Netherlands and Manchester United star striker Robin van Persie drew a yellow card Thursday against Australia, and he will now miss Holland’s game versus Chile. Yes, the world’s 81st highest paid athlete will now be suspended because he also picked up a yellow card in the first match against Spain.
Louis van Gaal, both the club and national coach of Robin van Persie, must be disappointed in the second yellow card on Van Persie; it was quite a controversial call to say the least. However, The Dutch are already through to the knockout round of 16.
RVP and LVG are ready! So is this guy:

Pretty hard core eh?? This man loves his Oranje as you can see. The tattoo refers to the ASTOUNDING Robin van Persie header in the opening rout of Spain; perhaps the best goal we’ve seen in the World Cup thus far.
