Judging by mr lvg this morning at training he agrees with you. Couldn't less arsed if he tried.

Dreadful game. He should field the fringe players and so should brazil.

Be great if Brazil got another leathering.

Looking forward to the Brazil anthem in a capella, tbh. Should be emotional.

cant LVG just get the assistant to sort it and fly to mancunia to commence opperation reverse£#%&!up

Don't understand the point of it at all.

The FA Cup don't have a third place place off ffs.

The Big man not happy about this £#%&!ery tomorrow night

"I think this match should never be played," Van Gaal said.

"I've been saying that for 10 years. It's unfair - we have one day less to recover than our opponents.

"But the worst thing is I believe that, chances are, you lose twice in a row and a tournament where you've played so marvellously well you'll leave as a loser after losing the last two matches. There's only one award that counts and that's being world champion."

Need Robin to play and score as I have him to be top Dutch scorer

Not a chance he'll risk him. Holidays for Robin now, getting a proper rest before the season. Will you get half the odds? (£#%&! all probably, but still...)

Must be the worst game to play in for a footballer. Third place play off ffs :shakehead:

Awful state of affairs, being brought out to be mocked

In other news may as well stick this here (haven't seen it before as the match crushed the life out of me)

Watch the ball after Vlaar's penalty is saved

RON VLAAR FALLA PENAL PERO LUEGO INGRESA EL BALÓN??? ARGENTINA VS HOLANDA - YouTube

Shit. £#%&! me that would have been funny. It didn't touch Vlaar did it?

They do it in certain Olympics events as well, play off for a Bronze medal, cruel. Do they even have an equivalent award for the winner of this match? Do not think so.

Would have preferred the Dutch to go out in the QFs' let Van Gaal get to his main job.

Nope, the line stopped it - on such fine margins

Got him to score 5 or more.

He's been on 3 since the group stages

You sure? it's very close to him when it balloons over. He goes to whack it then realises what's afoot and gets out of the way. Not sure if it doesnlt glance of him though.
Would have been £#%&!ing mayhem if it had gone in

It hit Vlaar, quite substantially. Another replay shows this.

Not that obvious, imo

Imagine if it went in and they won
