People thinking that we are playing for penalties are blind as bats. Do you not see how the defense is on lockdown, how well they are covering Robben? It is hard to pass forward so naturally you see them looking for openings alot.

Dutch team needs to change tactics - their offense is not clicking at all..

That sounds like the players have to pee on each other?? God damn they told me football is hardcore.
I think a German invented it. They are hardcore these Germans.

I love dropping knowledge here. I'm sure many people learned a lot about this beautiful game because of our conversation.

;)
 
I'm shocked both sides' defense has stayed tight enough to keep this scoreless at the half. Well done, D's. This is a great game.
 
Ref is a fucking asshole

Sneijder off and no card given.

That's true, that was a very nasty tackle. It might be the semi's but you can't card a arm hindering Messi while letting play that can seriously injure someone being unpunished.
Tough first half. Argentina was better, but get frustrated halfway. At the end we seemed to be a bit frustrated. Robben and V Persie can not be passed to effectively.
 
Let's be honest here

Does anyone see either of these two teams even putting up a fight against Germany?

Germany will demolish whoever they face
 
If van Gaal is intent on bringing this boring style of footy to the prem can he just stay in Holland, please.

What a shit match. Has there even been a chance of a goal yet, can't remember one?

It is known.

I hope this goes into extra time, I wouldn't mind getting to actually watch at least 20/30 mins of this at home.
 
who ever thought that taking fernandez and putting demichellis in would work. hes using his second chance very well. defense playing very solidly, just remember, argentinas defense is considered by a lot of us, or was at least, one of the worst in our history but they are doing a great job.
 
Match has been pretty even so far with Argentina having a slight edge. Robben and RVP are barely getting any balls which is worrying.
 
Higuain, Lavezzi and Messi were lively that half. I can't say that for any of the Dutch players. The Dutch need to tighten up their defense though cos they're going to get the burned the first time Messi is in space to run.
 
So "Parking the bus" means putting way more focus on defense than offense, right? Just making sure

No, because even good counter attack teams will play more defensive.

Parking the bus is practically parking a majority of your team into the back, minimal pressure, minimal, if any, pressure from the MF, etc.
