Kully Singh:, external Am I the only one who thinks that Tim Cahill mis-hit that and he actually wanted to head it?

Gareth Murray:, external Over the first two Aussie matches we've learned that Tim Cahill left the Premier League far too early.

Jonathan H:, external Tim Cahill would put most 25-year-olds in the Premier League to shame. Outstanding goal.

Dave, Bedford: Hands up if you saw that coming? Anyone with their hands up is lying. Get in Timmy!

They will talk about Tim Cahill's goal for years to come. It was that good. He might be 34 years old but that was truly special. It has stunned the Netherlands. This is turning out to be another belter.

"Oh my word, you won't see a better goal all World Cup. That was Marco van Basten-esque. What a goal, sensational. That is the goal of the World Cup. To hit a dropping ball over your shoulder on the wrong foot, over the goalkeeper, off the bar. Tim Cahill, legend.

"He'll never score a better goal in his life. The technique to do that, the ball was in the air for an age and he smashed it.

"The goal from the Netherlands came from Australia's free-kick,. They tried to play short because they're confident and that was a ridiculous decision. Alex Wilkinson tried to clatter Robben but he stayed on his feet for one of the first times we've seen and what a finish."

Pat:, external What a goal by Tim Cahill. Reminds me of Robin van Persie v Aston Villa.

Sam:, external Can this World Cup get any better!? What an absolute belter from Tim Cahill! Amazing!

Callum:, external Goal of the tournament so far! Tim Cahill, take a bow!

Outrageous! The Netherlands' lead lasts for 69 seconds as Tim Cahill scores what is the goal of the tournament, a sensational left-foot from the edge of the Dutch area. It's a goal we're used to seeing from Robin van Persie. Unbelievable.

Bang! What was that about a quiet start by the Netherlands. Arjen Robben spins past Alex Wilkinson on the halfway line before bursting into the Australian penalty area and finding the net with a low finish from an angle. Delightful. Goal number three for the tournament for the former Chelsea man.

Mat Ryan's quiet start in the Australian goal comes to an end as he is called on to save Robin van Persie's header from an inswinging free-kick. But it's tame and Ryan gathers comfortably.

Australia win the first corner as Mark Bresciano's shot is deflected off Stefan de Vrij. It comes to nothing. Socceroos keeper Mat Ryan has yet to make a save.

Oh dear. The Mexican wave has started already. That's not a good sign. We're still awaiting the first shot in anger.

There's been a sprinkling of free-kicks in the opening exchanges for both teams. Robin van Persie has yet to cause the Socceroos any problems. All the noise is coming from Australia's 18,000 fans.

"The Dutch are giving the ball away cheaply and there's no energy in their play at the minute.

"There's an air of complacency about them. It's like they're thinking 'we'll get going in a minute, we're going to score and we're going to win the game'. But Australia have been the better side so far. The Dutch have been lethargic and sloppy."

Australia were nervous in the opening stages against Chile but they are settling nicely into this. We've yet to see flashes of those lightning Dutch bursts that destroyed Spain.

Simon Speake:, external Mat Ryan's one of the best keepers in the tournament, but he'll probably find himself a tad overworked in this game.

Ryan Butler:, external I have a feeling Australia might snatch this one.

Milo Thompson:, external I reckon Australia could steal a win, although the Dutch will take full advantage of any criminal defending.

First serious burst into the Australian half by Arjen Robben after Matt McKay carelessly gives the ball away. Nigel de Jong's pass sends Robben clear but the Bayern Munich forward gets in a tangle and Australia clear.

Australia are knocking the ball around with confidence. The Dutch are showing patience. No chances for either side so far.

"It's a fantastic start from Australia, knocking the ball around the back four and Tim Cahill can come short and link play well. When the ball's wide his first thought is to spin his defender and try to get in the box for a header."

Ouch! A bruising challenge by Nigel de Jong on Tommy Oar earns Australia an early free-kick inside the Dutch half. It comes to nothing. Let's hope De Jong's challenge is not a sign of things to come.

The blue-shirted Netherlands get game number 18 of the 2014 World Cup started.
