seeing what spain did to germany i think holland is in trouble.
the uruguay match was quite tight. tighter than the score indicated because, frankly, dippin's right and uruguay was fucked over on the "offsides"....and i was also thinking throughout that in a counter-factual world in which suarez hadn't received an (obviously richly deserved) red card that holland would not have beat uruguay. you could see the effects of suarez not being on the pitch throughout, but especially in the first half---the timing of their offensive passing game was entirely off.
but no matter.
holland is simply not the same caliber team as spain.
