Brazil having to face Argentina in the 3rd place match would have been epic IMO. Oh well.

 

Would've have had as much intensity as a fucking kick about in the park.

 

Can only assume they keep it so non-football fans will be more likely to buy in to sweepstakes at work.

Rubbish match. Perfect final. The world's best team against its best player. I much prefer this to watching a team that has been ahead for what five minutes in the knockouts and failed to score in 240 minutes. Credit to Netherlands for getting this far, but it seems they've done the absolute bare minimum to win in the last three games. I think Argentina will take this now. 2-1 with a goal from Messi of course.

Should've had Krul on again. Easy to say now, but it's not like Huntelaar did anything for them.

 

Should've just started him - not seen anything from Cillessen to suggest he's the better overall keeper, and pens were always a strong possibility.

 

Agree there tbh.

Feel sorry for Robben. The only Dutch player trying anything going forward. Van Persie was a disgrace in the knockout rounds. Mascherano was f***ing outstanding

Robben was as quiet as Van Persie for the vast majority of the game. Both of them received absolutely nothing in terms of service. Their play going forward was broken.

Argies will sit back for 90 minutes and look to pick off Germany's suicidal high-line. They were shite tonight but I reckon their name's on the trophy.

No, those playoff games are always s***.

 

Nah, Brazil would have been under pressure to make up for the farce yesterday. Add to that the fact they'd be playing their major rivals, and the likelihood Messi would have rinsed them, and it would have been tense.

Was the game of the tournament 2010.

That tells you everything you need to know about that World Cup.

Yup considering they practically played for pens.

This World Cup couldn't get any worse. Just hope Germany do their job, predicting a difficult 2-1 win. Hope we can seal a win against Holland to save face without pressure.

Idiotic not playing the Krul "super penalty saver" card. Set up the mind game perfectly if they put him on again in the sense Argies might have thought "oh shit it's the penalty keeper". Instead they keep on the keeper they told the world was not good enough for penalties a few days ago. As much as Van Gaal was lauded for his Krul trick, he should be scrutinised the same amount for his shit choice this time around.

 

All that said though, I'm happy the Argies made it through. Hope the Germans will steamroll them in the final, though.

Robben tried to do something when he got it. Van Persie stood there offering fuck all

It's funny like, if Newcastle had bought Sergio Aguero before the tournament and you knew nothing about him, you'd be convinced we had another Guivarc'h on our hands. I know he's not been fully fit like but then Suarez was fresh out of his wheelchair. Aguero's been bloody awful.

Knew that was coming. It was a cracking game.

:thup: Not difficult to spot the difference, no idea how Baba could put them into the same bracket.

I've been disgusted with Holland since they inserted Kuyt into the team, at friggin wing back. What an abomination of a footballer.

 

Happy they got bounced, just for that. Why they felt the need to start playing him I will never know. They looked fine without him in the early games.

I've seen nothing that makes him stand out ahead of Krul all tournament. Might as well have started him.
