You've got to score when you get a chance like that in a game like this.

11 minutes gone and I don’t think there has been a foul tackle yet

13.49 for first foul, must be a record

Looked like a training game to me, the Dutch never even took the hand brake off, never mind getting into gear

Listened to former Holland and Chelsea player on 5 live at half time, his name escapes me. He said Holland played deep tactically to use their pace upfront to hurt the USA on the counter. Van Gaal apparently is fond of confusing the opposition with his tactics.

As I said, a training game for them.

2-0 up relax, goes to 2-1 with a worldy/lucky, ok, let’s ease of the handbrake and go and score another.
