Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)

To take a free kick like that takes some balls with basically no time left. If it goes wrong you look like a monumental tit
 
Think Netherlands have the mental edge here. Argentina too emotional and have lost the plot.

You love to see it. Weghorst is looking pumped!
 
Peter Crouch in yellow kit scores. But not with his head but his feet.
LVG Allardyce is a genius.
 
The Danish commentator insisting it was Martinez’ fault. Idiot.
 
What do Argentina possibly have to complain about to the ref :lol: Feck off
 
Argies to collapse afer this. completely stopped playing after their second goal. such a thuggish and limited team.

at least both are going to tire a bit before they play us.
 
Why didn't the camera show the handbags at the end there? Even the ref was getting pushed. So dumb from the camera people.
 
Funniest game I've ever seen. Terrible football but all the drama. Ref has been the worst performer of them all though.
 
Argentina team is so pathetic. Surrounding the ref now too. Show some fecking class.
 
Who was crying for a Brazil-Argentina semis ? :lol: :lol: :lol:
They can organize something among the « deserving teams ».

@Jev
 
Almost feel for the ref. Getting it from all angles, both sides, both benches, and both commentators hammering him. :lol:
 
Really stupid to give away 2 free kicks like that. You got away with the first one, you never get away with another one.

Now everything speaking for Netherlands. Like Croatia they are on top now mentally and relying on Messi at 35 after 90 minutes played will not cut it imo.
 
Argentina stopped playing after the pen, they look mentally gone.
More than stopped playing they didn't have discipline. I think grit only gets you so far and can't make up for poor performances/ quality.
 
I'm happy with this now. I don't think either team deserve to have won that 90minutes. Now they'll need to actually come out and play. Plus the refereeing hasn't been great at all.
 
Such a cheeky and clever execution of that free kick

What a game
And than scenes again after the whistle
Surely this ref is not doing more games at the WC?
 
Messi should be fresh as a daisy at least. Long ball football has took him completely out of this :lol:
