@Stargazer Yeah, I don't really know what's going on. I watch football once every four years.

[Bovidae]

Plenty of twists and turns in today's game.

Only Messi doesn't get a yellow card for a deliberate handball.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae In true Argie fashion.

[booboo]

Extra time? Crikey was 2 nil when I walked out nearly an hour a ago.

[booboo]

Penalties

[Bovidae]

Netherlands to do a Morocco after the opposition hit the post late?

[booboo]

Argies had some chances

[Stargazer]

The Dutch are imploding now.

[Toddy]

Argentina's goal keeper is having a stunner

[Stargazer]

Bugger. The Dutch were so close (something I didn't expect). One penalty in the shoot out is the difference.

He's a good GK but neither were great penalty attempts.

I hope Argentina goes all the way now.

[Billy Tell]

Dutch can only blame themselves. Right on top get the equalising goal then back to the original tactics.

[KiwiPie]

That was a pen all day - when someone chops back and you leave your foot there.

Fantastic free kick routine to pull off in the last chance saloon.

Given who the Dutch had on the field they should have carried on lumping it forward and pinned Argentina back - deserved to lose before pens given the chances that Argentina had.

Something I will never say haha. Go France (or Portugal)!

You’re dreaming. That’s the kind of thing that turns people off soccer. He was barely touched.

Really hope Croatia knock them out after that the excessive diving.

I'd be happy if France won, but prefer Messi over CR7.

Argentinians are poor sport, diving fluffybunnies

I thought the gamesmanship during the penalties was shit from both sides. Holding onto the ball, sledging, pretty poor look but hardly unexpected from todays soccer players

[canefan]

Go England.

Really? You've not watched much of the game then have you? Every professional would have gone down at that point from any nation. Lord Harry Kane is a master of it.
