GWT: World Cup - Quarterfinals - Netherlands v. Argentina

If you read some of the posts @Duchene2MacKinnon made before the US match about how bad the Dutch are, it's obvious he knows nothing about football.

Lucky we have you to enlighten us

The Dutch are clowns, always were.


Not sure what either have with my post but ok.

I didn't like the Dutch coach trash talking the US team after their game. He was a sore winner. Now he is a sore loser whose team deserved to lose.

I didn't see the whole game against Argentina; mostly saw the first half, but I agreed with the refs calls with the single exception of his call against the bench. I didn't hear what was said. I can only assume that it was more than the usual dissent!

Messi hurt Weghorst’s feelings?

These two teams go way back.

Nice free kick goal.

What’s really funny is I don’t remember saying anything bad … I like the Dutch and what they have done for footy. Clearly not their best team and I think most of their fans would agree.

Crazy match, that Dutch set piece is something I have never ever seen before and will go down as a historical play. Great trick play. But, Argentina really showed their thuggery in this match and I wasn't really even cheering for the Dutch. Nonetheless, the antics Arg displayed really were a turn-off and I found myself being an Orjane supporter by the end of it. Now I don't care who wins, just as long as Argentina loses I would be fine.

How Argentina did not finish the game without a red card is absolutely mindboggling.

While not exactly the same, I've seen iterations of this kind of free kick twice in WC.

Sweden in 1994



And Argentina against England in 1998



What made this one so different is the absolute balls to try this in the absolute last second of the game

I kind of love it. How many times have we seen players sky free kicks at the end of the game?

Oh I agree, but imagine the criticism if the pass gets intercepted at the wall and the ball gets booted into midfield to end the game lol

I understand the reaction of the Argentines, of course, you can't justify it, but I also think that the Dutch got what they deserved.
