World Cup 2014: SEMI FINAL Holland v Argentina 9/07/14

If van Gaal actually ends up doing the incredible and taking this Dutch squad to the World Cup Final, he won't get an ounce of praise; instead it will all be about how 'negative' he's been and how he's supposedly fluked his way past average opposition.

Lovin it, you know these bitches are hurting and in absolute dread of Big Louie

Got to be brave in this game, pal.

LvG to break the Argentine hearts tonight

2-1 to the Dutchies.

yeah, i'm hearing the perse is out too. hopefully then he'll recover in time for the new season at united.

can see argentina winning 1-0 in a pretty dull game, and then holland going on to get 3rd, which wouldn't be too bad when you consider that aside from van persie, robben, sneijder and huntelaar they're a pretty average side with a fair few inexperienced players. which is a statement of how good of a manager van gaal is, that he has taken them this far.

it's been a decent taster of what to expect at united next season.

They're probably still seething that Holland have got this far and can't wait to make the completely ridiculous comparison between working with a limited amount of dutch youngsters and Manchester United.

£#%&! 'em. They were all poised with their blogs all written ready to hit send last time, then the mad £#%&!er blindsided the lot of them and sent Krul on.

They had those ready with a few minutes to go against Mexico, tbh

anybody else think that LVG is just playing mindgames. a "stomach bug" something which someone can easily recover from. RVP will play , think lvg is just trying to mess with the heads of the opposition

Robin starts

Holland - Cillessen, Kuyt, Blind, Vlaar, De Vrij, Martins Indi, De Jong, Wijnaldum, Sneijder, Robben, Van Persie

Argentina - Romero, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay, Rojo, Enzo Pérez, Biglia, Mascherano, Lavezzi, Messi, Higuaín

should be a cracker, dont mind who wins tbh.

will go for a draw in 90 mins. hopefully going to pens.

Earlier today de Jong was out of the world cup, and Robin was out for the game - now both start. Aloysius' mind games

Hup Holland

Buzzing for this. Totaalvoetbal Reds.

2-1 Holland.

this will happen...i think. either that or 1-0 in normal time. just can't see this being very high scoring at all.
