It's another name for the Netherlands.
Woodwork saves Spain's arse right there. Though I think he was barely offside on replay.

The Netherlands also go by Holland (no "s") and the Dutch.

Even if Spain loses today they'll still make it to the knockout stage.

I knew that Holland was a city in Netherlands, but wasn't sure why y'all called the team that.
Holland, you scary.

Who saw this coming?
Spanish capitulation. Defending champs need two now to get that precious point. Chile is no slouch either.

Chile on South American soil isn't going to be an easy out for either Spain or Holland.
That was a bipolar two seconds for every Spaniard on Earth.

How do you make that mistake?

This group got really interesting all of a sudden. I can't wait for Netherlands v Chile.

Interesting on kit choices:
• For each match, the team listed first (on FIFA's website) is designated as the home side.
• Since this match is listed as "Spain v Netherlands", Spain receives first choice of which kit to wear.
• Spain selects all-red.
• Since Holland's Orange clashes with red, Holland must switch to blue.
• But according to the regulations, we now have a case of dark colored kit v dark colored kit.
• With Spain's alternate kit being all-black, FIFA inform Spain and their kit manufacturer (Adidas) that a light colored kit needs to be submitted to comply with FIFA regulations.
• All-white is chosen and will be worn against Holland.
• This means Holland can switch to orange right? Wrong. Orange is deemed to be Holland's light colored kit, so white v orange would mean light kit v light kit.
• For this match, Spain will wear white and Holland will dress in blue.
