Netherlands 2 - Ivory Coast 1

And Holland is through to the next round! :D This was a thrilling match, well done to both teams. van Persie was great throughout the match, and m'Ruud scored his first World Cup goal! A classic RVN goal, with steadiness and precision. But then...he was substituted (again!) in the 73rd minute. Maybe van Basten wants to keep him fit for the match against Argentina?

Earlier on in the day, I finally got my Oranje!jersey, only to find out they ran out of "v. Nistelrooy" prints...AHHH! Didn't he was that popular over here. And now I have to wait A FEW WEEKS before they order the print in again. :(

Now I have to gear up for the Australia/Brazil match in 2 days' time. BIG match.
