Including the ones warning that football will lead to the moral decay of the USA?

(Nope, I'm not joking!)

Oooh, another chance! Just like the buses, wait ages for one and 2 come at once!

I vividly remember some of that. Despite being very unimpressed by the way Argentina had played throughout the torunament, I was disgusted by the diving and simulation of injury which successfully led to Germany's victory in the final, a stain on the world cup.

Gary Lineker pointed out that Maradona played in a era where you allowed to kick lumps out of opponents, Messi is, thankfully in a generation where flair players are more protected.

I wish both these sides could be eliminated tonight.

Mascherano has been a total beast.

I saw the 86 world cup film, some of the tackles on Maradona were awful, you could see where the studs had gone into his legs

Klase and not classy...although neither are both

I take the point but they were the better side in the match and the best side in the tournament - plus you can't overlook Argentina's two red cards and the way they bundled the referee after the second one was shown.

Mascherano and Vlaar have been outstanding.

Handbags at dawn

Think Argentina will win the penalty shoutout.

You mark my words,

Van gaal will use an outfield player, possibly Huntelaar, or a CB, in goal for one of the penalties, possibly against Messi.

Pens!

Awful, awful, awful.

penalties it is then.

Only 1 minute of added time? That Argentinian player was down for a while.

Oh bugger, hurry up I'm shattered

Cillison will need to show everyone now why he is the Dutch No.1

No change of goalkeeper for Holland???

I'm not getting these 3 hours of my life back, aren't l?

and i was right!!! penalties

welp
better get comfy .....

Penalty Time! after the ads

let's hope someone can get ball into the net!

So much for my early night!

So... Netherlands could reach the World Cup Final without scoring a goal for 240 minutes.
