No Krul heroics today...what happened to that brilliant substitution? Not brilliant enough to use today?

Netherlands don't look like scoring today so they need a new striker on. The other day they didn't need to make any subs as they were having a shot every minute.

It wasn't the most morale-building move back then too....

At this rate, Germany deserve to win the whole thing.

Best put Robben in goal then. He might get lucky diving all over the place.
