Silva had missed that chance.
:48:42. > :48:44.You have to give the goalkeeper credit, that save
:48:45. > :48:54.It does change the half-time team talk from Louis van Gaal.
:48:55. > :48:59.The first goal that Spain have conceded this calendar year.
:49:00. > :49:25.It's all very well, we have seen that ten times.
:49:26. > :49:44.Wesley Sneijder could easily have given the Dutch the lead early on.
:49:45. > :49:46.Xabi Alonso did with a very coolly taken penalty
:49:47. > :49:49.after Diego Costa, who has played well, was fouled by de Vrij.
:49:50. > :49:52.But Robin van Persie with a brilliant, brilliant header,
:49:53. > :50:42.Xabi Alonso with the penalty that gave Spain the lead.
:50:43. > :50:56.It will be quite nice to play in the rain, quite refreshing.
:50:57. > :50:58.It is not terrifically hot but pretty muggy.
:50:59. > :51:01.Van Persie has now scored in every major tournament finals in which he
:51:02. > :51:39.Three World Cups, two European Championships finals.
:51:40. > :51:43.If you saw the earlier game between Mexico and Cameroon,
:51:44. > :51:51.it was this kind of weather from start to finish.
:51:52. > :51:54.Seems appropriate in the wet that this World Cup's
:51:55. > :52:05.Big Head the leatherback has taken over from Paul the octopus,
:52:06. > :52:08.which I think is a good thing overall because somebody once said
:52:09. > :53:02.No change of tactic here from either side at the moment.
:53:03. > :54:08.Never frightened to go back to eventually go forward.
:54:09. > :54:53.Iniesta made that slightly tricky for Cillessen.
:54:54. > :55:05.It seems to have poured with rain every five minutes.
:55:06. > :55:13.The Dutch are off to Port Alegre next where they play Australia with
:55:14. > :56:06.Robben was just beginning to flow, get in his stride.
:56:07. > :56:48.Some encouragement out there for Louis Van Gaal.
:56:49. > :56:52.That was a clever nudge by Sergio Ramos.
:56:53. > :57:14.Arjen Robben fires the Dutch in front and world champions Spain
:57:15. > :57:24.And yet again the Dutch have penetrated Spain right through
:57:25. > :57:37.Very little protection on occasions, Casillas.
:57:38. > :57:55.Started with the Spanish giving the ball away.
:57:56. > :58:06.As you said, the big chance he had against the same Gold Beach
:58:07. > :58:47.Sergio Ramos and Pique have been slightly off the pace.
:58:48. > :58:54.Spain may be behind but the Dutch are long way away from winning this.
:58:55. > :59:08.Diego Costa looks favourite in the dock!
:59:09. > :59:18.Let's face it, I don't think Iniesta would be
:59:19. > :59:30.Well, not the most intelligent thing that Diego Costa has ever done
:59:31. > :59:54.What did the former manager and coach say about Diego Costa?
:59:55. > :00:07.I think the ball might have gone out of play.
:00:08. > :00:27.Not an enormous amount of contact, but I would suggest if the referee
:00:28. > :00:39.I just never know why players do that.
:00:40. > :00:41.Two Brazilians might have been sent off in this World Cup already,
:00:42. > :00:48.It is not as though he has been kicking him from pillar to post.
:00:49. > :01:00.I don't think he has even touched him.
:01:01. > :01:02.Robben and Robin van Persie with the Dutch
:01:03. > :02:19.I don't know if it is the relative decline of Barcelona or the fact
:02:20. > :02:22.Spain were so heavily beaten in the Confederations Cup 12 months ago, or
:02:23. > :02:25.the fact these things are cyclical, but if Spain lose here having led
:02:26. > :02:28.against the Dutch in particular, it will add to the suspicion and
:02:29. > :02:36.feeling that they may just be coming towards the end says that is not the
:02:37. > :02:46.The facts about them, they hardly concede goals, but today
:02:47. > :02:56.they really have been quite porous through the middle of defence.
:02:57. > :02:58.They have conceded two and if Sneijder had taken
:02:59. > :03:01.his early chance, which you should have done, it would be three.
:03:02. > :03:03.Just the nature of the ball is played through.
