Day 23: Netherlands vs. Argentina

As long as the refs keep not giving clear free kicks (and penalties) like that when the player doesn't dive to exaggerate it, players like Robben will (and have to) keep diving. The refs are just as much part of the problem as the players.
 
It's no wonder Robben goes down easily. Clear foul, not given. You'd be inclined to go down easy when decisions go against you like that.
 
This is a pathetic excuse for a game of football. Both semi's have been in their own way.

At least last night's was fun.

I mean honestly, both these tarts sitting with a block of 6 that won't leave their own half. Just feck off.
 
Kuyt was allegedly an attacking player once.

And I know I miss-posted this in the Blind thread earlier.
 
Both teams have been shite. Defences have been excellent though.

Can see the final being a borefest despite the Germans performance in the last round.
 
Kuyt is just so awful. They deserve to miss the final for playing such a donkey. Shame on Van Gaal for not finding an alternative.
 
Messi has passed by a couple of players here and there, but doesn't seem to have the energy to carry the ball more than 10 meters and releases it poorly without passing lanes. He's knackered, as many other players are, that's the biggest blight of World Cups these days.
 
Stating the obvious but robben really is something else. He has shown much more passion and desire to win the match for his team than messi has for his. He has not stopped running all match.
 
Kuyt is the ultimate definition of Defensive Winger, he always goes on the inside even more so than Ashley fecking Young and i used to hate him for it imagine how i would be feeling right now.
 
Lol this guys suggesting to take of Messi in the semi final of a World Cup in a goal less draw, ffs.
I haven't suggested anything, but he's playing turd and doesn't look like he's fully fit, so it's not an outlandish suggestion.

Are you capable of adult conversation?
 
Bit worried about van persie for the start of the EPL. Looks shattered and very slow. He needs a massive break.
