Trending on Twitter in the Netherlands: Waar is Krul (Where is Krul). Enough said.


Netherlands were controlling the game against Costa Rica, so Van Gal could wait till the last minute to make his last substitution. This wasn't the case today, Netherlands needed to attack more and worry Argentina or else they could had scored.

I think the Brazilian death was because of a huge mental breakdown with a snowball effect, I dont think it will be as easy for Netherlands to beat them. After all, even when playing ugly, the managed to beat good sides on their way to the semifinals

One game does not reflect everything, I doubt they will go down as easily as the did yesterday. Anyway, I think its more probable that Netherlands will win.

Missed the second half and just watched the highlights. Why didn't LVG substitute Krul in? Did they run out of subs? Oh well, can't win 2 shootouts in a row. Now Germany gonna steamroll again lol.

Sucks for the Dutch. So much promise, still nothing to show for it and the 1-0 team reaches the finals yet again. I hope Germany beats Argentina. Can't have 1-0 games become the new WC winning formula.

the one to zero winning team has no tied games, just so you know... germany does, to ghana...

Only because there are no ties in knockout stages. Don't forget that the same Ghana team was one Luios Suarez away from the semis last WC. Just a very unlucky team with finishing. You act like they were just a no name pushover. Meanwhile, Argentina needed injury time to beat Iran? See? Goes both ways...

Nothing against Argentina but I had a lot of trouble watching Spain's games the last WC and Argentina has become the new Spain somewhat. It's just boring for a neutral observer like myself. I want Germany to win to see positive football prosper because I dont want teams to start seeking 1-0s as the new successful formula.

I am fine with the Dutch losing but where the hell do people get the idea that this was a deserved win for Argentina?

I guess my 'knowledge' of soccer defeats all logic.

Cilessen never stopped a penalty, WTF!!!



@Pristine, games against Argentina are boring bexause rivals are fucking boring. They all defend with 11 playera. None of them had the guts to go and play a match offensively. Well deserved for Argentina. As an argentinian Im happy about this, haters will once and for all shut the F up

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

what a cagey match it was. Both teams were hoping the other would attack for a kill and then go for a counter attack but ended up stalemating each other. I fell asleep at work watching this snoozefest.

Argentina better know that Germany doesn't play for pens.



Sweet Jesus, so sad... Now I'll need to cheer for Germany. u.u



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

To be fair they looked better vs Nigeria but still conceded 2 goals in the process. We shall see how they do vs Germany.  Germans won't be sitting back to defend that's for sure.
