Nice, getting inside his opponents head. That wins games

 

[gil23]

GIving too much credit to that dude..the two pk he stop were baddly taken....only two dudes tried upper corners and he had no chance.

 

[captaincrown3]

what was Krul saying?

I saw he went up to all the penalty takers.

Trying to throw them off their game?

dude guessed all of them right too.

I didn't even watch the second half. I stopped watching after Memphis got sub'd off.

gamesmanship. i already can see  where you are you shooting, is  what i could interpret

[miketysonthekiller]

OJO

Man, since 1970 there have been 24 spots in the World Cup final. And those 24 have been filled by only 7 teams:

Brazil

Italy

Germany

Netherlands

Argentina

France

Spain

Over a 44 year period! Insane how consistent the major powers are. Sometimes there are surprises in the semi final, but never for the final.

Disgusted

you need at least 1 world cup to be a major power breh.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Even though they never won, The Netherlands are arguably a top 5 nation in the history of the sport.

And in terms of individual talent, they are probably top 3. Insane how many world class players they've managed to produce consistently considering the country's size and population.

If you only look at winning, then Spain, Uruguay, France and England

are ahead of The Netherlands. Germany won a World Cup less than Italy, but I still consider them easily ahead of Italy because of their amazing consistency. And if they go on to win this WC, I would consider them ahead of Brazil as well.

 

[sfc415]

Honestly, as long as it's not the Dutch I really couldn't care less who wins the WC now

As far as possibly winning the cup, let the hate flow Robben diving his way to the final.

yep.

The only thing holding it back from claiming true footballing glory is not having the WC on the shelf, but they're a top tier nation regardless of that.

 

[DeadsetAce]

don't blame robben one bit for diving time in and time out. until the refs and FIFA do something about it...play on, playa

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Robben has long been the player people love to hate.

My 10 year old son doesn't even like him.

 

[mr marcus]

"Diving his way to the finals"

 

[townbidness]

Dont get why robben get so much hate, i can name so many players that dive more than that man.

 

[AZwildcats]

I don't care who wins the WC, but I just want a better final thatn 2010. That's all I ask

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Argentina vs Oranje has a lot history ('74 & '7. Oranje will look to seek some revenge...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

di Maria out for the remainder of the WC with a muscle tear in his right thigh...

 

[rck3sactown]

Aron Johannsson is our 6-8 weeks with ankle surgery....

 

[meyer lansky]

Sneijder looks like a hooligan from a Guy Ritchie movie...

 After having watched Snatch a couple of weeks ago for the first time, I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[halftime]

So Kroos to RM is official?

Damn man that's a huge blow for Argentina and us as fans of the game. Semifinal is gunna be missing something without him.
