Score and the game is over!

Unfortunately, SVK's Vittek's PK goal in extra time was the last play of the match and NED still wins 2-1.  SVK missed some point blank goal opportunities in the middle of the box.  63 picked NED to advance.  There have been 18 goals scored in the 5 R16 matches (3.6 goals per match) and all 10 teams have scored.

Holland Nearly Through

The Dutch have taken a 2-0 lead over underdog Slovakia.  A quick free kick caught SVK napping.  With the way the "big" teams are playing, this is playing out to be a great WC.  URU, ARG, GER, and NED have been dominating and all except NED (who are usually dubbed the best team to never win the Cup) are multiple-WC winners.
