Support NeoGAF

[WAR recon zero]

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

[speculawyer]

Tall guy thing worked.

 

[Omiee]

We fucking deserved to win!! cant wait to beat argentina as well

 

[Fleischsack]

Chapeau LvG, Chapeau. An other kind of a "joker".

 

[Ingeniero]

Balsy move by Van Gaal, congrats.

Brasil - Netherlands finals is inevitable now.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

No more Concacaf.

It's now The Americas vs Europe... right?

 

[KHlover]

what position were you playing in that win of yours?

You are a celestial body made of salt, but unfortunately there's no image of that. So a salt lake has to do.

 

[FootballFan]

Awwww rvp and his daughter.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Argentina is in South America.

Argentina, people forget that North and South America are connected by a narrow stretch of land

CONNECTED BY THE REPUBLIC OF COSTA RICA

.

 

[Subliminal]

Why? How is it different than rooting for a team?

It is really weird though, the BBC I think did a bit about it in the pregame yesterday. It's completely alien to any European to root for 'uefa'. It just doesn't make sense to support a country just because they're in the same confederation. Which in CONCACAFs case is a pretty corrupt and shitty one.

 

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

The usual suspects roll into the last four. I can't wait for Brazil Vs Argentina in the final!

 

[carpediemdp]

Would be sweet if we get a Germany Netherlands final.

Hopefuly!

 

[Gallbaro]

Supperior Dutch Height Wins!

 

[macksplack]

It's crazy outside...fireworks and shit.

 

[GingerNathan]

CONCACAF's hopes now lie with Argentina.

Netherlands deserved the win.

Lol

 

[oni_saru]

NED GER final dream still lives!!!

Even tho I was team NED, i really did not like Krul's attitude. Taunting the players was super douchey

Badass goalie tho.

 

[Jasup]

Costa Rica had a great run. We'll be hopefully seeing more from the team in future tournaments.


That said, I'm looking forward for the last games. Two huge matchups with a classic final looming whatever the pairing will be.

 

[Daigoro]

anyways, congrats Costa Rica. it was a great ride. you guys did really well this tournament and should be very proud.

 

[Cheeky]

40 years after 1974 the dream of another NL-GER final is real

Goddamn, i am hyped at this idea.

Or rather let people cheer for teams however they please. Some people may be trolling with it but some aren't and there's nothing wrong with it.

 

[jtb]

dislike the thread title

penalties aren't luck

 

[daydream]

GER-NED is a great final, classic matchup right there.

What's the problem?

 

[Heshinsi]

The Krul sub fucked with Costa Rica's heads, that was some devious shit.

Plus he called each and every one of their kicks. Dude mind fucked them into oblivion. He'll be the only thing on their mind on the bus ride home.

 

[CaseyTappy]

If Costa Rica can take Netherlands to a shootout, Argentina should roll over them.

Didn't you see this match , Argentina won't play like CR so a total different game .

 

[Zoned]

this all-out defense tactic used by weaker teams is not viable, these teams have always lost out in the end and they don't have good enough forwards to capitalize on the counter attacks.

Let's be honest, Netherlands could have got their ass handed in penalties had Krul didn't show his brilliance. Football is so unpredictable that literally nothing concrete can be said about any tactics or strategies. Chelsea 2012 UEFA champions proved it.

 

[mreddie]

4. Netherlands
3. Brazil
2. Argentina
1.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

This is quite possibly the worst final I could think of.

Needs to be Brazil vs Argentina.

Worst must be foreign for best

Let's be honest, Netherlands could have got their ass handed in penalties had Krul didn't show his brilliance. Football is so unpredictable that literally nothing concrete can be said about any tactics or strategies. Chelsea 2012 UEFA champions proved it.

Let's be honest, if I was smarter and harder working, I could be a billionaire.

Van gaal subbed krul in specifically because he's a penalty badass. This tactic worked exactly as planned. Football is unpredictable, but like a game of say.... Poker, you can STEER it if you are a badass.

The Dutch won, this wasn't lucky. Dominated entire game in all phases

 

[Goldmund]

Interesting coming from a non-European perspective.

Spoiler

I'm obviously joking.

 

[FeD.nL]

crossbars, posts, 1 inch woofs, Navas stopping shots. The Dutch got unlucky in getting it in. Netherlands deserved this win in the end.

Football on tonight. Goodbye shitty teams.

First Argentina then Germany and all our demons from past finals will be vanquished, Spain is allready in the pocket

 

[$200]

Still the only team to score 2 against Netherlands

No bus parking needed c:

 

[Omiee]

Balsy move by Van Gaal, congrats.

Brasil - Netherlands finals is inevitable now.

lol brasil is shit without neymar. its netherlands germany in the finals.

Doesn't make it something to be discouraged though.

 

[clemenx]

I'd be glad with anyone winning BUT Argentina. I believe in you, Robben.

 

[jts]

Why? How is it different than rooting for a team?

I root for FIFA

Fuck the aliens.

 

[Mobius 1]

I'm starting to dread a Brazil-Argentina final.

I fear for our people on both sides.

 

[Kabouter]

GER-NED is a great final, classic matchup right there.

What's the problem?

Probably that Argentina is going to destroy Netherlands and Brazil may well beat Germany?

 

[John Dunbar]

First Argentina then Germany and all our demons from past finals will be vanquished, Spain is allready in the pocket

but you will always have portugal.

 

[LAM09]

Justice was done. Costa Rica defended well, but Holland deserved to win. Van Gaal with a masterstroke!

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Or rather let people cheer for teams however they please. Some people may be trolling with it but some aren't and there's nothing wrong with it.

In this case they can talk about the team and not the confederation.

 

[dallow_bg]

Goddamn, i am hyped at this idea.

This the final I want now.

 

[KingJolly]

Brazil is more than just Neymar. They have good players and more importantly: they're the home team in a semi-final and not German.

Really? Cause all I hear from commentators during brazil Matches is NEYMAR! HULK! NEYMAR! HULK!

The latter who isn't even that good

What? PLEASE, we do this and rep our NCAA conferences in the states.

 

[SargerusBR]

GER-NED is a great final, classic matchup right there.

What's the problem?

"A WC in South America deserves a South American final." Something like that.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Can't believe people are ranking ARG and BRA without Di Maria and Neymar ahead of Netherlands who have all their best players still healthy.

 

[daydream]

Probably that Argentina is going to destroy Netherlands and Brazil may well beat Germany?

'course. I'm saying IF it happened.

 

[NaM]

You scared bro? We coming for you next

Not at all, bring it

 

[plantedunicorn]

Brazil is more than just Neymar. They have good players and more importantly: they're the home team in a semi-final and not German.

That's the thing though they have the players but the team hasn't played that great. They've been extremely lucky and they haven't really played that well throughout the tournament

 

[Ganzlinger]

Van Gaal made the right call with Krul. Deserves to be praised for that.

But he could have done better in the 90mins... he should have sacked one of the three defenders to put a forward instead of replacing Depay. And Huntelaar was a better option than Lens imo.

 

[Aiii]

JUSTICE!

Costa Rica and their non-play can kiss our asses!

 

[MrS]

Didn't you see this match , Argentina won't play like CR so a total different game .

Yeah, Netherlands will actually be playing against a good team when they play Argentina. Netherlands have done a good job of riding their luck but beating Argentina will be a step too far for them IMO.
