RVP stars under Van Gaal in dominant win.

Well, incredible doesn't begin to describe that match! Unless your head was buried in sand, you've probably seen that the Netherlands defeated Spain in their opening World Cup fixture by a massive four goal margin, the final score being 5-1.

Spain took the lead through a Xabi Alonso penalty but were pegged buy a stunning Robin Van Persie diving head that lobbed Iker Casillas just before half time. The celebration left every United fan in the world with huge smiles on their faces:

RVP managed to get another goal to his name, with suggested United target Arjen Robben also bagging a brace. The other goal was scored by Stefan de Vrij.

Other reds, Juan Mata and David De Gea, were unused subs for Spain.

So how about that? Defying adversity was something Sir Alex Ferguson performed on countless occasions. Going 1-0 down and going on to crush the reigning world champions is definitely comparable. Well played, Mr. Van Gaal.
