The attacking players on for the Netherlands are a bit shite. They will have to rely on Lurch
Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
If the pattern continues it's Messi 5th and he will not take it because they will have lost before.
Argh the tension. Don't particularly want either team to lose either...
Is this lottery or a crap shoot? I can never be sure which it is.
Crazy that we could potentially end up seeing both Brazil & Argentina exit the World Cup on the same day. The two big favourites for this World Cup.
Noppert is gonna be the hero
Another roulette then. Fancy Argentina tbh.
Another penalty shootout. My money is on the Dutch, their goalkeeper seems to be better and calmer.
Enzo Fernandez, great talent, shit tattoos.
What a brilliant day of drama.
This is definitely the type of ref to make a penalty retaken
I think LVG has prepped for penalties, with this in mind.
The Dutch GK is so tall that I think Argentina cant win this on pens.

Agreed. And tall as feck.
With a name like Noppert, you're born to be a hero
They are doing wonders with such a limited team by their own historical standards, though? Croatia just have that as a gameplan (and it works!).
For the Messi fanboys including Lineker that'd be golden.
Really thought Argentina had this but I dunno, fancy the Dutch to come through here
Really accurate summation of this match.
Fancy Argentina here. Messi to get the winner.
Me too end of the road for Argentina and Messi IMO, sad because I wanted them to win the trophy.
Still England in the tournament though but France are France.
Virgin will miss
VVD is hitting this into orbit
Yep. I don't see any top Dutch players on for this responsibility
Indeed there are different ways, but how can someone find the basics of football boring?
That's all I'm asking.
One bad call hus
I said I'd rather watch a Brazil-Argentina semi than Croatia, yes. Good one, though, funny stuff.Who was crying for a Brazil-Argentina semis ?
They can organize something among the « deserving teams ».
@Jev
Here we go….
Van Dijk taking the first?
Middle
Hope Holland win
Messi's missing it again?
Nah, it’s basically a given for Netherlands. I’d happily put a grand on them winning the shoot out if I was a betting man. Argentina and crap at pens and the Dutch have pedigree there.
I thought Argentina were really good given how good Netherlands are defensively.
Shame to be losing great teams and players to dull footy via penalties.
I bet you’re fun at parties
LIVERPOOL MISS
Martinez is a great shotstopper
Oops
save!
Just why??
Good save
Dafuq, Virgil?
What a save.
