I guess our difference is that you think he's been playing bad this world cup, where as I think he's been a beast throughout!

As for the Netherlands strikers, if they play like today, I doubt they'll be that lucky again. Persie could do a single thing, and Robben, his trick of cutting in left was easily blocked out by the defence. Only person I thought was solid today was Sneijder. But we'll see I guess! I'm hoping the Netherlands win anyway since I don't like the way Uruguay snatched the victory today (plus, I love Persie and Robben, lol, I just hope they play better than today)!

EDIT: Also, do you really believe he's too old? Fair enough he doesn't chase after the ball as much as Suarez, but he's still got pace in him!