:03:04. > :03:21.Iniesta blocked the attempted clearance.
:03:22. > :03:25.Sergio Ramos collects from Ron Vlaar.
:03:26. > :03:38.David Silva was complaining, but he's on the ball now.
:03:39. > :03:41.Just to repeat, they lost the opening game of the last
:03:42. > :03:47.I find this stage of the game absolutely fascinating.
:03:48. > :04:20.Cillessen, who played his part with a save from David Silva, and
:04:21. > :04:30.In fact, it will be a double change, because Pedro is ready to come
:04:31. > :04:40.That is the reaction from del Bosque.
:04:41. > :04:44.I think van Gaal is going to make a change very shortly as well.
:04:45. > :05:06.A sweet strike as well, absolutely sweet.
:05:07. > :05:08.Well, small margins make a difference in big games,
:05:09. > :05:15.He is slightly off, but that is the margin I'm talking about,
:05:16. > :05:25.First thing Van Persie did was turn and look
:05:26. > :05:37.at the referee's assistant to see if the flag was up, and it wasn't.
:05:38. > :05:46.Good play by Robben, running at the central defenders, committing them.
:05:47. > :05:59.Cillessen got their first from David Silva and did well.
:06:00. > :06:01.He did well, brilliantly, he read the play from the
:06:02. > :06:18.There will be two Spanish changes and a Dutch change as well.
:06:19. > :06:21.I guess that was a little mouse with clogs on from old Amsterdam?
:06:22. > :06:36.De Guzman coming off, which might not be entirely unrelated to the
:06:37. > :07:04.Replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum, straight positional change.
:07:05. > :07:06.And Diego Costa is replaced by Fernando Torres, and Xabi Alonso
:07:07. > :07:28.So, just over an hour of the game played, the opening game
:07:29. > :07:34.And goals from Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben,
:07:35. > :07:42.either side of half-time, means that the Netherlands leads Spain 2-1.
:07:43. > :07:46.And Robin van Persie has hit the bar to boot.
:07:47. > :07:57.Van Persie. A good spell from Holland, because Robben has
:07:58. > :08:16.got himself free in all sorts of different positions.
:08:17. > :08:43.Handball, I think, is what it is given for.
:08:44. > :08:46.The booing is for the confirmation of the change made by del Bosque,
:08:47. > :08:53.and the name of Diego Costa is announced as the player being taken.
:08:54. > :08:58.Has it gone over the line on the back post?
:08:59. > :09:05.Stefan de Vrij has made it three for the Netherlands.
:09:06. > :09:12.A yellow card has been shown to the Spanish goalkeeper, I think,
:09:13. > :09:19.Casillas came for it and I'm not sure he got anywhere near it.
:09:20. > :09:32.I am not sure de Vrij knew that much about it either.
:09:33. > :09:35.He is complaining that Van Persie fouled him.
:09:36. > :09:45.There is contact, most definitely, but I'm not convinced Casillas was
:09:46. > :09:53.De Vrij got it in by hook or by crook.
:09:54. > :10:01.There is a fellow in the studio who scored 200 goals like that.
:10:02. > :10:07.Spain, within a moment of having made two changes designed
:10:08. > :10:18.to wrestle the game back from the Dutch have conceded another.
:10:19. > :10:37.Van Persie had a wild swing at Pedro.
:10:38. > :10:38.The yellow card shown in the aftermath
:10:39. > :11:29.When you tot up the chances, it could have been five.
:11:30. > :11:43.Torres is a surprising inclusion in the squad.
:11:44. > :11:47.Surprising to Alvaro Negredo above all.
:11:48. > :12:02.Great block by Bruno Martins Indi.
:12:03. > :12:22.He has taken a knock as well, the goalkeeper.
:12:23. > :12:53.He has got away with it, the goalie, hasn't he?
:12:54. > :12:58.Spain momentarily thinking it was 3-2, but they are 3-1 down here
:12:59. > :13:07.Your next football, join us at 4pm, Columbia come into the tournament,
:13:08. > :13:17.England against Italy, BBC One again.
:13:18. > :13:19.Here is confirmation of the yellow card in
:13:20. > :13:34.He is saying, why did you book me, I was fouled.
