Support NeoGAF

[Eidan]

Looks like Argentina is the last team I can support. Messi, deliver us from evil.

 

[Veins]

Fuck that noise. First, he didn't dive for that penalty kick, and second, dude's been one of the most exciting players in this World Cup. Damn near everytime he touches the ball he's been a threat.

Yeah there is always a threat he'll go down.

 

[Acorn]

Concacaf bandwagon well and truly dead.

 

[dakun]

ok if the refs don't help Brazil, Germany is the favorite to go to the final..

Germany against either Netherlands or Argentina for the World Cup is a great fucking final to have

 

[Grover Cleveland]

...Go Holland

Turn out the lights, the CONCACAF party's over
they say that all, good things must end

Call it a cup, the party's over
and in four years starts the same old thing again

.

Still with all the joking, it was a great WC for the confederation. Another step forward for North and Central American football

 

[Kabouter]

I'm really glad that in the end football won, rather than anti-football. I was worried this was going to end up being a Euro 2004 thing.

Edit:
Also, holy shit how did they not sub Van Persie like in halftime? Did he do anything right all match other than the PK?

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

Serious question: Can Robben cross a ball?

 

[John Dunbar]

They didn't do shit. 1 shot at goal in 120 minutes

that one shot was better than anything netherlands produced.

 

[Chezzymann]

In the end, there were no surprise appearances in the semifinals , Brazil- Germany , Argentina- Netherlands.

No surprises in the round of 16 either.

 

[DukeBobby]

Better team won, unfortunately.

How is it unfortunate that the better team won?

 

[TheOctodad]

Robben will meet his Bayern Munich teammates in the finals.

 

[sabertoothzombie]

Congrats to Netherlands.

I didn't want them to win, and Costa Rica taking them all the way to penalties was amazing, but it's hard to argue that the better team won

 

[Amandeep]

Welp, time to support Germany.

 

[darkmagus]

Costa Rica, go home proud!! you did a great World Cup!!

 

[clemenx]

meanwhile @ Argentina

What? why? Lol I'd be crying because Costa Rica didn't advance.

 

[chrizzz09]

Fuck that noise. First, he didn't dive for that penalty kick, and second, dude's been one of the most exciting players in this World Cup. Damn near everytime he touches the ball he's been a threat.

Yeah because of his diving

 

[artist]

Better team won, unfortunately.

Its unfortunate for ARG

 

[Andrefpvs]

I'm really glad that in the end football won, rather than anti-football. I was worried this was going to end up being a Euro 2004 thing.

Seriously.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Argentina v Brazil or Argentina v Germany pls

 

[LiquidMetal14]

JUSTICE IS SERVED

 

[IN&OUT]

Krul is MOTM lol

Shit, Netherlads will still be diving to the next round

The will dive trying to catch up Messi.

 

[Hrothgar]

Krul the master. And lol at the people saying you really need to hate your GK to sub him. Everythimg for the team!

 

[Fbh]

Well thx god.

Argentina vs CR would have been incredibly boring

 

[Deadman]

Wow van gaal, wow

 

[iqubal]

So glad Netherlands won. That Greece style of football irritates me.

 

[D4Danger]

I hope the final is either Brazil vs Argentina or Germany vs Holland.

Only a rivalry will do

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

That was a crazy game to watch. I salute both sides.

NED has my endorsement in the semis.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

One step closer to a Germany vs Nederland final!!! Yessss

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Holland V Germany. BOOK IT

 

[Vishnu]

CONCACHONCAGAF WILL LIVE FOREVER.

DEAL WITH IT BRO.

CONCACHONCAGAF IS DEAD!!!!

DEAL WITH IT BRO!

NED deserved this 100%

 

[potam]

Man, I was hoping Costa Rica could have pulled it off, just to see them keep going, but either way this was a pretty entertaining game, if not a little boring most of the time.

 

[FootballFan]

stroke of genius on the part of the Dutch manager to sub the keeper prior to penalties.

The Costa Rican must've been thinking "wow that guy must be a specialist in penalties"

Putting fear into the players minutes before the shortout even started.

Van gaal. What a genius.

 

[Clegg]

Commiserations to CR. Defended so well but just lacked a bit up front. Could still have nicked it though.

Van Gaal has just slapped his mickey all over the face of this tournament.

 

[CaseyTappy]

Serious question: Can Robben cross a ball?

If you put him on the left flank he can .

 

[Disagree Guy]

Gutted isn't the word. Would love a true underdog story.

Imagine the possibility of brazil v Argentina or Germany v holland final?

Wow tho

 

[Kabouter]

Oh, before I forget:
Knock it the fuck off with the inter-confederation bullshit, it's more than a little obnoxious.

 

[Always-honest]

Argentina v Brazil or Argentina v Germany pls

Nah, just Netherlands vs Germany.

 

[plantedunicorn]

I can't believe Van Gaal's tactic worked. It just seemed like the craziest thing to sub your keeper before PKs

 

[SgtCobra]

Vanavond gaan we drinken verdomme.

 

[Owensboro]

ok if the refs don't help Brazil, Germany is the favorite to go to the final..

Germany against either Netherlands or Argentina for the World Cup is a great fucking final to have

I really want to see Argentina vs Brazil, just because the stadium atmosphere would be incredible and it would probably burn to the ground after the match.

 

[GingerNathan]

Calling it now Holland Germany final.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Di Maria is out of the world cup with a thigh injury

That means Aguero comes on. A good sign imo.

 

[NaM]

Looks like Argentina is the last team I can support. Messi, deliver us from evil.

Don't worry, if he wants to be the best player in the history of football he has to win. And he will.

 

[DukeBobby]

Guess I'm rooting for Germany now.

*sigh*

 

[Diprosalic]

In the end, there were no surprise appearances in the semifinals , Brazil- Germany , Argentina- Netherlands.

Netherlands the only team left with 0 WC.

 

[Wind's Howling]

GAF. I am not afraid to admit.. I cried when we won. The emotions...

 

[KHlover]

I'm really glad that in the end football won, rather than anti-football. I was worried this was going to end up being a Euro 2004 thing.

Edit:

Nope

 

[The perfect Dark]

Holland V Germany. BOOK IT

So ist es!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

that one shot was better than anything netherlands produced.

Ia this a joke? NED dominated this game.

 

[Majine]

I think either Germany or Brazil takes this.
