Netherlands Vs Argentina: QF

[Gbspurs]

Not taking anything away from Martinez but they weren’t anywhere near the corners, nor were they high or low enough.

Plenty of pace though, you've still got to go the right way and get a firm hand

So if Argentina go through the narrative will be how the Dutch fought hard to get back in the game then sat back and blew it.

Jesus this is a pressure penalty if there ever was one

 

[carmeldevil]

Who got the yellow? looool

 

[JCRD]

Fuck sakes

the Dutch went for pens and took the risk

 

[cwy21]

Who got the yellow? looool

Doesn't matter. Cards reset before kicks.

 

[DanoCanuck]

Proper result considering

 

[cjbyid]

Some day of football it has to be said.

Crazy two games

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Arrogant twats - Croatia will kill em on pens.

Anyways this one is over I think

Yeah, hope Croatia crush them

Fair well Louis. You had one hell of a career. Be sad not seeing him in a dugout somewhere.

Weghorst just remembered he once played for Burnley there.

 

[rightwayup]

Score 2 goals in 8 minutes playing long ball then stop doing it in extra time. Quite bizarre.

 

[Jody]

There’ll be at least one spurs player in the final now.

 

[muppetman]

Best team won and fair play to Van Gaal, not many superstars in that Dutch team.

 

[taidgh]

Probably did tbf, ref just lost count.

No chance he hasn't got a list of who would miss out on the semi with a booking.

 

[RuskyM]

A penalty shootout with Emi Martinez and Livakovic might never end.

 

[theShiznit]

Not sure the point of having Van Dijk take the first penalty. Talk about setting the tone...

At least we saw Messi not doing the Ronaldo and Neymar me first (well in all cases but penalties) move to have the glory on the last pen.

[hughy]

Because the referee wasn't fit for Sunday league, let alone a World Cup?

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

That's about as deliberate as it could possibly be.

 

[hughy]

What makes it funnier is that Romero got a booking for a near identical hand ball minutes before.
