28th min. De Jong (NED) committed a brutal foul a la kung-fu fighting against Alonso (ESP). He hit Alonso directly with his feet on the opponent's chest. Webb, the British referee, should have easily sent the Dutch off the field. Instead, he 'awarded' de Jong the yellow card.

What will happen the next 45 min.? I strongly doubt that the game will be finished with 22 players. With three Dutch players booked, van Bommel and de Jong are the stongest candidates for a red card.

The Dutch coach should better replace de Jong, else he might be facing the remainder of the match with only 10 or even 9 own players.
