Semifinal: Netherlands - Argentina 0-0 (2-4 pk)

[King Leo]

So lvg wants to defend until getting a counter and score first

 

[poldep]

But the Dutch have a very clever coach. He will have them parking a train and a bus in front of the goal. And then long passes to Robben/RVP. It is just like Mourinho's teams.

Is Dutch keeper Cillessen any good, has he been tested yet?

He was the first keeper to get subbed out for penalties. What do you think?

[Busi-Messi Barca]

Thought that was just lvg being a plonker subbing him off.

I can see de jong getting sent off tonight.

It's go time.

Interesting game so far. Argentina looking calm and composed and more dangerous on the attack (although my heart stops whenever the Dutch play a long ball to RvP).

Was worried about Mascherano being injured.

Enzo Perez playing very well. Higuain also doing good. Messi leading the team as a captain should.

Too bad Argentina didn't score. The second half can be completely different. We've seen how effectively LvG can change the game.

1 - Arjen Robben attempted just one pass in the first half against #ARG

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Wow, okay.
2 out of 3 missed for Netherlands. Germany vs. Argentina it is.
Guess I was wrong about the Dutch.

I think van Gaal had way too much respect for Argentina and Messi (who were absolutely bleak against that bus).
They should have actually tried to play a match instead of just park a bus and wait for some miracle up front to happen/win by penalty shootout.

 

[GoobiePls]

Meh hopefully the Germans humiliate those boring Argentinians.

Did Argentina play an entertaining match? Mexico and Spain were fun to watch from Holland
