Netherlands Get Revenge Against Spain

So glad the World Cup is back. Happier that those vuvuzelas are not part of it.

What was supposed to be the match of the day was Spain vs. Netherlands featuring the two finalists of the 2010 World Cup. It was a great match for a while with it being tied 1-1 at the half. Then the Dutch got out in front with a goal by Arjen Robben and just started to run away with. Stefan de Vrij then scored in the 65' followed by another goal by Robin Van Persie in the 72' and then another for Arjen Robben in the 80'. The Netherlands win by a final of 5-1.

Not exactly the start Spain was hoping for in the defense of their world title. Meanwhile, the Dutch seemed like a team with a purpose and that was simply revenge. Attached to proving they're a team to be reckoned with in this tournament.

Other games of the day included Mexico getting a 1-0 win over Cameroon which should've been 3-0 but whatever. And then Chile getting a 3-1 win over Australia.

Four World Cup games set for tomorrow including England vs Italy.
