Argentina V Holland, World Cup Semi Final

[ChillDoubt]

So, we move to the second semi final, after last nights annnihilation.
Argentina thus far have flattered to decieve and like Brazil before(Neymar) them have largely been a one man team i.e. Messi.
The Dutch have been fairly solid throughout and I expect them to prove too strong for their South American opponents tonight.
I just hope that for such an occasion we have a strong referee and that Arjen Robben doesn't try to emulate Tom Daley.
Prediction? Not an 8 goal thriller like last night but I'll go 4-1 to the Netherlands.

No sign of Krul being readied yet, less than 2 minutes left.

[ChillDoubt]

30 seconds left. Do they actually plan on using Krul again as a specialist penalty-stopper?

[anneasquith]

oh heck..............penalties are so brutal!

[royfromaus]

Maybe van Gaal was busy playing Candy Crush and forgot?

[jim360]

Krul can't come on as the Dutch used all their subs.

What an utterly amazing game this hasn't been...

[ChillDoubt]

Cillessen trying the Krul tactics.......doens't deter Messi though.

Coolly doen by Robben.

Aguero with aplomb.......

[ChillDoubt]

Kuyt keeps them in it....just

[ChillDoubt]

All over.........Bye bye the Dutch.

[royfromaus]

Why would you send an Aston Villa centre back to take your first penalty. I think he has scored once in 4 or 5 years.
Van Gaal is not a tactical genuis then?
