Ronaldo Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Van Persie's not the player he was 2 years back. Be a mistake to try and build a side around him at OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 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. Robben tried to do something when he got it. Van Persie stood there offering f*** all Not difficult to spot the difference, no idea how Baba could put them into the same bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 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.

Guest Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Should've had Krul on again. Easy to say now, but it's not like Huntelaar did anything for them. I've seen nothing that makes him stand out ahead of Krul all tournament. Might as well have started him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Ah well, we gave it our best shot and it could have gone either way, but unfortunately luck wasn't on our side.

r0cafella Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Argentina are going to get mullered if they play like that. To be honest I think they were very solid. Yup thought Garay was immense. Well be wasted in that wasteland known as Russia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was better than the half-fit Van Persie who likely touched the ball less than ten times and Sneijder who kept whipping free kicks out of play, but it was easily his worst match of the tournament. What did he really create for anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Imagine letting the best player in the world take your first pen in a World Cup Semi instead of a centre back from Aston Villa when you could have had Arjen Robben. ul louis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not exaggerating here but Sunday is the defining day in Messi's career. He's always been compared to Maradona obviously but the fact he dragged his team to win a World Cup has always been thrown in Messi's face. Sunday is his time to put that right and prove his greatness. Absolutely pivotal game for him and his eventual legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sig worthy, I'll tell my kids, grandkids and so forth all about the fact I was there, the day Brazilian football got bummed big time on home soil. We'll be back Mike, someday that Confed Final from 2009 will be replayed but in a World Cup final. The Dutch were pretty gash this evening but they'd be more deserving finalists than the Argies for me. They have been quite abysmal in this knockout stages while the Argies have been very solid in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
