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

      Argentina's goal keeper is having a stunner

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

      I hope Argentina goes all the way now.

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

          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.

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

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

                    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

                        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.

                              The argentinians as a whole were worse than normal and regardless dives like that are rarely given as penalties. Huge mistake from ref. And it is a blight in the game.

                                The Spanish ref was poor and shouldn't get another game this WC. Oliver, the English ref, didn't give Brazil an endless amount of free kicks when there was little or NO contact.

                                  So google has a red card being given in the penalty shoot out to Dumfries. The coverage I saw showed someone getting a yellow for something but the comms said who cares and showed crowd shots instead. What happened? Presumably explains some of the feeling when the Argentinians won.

                                      I don't think the comment was directed at existing fans. More the detractors of the game that can't be bothered because of the corruption and histrionics.
                                      No, they won't care one little bit.

                                        Smaller population than NZ. They are some footballing country. This is not a one-off they are often in the mix.

                                        Yes and you wouldn't bet against them now beating Argentina and playing France again in the final. Their mentality and spirit really is quite something else.

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

                                          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.

                                          Just because they would all do it doesn't mean that it doesn't turn people off the game. Sport shouldn't be about play acting.

                                          Lol yeah "turns people off" by far the most popular sport in the world. Yeah gee they've got a real crisis on their hands

                                          Yeah let’s not ever try to improve anything. Why is rugby even bothering with all these rule changes.
