Argentina won a shootout in the Copa America last year. Maybe they won’t be too bad if it does to that.
Fun fact: it was mentioned by the German commentator that the Dutch keeper Noppert, who was a total no-name before the tournament who van Gaal pulled out of his hat, makes the same amount of money in a year as Messi in a day, about € 200,000.
Lautaro Martinez not having a great tournament, he should be able to chop that far post.
Argentina been looking very dangerous since Di Maria came on
I’m going to have a heart attack.
Cheeky corner attempt by Di Maria there!
And then Fernandez hits the post!
Holy shit dude
Holy shit!
Oh so close
You hangin in there?
Full credit to Argentina ; they were sensational in the last ten minutes.
Christ. Both my teams have been knocked out, and this might be my favorite World Cup ever. Well, second favorite anyway, besides the one my team won.
I wouldn’t want to stand inside @Frodo 's shoes now. I know how this feels.
The last second Olympico would have been icing on the cake. PKs is unfortunate.
And it is penalties.
Normally I would feel frustrated about games going to penalties, but this game has been full of emotions and with the second goal of the Dutch featured one of the most astonishing goals I have seen in my life.
I have loved this game. Lots of yellow cards though.
Argentina found their chimichurri in the last ten minutes but couldn’t quite do it. Tenterhooks…
NL fails to score! Great block by the Argentinian goalie.
Messi scores! Argentina 1-Netherlands 0 so far.
Two great saves! Both not so easy.
The Argentinian goalie is inspired today! Another failed PK for NL!