:13:35. > :14:08.Van Persie. Casillas with his right leg.
:14:09. > :14:36.One reign Spain ended last week.
:14:37. > :14:41.The undisputed kings of world football are not starting this
:14:42. > :15:01.competition in anything like the way they would have hoped or expected.
:15:02. > :15:05.This is the save from Casillas with his foot.
:15:06. > :15:35.They have never really got close to Robben and Van Persie all day.
:15:36. > :15:38.It is apropos of nothing, really, but this is only the fourth time
:15:39. > :15:45.that the two finalists from a previous World Cup have met again
:15:46. > :15:51.in the next one, and the team who were World Cup winners have never
:15:52. > :16:02.Unless Spain do something in the next 20 minutes, that will continue.
:16:03. > :16:49.A little pause for breath from Janmaat.
:16:50. > :17:00.And Robin van Persie has poked home the fourth.
:17:01. > :17:02.Iker Casillas, of all people, the most capped player
:17:03. > :17:16.in this World Cup, one of the most decorated players in the world.
:17:17. > :17:24.And Robin van Persie puts this game out of Spanish reach.
:17:25. > :17:57.His first touch is what has cost him, isn't it?
:17:58. > :18:05.If he had gone down, you might have had a penalty and got sent off.
:18:06. > :18:08.Not a turtle or an octopus in the world that would have seen
:18:09. > :18:41.There was very little optimism in the Dutch media ranks
:18:42. > :18:53.They were assuming they would beat Australia and the last game against
:18:54. > :18:56.Chile in Sao Paulo would decide who would go through as runners-up.
:18:57. > :19:00.If Spain go through as runners up the way it is looking,
:19:01. > :19:06.we could have Brazil and Spain in the second round.
:19:07. > :19:09.A lot of water to go under a few bridges before that
:19:10. > :19:45.No wonder they are singing and dancing in the rain.
:19:46. > :19:56.Fernando Torres played that wide but the free kick was given.
:19:57. > :20:00.Could have been worse for Spain, Diego Costa and Casillas could both
:20:01. > :20:33.He has put it on my boots, my leopard skins!
:20:34. > :20:40.Not long for Spain to turn this around.
:20:41. > :21:06.They are taking off Stefan de Vrij and bringing on Joel
:21:07. > :21:55.Spain led 1-0 in Salvador, and are now 4-1 down.
:21:56. > :21:58.David Silva might have made it 2-0 in what seems
:21:59. > :22:43.I would actually go along with the referee on that.
:22:44. > :22:47.On the basis that it does not always have to be necessarily either
:22:48. > :23:12.The Dutch are thoroughly enjoying themselves
:23:13. > :23:16.and Robin van Persie is going to get a great ovation here.
:23:17. > :23:29.Van Persie and Robben have taken Spain apart, in all honesty.
:23:30. > :23:38.Two goals for van Persie, one for Robben and one for de Vrij.
:23:39. > :23:46.I don't expect you to answer this, but the last time the Spain conceded
:23:47. > :24:07.They lost by three to Brazil in the Confederations Cup final, 3-0.
:24:08. > :24:51.Louis van Gaal and the Netherlands have destroyed the world champions!
:24:52. > :24:55.An absolutely brilliantly taken goal by Robben.
:24:56. > :25:06.In all honesty, look how he outpaces everybody.
:25:07. > :25:38.The misery for Spain is that there are still ten minutes to play.
:25:39. > :25:44.I think you need to keep repeating that
:25:45. > :26:09.the Dutch response has been incredible.
:26:10. > :26:27.He and Pique have been pulled all over the place.
:26:28. > :26:31.They have waited four years and they say that revenge is best
:26:32. > :27:23.In the second half, Spain have been completely dominated by the Dutch.
:27:24. > :27:42.They are a group of players now in unchartered territory.
:27:43. > :28:09.There was a time when this Spanish group seemed to be simply
:28:10. > :28:17.Suspicions over the last year that if they have a bad day
:28:18. > :28:23.and you have a very good one, you might just be able to trouble them,
:28:24. > :28:29.but it has been a very long time since Spain were humbled and
:28:30. > :29:03.thrashed and they have been thrashed here.
