Sad to see a great like Casillas embarrassed like that, desperately crawling around trying to catch Robben. This could be the last time he plays for Spain...

FASCINATING FACT:
The record for biggest defeat for a team who then went on to win the tournament is 8-3 for West Germany by Hungary in 1954. West Germany then beat Hungary 3-2 in the final.

Best game of the tournament so far, watching Spain getting thrashed, it had everything.

Anyone still think FIFA were right to seed Switzerland over Holland?

To be fair it was a foul on Casillas for the 3rd goal, from the corner, Van Persie did nothing but foul him, no attempt to head the ball. Always nice to see the Spanish thrashed though, could have been more as well. Should make Spain v Chile interesting!

The Spain vs Chile will be a great match to watch now, if Chile wins against Australia later which they should, at the moment Netherlands have a reasonable lead with goals, if it comes down to goal differences.

If this World Cup has a handful of matches as good or better than that, then it is going to be easily the best one of the 21st Century so far. I just hope Roy Hodgson has watched this match, and changes his planned starting XI to unleash "the Young Ones" upon Italy.

Australia so far living up to my expectations of them being the worst team at this year's World Cup.

I'm quite proud that I posted that BEFORE the second goal went in...

Expecting a total wipeout with a few goals in the net from Chile, Spain will definitely have to score goals in the remaining matches.

I like the way BBC1 introduced the line up for the teams. Their score graphics are certainly much better than the hideous intrusive ITV ones. The ITV font for the score is hideous as well. It is easier to read the time than the score even though it is only half the size.

It's actually easier to read if you stand over your telly and look down at it. Maybe that's what they were aiming for.

I can't believe Australia actually qualified for the World Cup tournament, they must have had an easy route to get there.
