Arsenal 1 - Man United 0

Hmmm. I thought this was a World Cup post?

It is.

Robin Van Persie (Arsenal) scored.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy (Nistelrooij?)(Man Utd)) scored.
Edwin Van Der Sar (Man Utd) let a goal in.

So 1-1 = 0

Therefore Arsenal 1-Man Utd 0

Jokes aside. The Netherlands join Argentina in the next round of the World Cup following their 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast.

Goals from Robin Van Persie in the 23rd minute and Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the 27th minute gave them the win, despite Ivory Coast getting a goal back in the 38th minute with a Bakary Kone strike.

Van Persie nailed a superb free kick to give his side the lead in the 23rd minute, after being fouled by Arsenal teammate Kolo Toure. A beautiful free kick it was too.

Jean-Jacques Tizie of the Ivory Coast then had to go face to face with Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the 27th minute, following superb play by Arjen Robben. Nistelrooy rarely looses in one-on-ones with keepers, and he placed the ball past the helpless Tizie to give his side a two goal cushion.

Bakary Kone pulled one back in the 38th minute however, with arguably the best strike of the match. Surging past several defenders, he strikes the ball past Van Der Sar, pulling the Ivory Coast to within one of Holland.

Sadly, there are no more goals for them, dooming them to an exit from the World Cup.

Netherlands go through to the next round, along with Argentina. The next game, between the two will decide who goes through in first spot.
