Kuyt went for the knockout.
Day 23: Netherlands vs. Argentina
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Beat England in 1998.
I think Messi will have to change and adapt his game. Clearly not been his great self since the injury.
Wow, that was a nasty hit. I felt it all the way over here.
matches vs England don t count
I've seen him out wide for the dippers. He can do it. Not the greatest at it by any means, but he has done it.
Bruce Buffer with the official decision.
Kuyt tackle there was interesting. Quite hard.
Red by Cakir standards ?

I read something like 16 (probably not all on senior level).I love how everyone is saying that but I've yet to hear how many penalties he has faced.
He has something like 70 games in his career, half for Ajax, who probably don't give away many....
I wonder if he's lost any teeth

16 I think they said earlier.
Cillessen has saved none of his last 16 penalties.
Safe to say he's due one.

Story of this world cup tbh, apart from Germany. That is also in part what made it so exciting and unpredictable early on. Apart from Germany I don't think any of these teams will be memorable.

Contributory factor to messi's poor performance today?

Won't beat the keeper from there anyway.
Might as well.
What a pointless shot
Hunterlaar is so handsome
I deleted the previous post.
This is the second time Argentina and The Netherlands have gone to ET - 1978 Argentina won 3-1 after finishing 1-1 at 90mins.

Messi is not on Maradona level, no leadership no passion.
Messi's been saving his strength for the penalty shoot out
Arrogance without passion.
Yep, question is, can Messi come back from his off-year and return to his record breaking best? Does he have it in him anymore to have a tournament like Maradona in '86? I fear not.
I'll be quite pissed off if one of them scores now.
Vlaar with the composure.
So basically both these teams strategy is to win the cup by kicks, or the odd luck. If they play this tight against each other, God help us when the opponent is Germany.
So Maradona never had an average big game in his career then?
He was in around 2011
Tevez should've been picked. He's got all that in abundance.
I dont remember either keeper having a shot to save.
5er on holland to win in ET lets go
I agree that Argentina have been a bit average in most games but the teams they've been facing were even worse. They haven't exactly had the thoughest route to the semis and aside of the spectacular scenes here and there Messi has hardly been a constant threat in these matches. He did pop up in important situations though. But I heavily disagree with anyone who'd put him amongst the WC's top performers. Especially if you go by his standards his performances haven't been that great.
LVG knows how to get the best out of him.
Palacio 
Couldnt stand a Germany Argentina final
Unless Messi is also physic and knew this was going to happen the entire season to explain his performances, then no.
They'll be saying this of Evans, Smalling, and Jones next year.
