Nice tackle on Robben there

Yeah, I thought he would get a free kick first.

You could really feel Netherlands keeping the pressure the last three minutes.

Here is my highly technical assessment of the 90 minutes that were just played:

Argentina should take Messi off and substitute in Robo Messi from the Samsung Galaxy S adverts.

Bring on Krul!

 

I want to make a word joke about "Arjentinians" and how "Krul" is pronounced similar to "cruel", but I can't think of anything. Too bad.

At least it's been more interesting football after the first 90 minutes.

Argentina is really dangerous right now.

Netherlands done in by their nemesis, the penalty shootout.  Argentina wins the privilege of losing to Germany.  The Dutch will have to settle for beating Brazil.

They should have had Krul as goalkeeper. :/

Bringing in Krul wouldn't have made Sneijder and Vlaar not miss, so can't blame Cillessen.

 

In any case, I'm proud of the boys. They gave their all, did much better than anyone expected, and only lost on penalties.

 

Now let's see if the Germans can beat the Argies with the same superiority they showed against Brazil.

 

As for the match for the 3th place. Meh. Who cares?

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Agreed on everything you say.

 

One consolation is the fact it is now much easier to decide who to support on Sunday, go Germany !!!!

Prepare to watch Argentina nullify the Germans and then winning by one goal or on penalties. This will be a cue for more crying and despair from Brazilians and, also, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Germans losing on penalties would be something. At least Germany can count on the home support

The Germans are being way overrated when, by my estimation, they had much less to do with the Brazilians imploding than the Brazilians themselves.

 

Also, I always expect a team that wins so hugely in the semi finals of a major competition to go on and flop into mediocrity in the subsequent final.

Well of course it was more Brazil being crap than Germany being outstanding. Not sure why the Germans seem so flatter thain in 2010, I guess age of the team ?

Heh, funny how all the 'crap' and 'overrated' teams made it to the elimination rounds. People must have especially rosy memories of past WC tourneys.

The longer it stays 0-0, the better Argentina's chances. If Germany scores early though it might become a massacre.

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

It certainly won't be another 7-1, but Argentina are so poor I can't imagine them winning, it would be like.... well, like, well, 2006 Italy. 

 

Yeah, mostly it's my hope that for once, a good team will win the bloody thing.
