SALVADOR Brazil (Reuters) - Dutch delight screamed out from the pages of their newspapers on Saturday as the country basked in the afterglow of a thrilling win over holders Spain at the start of their World Cup campaign. “What a hero” wrote the Algemeen Dagblad, which ran an almost full-page picture of Arjen Robben, who scored twice in the 5-1 victory at the Fonte Nova arena at the start of Group B. “A dream start,” trumpeted De Telegraaf, adding that the result was revenge for the defeat by Spain in the 2010 final. De Volkskrant also had the same lead headline, showing a flying Robin Van Persie scoring a remarkable headed first goal.
“Super sensation was written in Salvador according to the master plan of coach Louis van Gaal," said the paper.
