If I was Spanish I'd be starting to get very worried.

I don't think their goalkeeper can stop anything.

Great shot though.

All square at 1.

Nothing's going the Dutch way today.

I didn't think the handball was in the box.

In off the post.

ESP 1-0

Has Spain fallen apart in this 2nd half?

Actually, I was thinking the same thing before VAR did its stuff...

Spain catches an enormous break. If it were the #NHL, the Spanish player would have got two minutes for interference.

Another shot on target for Spain.

Due to an Act of God, the Dutch still haven't had a shot on goal.

The NED No 7 is lightning fast.

Holy crap! No penalty.

My 100% incorrect prognostication record is intact.

It was a penalty.

The ESP GK being glued to her line has eventually had its side effect.

Great 🇪🇸🇳🇱 game at the Women’s World Cup on, but the #ESPNed hashtag for it sounds like what happens to your conference when a network kills it.

Wow. Is it just me, or is this a particularly rough game? I've seen some grabbing from both teams, with one team especially bad. The ref doesn't seem to care. @wwc #wwc #FIFAWWC

Surprised the possession stat is so close.

But NED only leading in Goalkeeper Saves, Fouls Committed and times flagged for Offside.

It's amazing they are still in this.

Rubbed off for Offside.

Lucky Dutch.

Excited because there’s finally a World Cup game in primetime then depressed because they put it in primetime assuming the USWNT would win the group and advance into the quarters
