12:13: The wait continues! 12:53: Predictions? 3:37: Recap: Herrera goes Super Saiyan! 3:40: Just before leaving the field, Iniesta hugs Dutch coach Louis van Gaal. 3:58: Tell me I'm your National Anthem. 4:04: Not the greatest reaction Costa has ever received... 4:08: Sneijder doesn't take his chances. 4:19: Robben's shoe woe. 4:26: It's a Spanish penalty! 4:30: Goal line technology eh? They paid for it, they're going to get some use from it! 4:36: Things are going on. Not much really, I think there was an offside a minute ago? 4:44: Woah. Umm...van Persie? That was quite a goal! 4:45: Well... 4:49: Yeah, so it's half time. We'll be back soon! 5:04: I guess it's safe to say the rain wants to watch the games of today.

This is dominance. 5:44: Robben fizzes one but it's stopped. You can't forget Casillas is one of the best in the world. Arjen has just been better. 5:48: I thought it was more a case of Netherlands being great, but Spain have been...well...that Torres effort sums the night up. They'll want to forget this one A$AP Rocky. 5:51:Right, I think it's time for me to pack up. 15 seconds before extra time ended, it's best it ends here. Absolutely phenomenal performance there.
