Nigel de Jong has played his last game in this WC. That's a big loss for them. It'd be interesting to see how van Gaal is going to solve this issue as it might force his hand in changing formation like they played in the 2nd half against Mexico.
Can't see what all the hoo-ha about Robben and his diving, it's hardly his fault that a defender buys into his tricks and sticks a leg out is it? He's admitted to diving (not the one the penalty was given for) withing 60 minutes after the game, he said he anticipated a tackle and looking back on it he said he looked stupid and needs to cut it out of his game. That sort of honesty is actually quite refreshing, when was the last time Stevie G or Ashley Young did such a thing (or any other serial diver).
