WORLD CUP 2014: Australia 2 - 3 Holland

Memphis Depay hits the winner as Louis van Gaal's men close in on World Cup last 16,  This, even Louis van Gaal would have to concede, was not a game for sitting on a barstool. It was a game that had you on your feet. That had you wondering if the World Cup that keeps on giving really can get any better.

The finest players on the planet will certainly do well here in Brazil to better Tim Cahill’s 21st minute strike; an equaliser that goes straight into the greatest volleys in history file alongside men like Marco van Basten, Tony Yeboah, Paolo Di Canio and Robin van Persie. It was Australia’s 10th World Cup goal and a perfect one at that.
But it was more than just the quality of the goals.

It was the sheer, unexpected drama of the encounter. The courage and determination of an Australian team, the lowest ranked side in the competition, that dared to dream and dared even to lead the beaten finalists of 2010 and most recent conquerors of Spain.
