Be interesting to see if we see Krul again if it goes to penalties. Surely will.

- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Extra Time.
Germany to be happy with this.
Already a day late and now extra time.
Dutch have had 2 extra times in a row now too.

Am I the only one who thinks Sabella's a bit shite? Has made the same, predictable changes all WC. Palacio 
.
Maybe I'm clueless. He just seems to lack ideas.

Right about now the suggestion of games just going straight to penalties sounds good.
Robben and Sneijder much more into it, Holland defending well. If there is a goal in ET I fancy it will go to them.
Be nice if Holland got somebody other than RVP in the box.
Not a great game this. Nervous/sloppy by both sides. Vlaar having a great game though
Well, I don't know about you but I've enjoyed this game
Clueless how some think this game's been boring. Enjoyed it a lot more than the second half yesterday.
Will he keep the Sub till then ? Or bring on Depay/ Huntelaar ?
Piss poor match, Holland finally started attacking in the final 10 mins, Messi is ruining Argentina's build up play, looks disinterested and not creating the space, actually quite disgraceful at this level. If Sabella had any balls he'd sub him and teach him a lesson.
This game is crying for penalty.
Vlaar has been inmense, whi would have thought?
Can see what ever team gets through tonight will be beaten by Germany quite comfortably and I'm not just talking about the result yesterday.
With teams like these, there should be a rule where the captains can just go up to each other at the coin toss and just be like,
"Penalties?"
"Penalties."
and save us all 120 minutes.

I had an eye on Messi this game.
He really is the laziest player on this planet, isn't he? I would never like to see a player like that playing for Bayern, no matter how good he is with the ball on his feet.

Feeeeecking extra-time. 30 more minutes of this.
And it is showing.
janmaat has been poor since he has come on
Clasie on the other hand has looked good

It's been a 0-0 that hasn't really offered all that much in way of excitement. Not too difficult to see why some have thought it's been boring.

Im right there with u buddy.
i am struggling to remember players who are just as shit as Janmaat, Wijnaldum, Kuyt and Blind all they do is pass backwards, and it takes them so long to actually control a ball and pass, Clasie looks like a Xavi in comparison to them seriously watching them makes me feel we are far too harsh on Carrick and Cleverley
What the hell were those subs by Sabella ?!! He lost the midfield this way !!
ron vlaar has impressed. Has effectively shutdown messi
Germany will beat both if these teams
Up until yesterday it had been 28 years since one team won a WC semi-final by more than one goal difference (exception for Italy after extra time in 2006).
Cagey games are the norm here.

Everytime Wijnaldum and Kuyt have dared to play an attacking pass Holland have benefitted. Yet they seem intent on running back, and then passing back everytime they get the chance.
Stellar acting by 'Arry there.
Dirk has been very good all game, not fancy just good decision making and positioning. Vlaar too!
We prefer the term "follically challenged".
Exactly. When you're as good as him nine times out of ten you can get away with it, tonight though he's been disgraceful. Holland have literally just put someone on him and he can't be bothered to make the space for his team mates to find him. Part of me wants Holland to win now, he doesn't deserve to win the WC if he can't be arsed to play for it.
Still incredible how comfortable the Dutch are compared to the stars of Argentina.
So who's given a more accurate impression of Hadrian's wall, Mascherano or Ron Vlaar?
What a garbage match. Says alot when the best players are Vlaar and Mascherano.
Think it's been enthralling personally from a tactical point of view.
If this goes to penalties then Holland will win. I'd take Van Persie off if I was LvG.
Demichelis still shite then?...
Watching this sober is no longer possible. Only alcohol can improve this match.
The dutch will score in ET.
Wonder if we'll get another one of those annoying early extra time goals.
