The Netherlands ease past Slovakia 2-1 to set-up a quarter final showdown against Brazil.
The unusually united atmosphere prevailing over a Dutch World Cup finals camp threatens to come apart at the seams ahead of the quarter-final with Brazil after an outburst by Robin van Persie to coach Bert van Maarwijk when he was replaced in Monday's 2-1 win over Slovakia.
Journalists from Dutch TV station NOS said it was clear from lip reading van Persie that the Arsenal star had said to van Marwijk - after flashing him a dirty look - 'It is not me that should be substituted but Wesley Sneijder', when he was taken off after another insipid individual performance with 10 minutes remaining.
"False!" retorted van Persie. "I didn't say any name in particular."
