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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Losing finalists last time round

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.

Yes, really odd the way that, having taken control of the match by lumping it forward to their big units, the Dutch completely shelved that tactic during extra time.
Credit to the Dutch for their late comeback, but Argies deservedly won - much better throughout the match, save for the last 10 mins or so of normal time where they completely lost their heads.

How can you say that when the game was decided by penalty kicks, nothing more nothing less.
