This one is perhaps a bit too far.

Brazil needs a European manager, it's criminal to see players continuously wasted on low intensity games.

I mean, this will be a historic event and it's going to be such a tough one to take for Brazil, just like the Spanish losing to Morocco.

Bye-bye Brazil, was good seen ya...

Brazil nuts

I am fascinated with the Netherlands, very strong team play so far compared to Argentina as far.

 

[Silencio]

This is not a very talented Netherlands team. Louis van Gaal gets them to play solid team defense at the World Cups and ride their luck a bit when it comes to scoring. Not enough creative firepower to score a second goal with time running out to take this match into extra time.

[EDIT: WHAT. DID. I. JUST. SEE. LVG really knows how to play the spoiler.]

The score (at 101 minutes, that is, ten minutes of added time) is two all, a goal apiece, now, though.

Looks like we are heading into Extra Time......

 

[tobefirst ⚽️]

Is that the latest equalizer in regulation time ever?

 

[yaxomoxay]

What an incredible scheme by Netherlands.

 

[RA1N1]

That fight on the pitch was stupid from both sides, just wasn't necessary.

Baseball brawls are better.

Is it me or the ref is just… bad?

No, not just you, he is really bad.

 

[Silencio]

Pens it is. Would be wild to see both Brazil and Argentina bow out on the same day.

No, it is not you.

Ah, penalties.

Bring on the popcorn.

For a neutral, this has a certain compelling attraction.

 

[RA1N1]

This isn't a good start for Netherlands' penalties, now they lost the 2nd penalty shot.

 

[RA1N1]

Congrats to Argentina! strong play from both teams I have to say.

 

[Silencio]

Two really good saved by Emi Martinez made the difference in the end.

Tomorrow's games have some very tough acts to follow.

I am already dreading tomorrow's games, excited, frustrated and terrified.

Martinez is an excellent goal-keeper (and I have long thought that Arsenal should never have sold him).

However, today's games ought to (finally, further) reinforce the idea that teams should be advised to practice taking penalties, and to practice the taking of penalties, especially when they are tired and stressed.

I expect Shaolin Soccer stuff.

Shaolin Soccer

Good and very funny movie! 🤣

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Wow! 🇦🇷 Argentina is going to Semi finals 😮

I just want to give Kudos to AKE- he played great
for someone who went through the Chelsea ranks all these years.
The Dutch did make this match interesting.
