Argentina hold on for a boring win.

Nice save to prevent Messi scoting at the end and Lukaku came close, but too little too late.

I do not understand these defensive substitutions in situations where you’re just one goal ahead. What if the other team equalizes and then you’ve got less attackers and no chances to substitute tired players in overtime.

Subs like that have decided games before (for the other team).

First they score from a lucky rebound, and then they kill the match by wasting time from as early as 9 minutes in.

And we’re unable to force matters against defensive teams - only playing good against all-out attacking teams. That’s the main thing we need to change in the future. And two attackers instead of one, and just the lone defensive midfielder instead of two is a more than valid possibility, imo.

Now let’s hope this boring-ass Argentina gets knocked out in the semi-finals. Holland, do your job! Wink

Darn it, I would so have loved a Low Countries Derby semi-final…

Well Messi squad totally outclassed Belgium for good. I am only disappointed by
Messi’s terrible miss at the end, they cannot afford to lose these chances.
Belgium was too lucky that goal post saved them , otherwise it would have been 3-0.


Edit:

So Belgium had 1 shot on goal in this match and around 26 against US lol

2 golden chances

Expected this to be more one sided.

The Dutch are taking it far too casual and slow they need to pick up the pace a bit.

Not a fantastic save by Courtois instead? Innocent



Wow, the Dutch are weak in this match. Costa Rica’s even the better team this second half… Gasp


Edit: even if he’s legitimately fouled, Robben puts on the theatrics in going down. Tongue

How the hell did Holland not score there. 2 mins into injury time.

Edit: Going to Extra TIme

Costa Rica were lethal in the penalty shootout with Greece.

Holland need to wrap this up and wake up their goal keeper who hasn’t had much to do in about an hour.

Epic final ten minutes! The drama! Gasp


Edit: wow, that’s ridiculous, subbing the keeper right before a shoot-out. If this goes south (and that’s likely given Costa Rica’s shoot-out series vs. Greece, and given Navas’ overall quality as a keeper), then Cillessen should punch Van Gaal’s lights out…

Never seen anyone sub a keeper for penalties before.

No, it’s genius. However, Costa Rica still has a better penalty stopper I think.

Never doubt Van Gaal. Brilliant.