:29:04. > :29:05.Vlaar has been absolutely rock-solid, right from that
:29:06. > :29:10.The Spanish headline writers will be preparing the Spanish Inquisition
:29:11. > :29:13.lines, no doubt, but they have some thinking to do before they go
:29:14. > :29:20.and play Chile in Rio in what is now a huge game for them.
:29:21. > :29:28.You could argue they could have done with Australia.
:29:29. > :29:32.They beat Chile 2-1 in the last World Cup but it was not a cakewalk.
:29:33. > :29:56.It just shows you when you have got matchwinners,
:29:57. > :30:02.the likes of Robben and van Persie, when they are at their peak, you
:30:03. > :30:55.Never a good thing for a commentator!
:30:56. > :30:58.It is not just the defeat, it is the manner.
:30:59. > :31:02.And the way they have conceded the goals.
:31:03. > :31:05.It has been appalling, in all honesty.
:31:06. > :31:16.Well done to Holland for some outstanding play.
:31:17. > :31:52.And it hit the bar as well through van Persie.
:31:53. > :31:55.Sneijder missed the first chance of the game and it was a golden one.
:31:56. > :32:21.Interesting to see what del Bosque does for the next game.
:32:22. > :32:31.Who he starts and who he leaves out and if he changes the goalkeeper.
:32:32. > :32:35.He has got loads of options of course.
:32:36. > :33:00.Does he just write it off as a really bad night?
:33:01. > :33:46.Well, the end cannot come soon enough.
:33:47. > :34:03.Who would ever have thought that Spain would be looking a mess?
:34:04. > :34:07.It is worth repeating, at the World Cup, four years ago, they lost to
:34:08. > :34:20.Yes, you have still only lost three points, haven't you?
:34:21. > :34:31.A few other things on his mind, probably.
:34:32. > :34:36.Janmaat with the throw, and just a few more seconds for the Spanish
:34:37. > :35:06.Jeremain Lens has got through the tackle, Arjen Robben in the middle.
:35:07. > :35:21.There are four added minutes, and that is four too many for Spain.
:35:22. > :35:47.That does sum up the night for Spain, doesn't it?
:35:48. > :36:05.That is a hefty challenge from Pedro.
:36:06. > :36:11.Well, all great champions suffer defeats now and again in any sport.
:36:12. > :36:14.All great champions will taste defeat.
:36:15. > :36:22.But this has been a defeat of immense proportions for Spain.
:36:23. > :36:30.It's the manner of the defeat, as well.
:36:31. > :36:40.Well, you've got to learn how to lose as well as to win.
:36:41. > :36:46.They have been taught a lesson by a Dutch side that many were wondering
:36:47. > :36:58.Well, you could argue that the manager has gambled on changing the
:36:59. > :37:19.Arjen Robben has thoroughly enjoyed his evening's work.
:37:20. > :37:24.The second half, he has torn the Spanish defence apart.
:37:25. > :38:27.The Dutch will deserve a huge ovation
:38:28. > :38:41.It's the end of the world as we know it.
:38:42. > :38:52.The world champions have lost the opening game of the World Cup.
:38:53. > :38:56.And how the wheels have fallen off for the Spanish.
:38:57. > :39:07.Dismantled by van Gaal and his young Dutch team,
:39:08. > :39:09.with the old masters Robben and Van Persie proving ageless.
:39:10. > :39:12.Quite outstanding second-half performance
:39:13. > :39:37.Well, there you have it, Spain 5-1 Netherlands.
:39:38. > :39:47.??PREVSUB ??NEWSUB what a fantastic night here for the Netherlands. The
:39:48. > :39:52.Spanish coach del Bosque looked shell-shocked going into the
:39:53. > :39:57.dressing room. Van Gaal thinks they can make the semifinals, even the
:39:58. > :40:05.finals. Colombia play Greece at four o'clock. And England versus Italy,
:40:06. > :40:21.from Manaus, our coverage starts live at half past ten.
:40:22. > :40:26.The average person moves home eight times during their life.
:40:27. > :40:31.So that's eight times we have to move the sofa.
