Huntelaar. I actually supposed with a friend of mine that van Persie shouldn't have been selected.

And yet another one of those kicks from the left side to the outline by the Dutch instead of onto the heads of their players.

Germany's just run rampant over teams with shoddy defending whether that's due to being crap (Brazil) or sending offs (Portugal). Against other teams they've been more ordinary. Both these sides have competent defences. Germany would still be favoured but it'd look more like their game against France or something.

I consider that it has been a good game. The thing is not to let the other team score which both have been accomplishing well.

Argentina seem to have brought the old national team Messi to the game but when they do get the ball they seem to be, frankly, more threatening. The Netherlands seem far too complacent, without purpose despite spending so much time on the ball (at least it seems that way).

That said, NSG still thinks Costa Rica is more likely to win the cup than Argentina. And Cillessen is just playing tricks with the Argentines. Who does he think he is? Manuel Neuer?

That was probably worse than Robben's opportunity. However, Argentina now seem to be living.

Not again. I say, Argentina to win it. I don't want that, I'm not convinced either side should've won but I want the Netherlands to win.

A second over-time. I would think the players at this time would like the game to end.
