After the messi pens I considered going back to sleep, thankfully I stick to the end, what an amazingly entertaining football match
Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Phew ! Happy Argentina went through. And I really didn’t want the possibility of another European semi-final line-up.
Yeah, always comes across as a bit of a prat on the pitch. Can’t otherwise put my finger on it but I’m not a fan of him.

So the shithouses go through.
Van Dijk 
The better team won, I think. Incredibly entertaining game in the end.
Apart from the Messi assist and the last Dutch goal, the quality was poor but overall it was a World Cup classic.
I'm only happy for Lisandro. Go on then.
Whats up with Davids and Messi?
The ref in this game was atrocious.
Lautaro looked so relieved a few minutes ago. Had the guts to step up and won it.

Nope, they're going home.
Croatia vs Portugal in the final
A shame the Dutch refused to ride their momentum for the third goal. The Argies were there for the taking.
I think I wont be able to take another disappointment from a penalty shootout. Japan, Brazil and Dutch can go and do one.
Would like to know what Davids was saying, looked somewhat direct and not necessarily congrats.
What a match! Had it all.
17 yellows, what a time to be alive.
You think. I know.
There was no quality from Argentina aside the assist for the opener, either
Don’t quite get this level of tension in the CL. The fact the World Cup is only every four years really adds a insane amount.
Great game. Feel sorry for Netherlands and LVG. Argentina though, fecking hell they are unlikeable. Happy for Licha though.
VVD was awful
Messi falling over
Not a great game

Happy for Lisandro. A World Cup semi finals!
Missing him for us but hope he enjoys it.

Ronaldo vs Messi storyline still has some legsFrance v Argentina in the final

So we’re looking at an Argentina vs Portugal final!
Morocco England semi-final wouldn't be bad.
Emi Martinez in a shootout is guaranteed entertainment, hopefully Croatia play for penos again.
I can read lips. He said:
“If I was out there I’d have broken you, you diving cnut.”
Yeah I'm hoping that happens now.
The Dutch are cursed when it comes to penalties. So many bad memories from their feck ups.
Top, top entertainment.
Best team won. Well done Argentina hard luck Holland.
An epic.

Thank you... After the amazing netherland goal for the 2-2 I just turned it off. Started working (I came to my work office. It's a holiday here but I HAD to watch it here) and started trying to work with heavy metal music so freaking loud.
After 20 minutes the internet went off, and I started listening the neighbors screaming goals often and thought SHIT, penalties.
And then I heard such a strong scream with fireworks and I thought...we won, thank god.
They've only got themselves to blame. Reverted back into their shell and didn't give it even half a go in extra time.
Netherlands after getting Argentina on the ropes, revert back to sterile passing which originally lead them to be be 2-0. Well deserved to Argentina, although I hate Paredes, Dibu Martínez and evidently the snake.
No.
Even if Portugal win, Ronaldo has been on the sidelines. Argentina never make it this far without Messi. That match is over.
I expect the same from the Argentinian ref tomorrow. Didn't he sent off 7 or 8 players off in an Argentinian game? Racing VS Boca or something
I thought Michael Oliver was awful in the Croatia vs Brazil game but this Spanish ref took it to new levels. Talk about wanting to be the centre of attention rather than allowing the game to flow. This whistle happy bloke couldn’t keep his yellow card out of his pocket.
