Okay maybe I'll just root for the underdog...most of the time that's what I do anyway

lots of time i start supporting the favorites, but after seeing the underdogs fight with heart and passion i start to root for underdogs.

[al-Sagar]

good build and chance for dutch ......

BBC Sport's Martin Keown

"You can see how much Slovakia have improved in organisation during the course of the World Cup. The Netherlands don't seem to be troubling them at the moment."

[al-Sagar]

2-1 the fnal score

Its another 2-1 affair. Slovakia didnt show much aggression after conceding first goal. They seem satisfied with their 2nd round entrance.

TO BBC VIA SMS

From Andy in Leeds: "So the Premier League season tires players out, which is why they can't perform at the World Cup eh Fabio? Heitinga, van Persie, Kuyt and De Jong were out there today and Holland did OK, and Tevez, Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez didn't look that tired last night either. How come this only affects ENGLISH Premier League players eh Fab? Do me a favour."
