`They were so unlucky': Van Persie

"I think it's a shame, because in my opinion England played quite well," he said in Rio de Janeiro. "They were so unlucky."
"There's a thin line between winning or losing, going through or going home," he said.
Van Persie showed support for fellow United striker Wayne Rooney, who has come under heavy fire from critics over his performances in three World Cups.
"Wayne was the reason why I came to Manchester United, to play with him, and I never regretted that move," Van Persie said.
"He showed me that he's a world class player."
The Dutch forward noted, however, that Rooney has been the focus of media attention since he emerged as a promising player, and that he does not think the England striker will be affected by the latest criticism.
"That is his life," Van Persie said.
Still, he said, it would be grossly unfair to blame Rooney for his performances in Brazil.
He assisted Daniel Sturridge for England's goal in their 2-1 defeat to Italy and scored himself in their 2-1defeat to Uruguay, as well as missing several chances "by inches," Van Persie said.
