NETHERLANDS vs. SLOVAKIA 3-0 (2-0)
Many saw Slovakia as one of the victims of group F, alongside New Zealand, but they proved everyone different. The big test was to be against the Oranges, in the first phase of the knockout rounds.
Netherlands stood calm and precise knowing that if they play at their normal rate they won't have any problems advancing. And so it was, Sneijder and Kuyt gave theit team a 2 goal lead at half time and everyting was looking just right for Robben & co.
2 nd half was more like a training match for Van Marwijk's lads, which controlled it from start till the end, but only scoried once more, after a long range effort of v. Persie.
MoM. Sneijder
