Argentina v Holland

Holland have started quite brightly, early days though.

Holland 7

Argies   1

I'm on large !

Evenin' Slippy

the dutch need a performance off Van persie tonight

This match is boring
we had 5 goals by this time last night

leopard

Argies for me, not necessarily in 90 mins, but very close

It has been a bit dull thus far.

I was being facetious, I thought last night's match side was boring Slippy
as bad a display as I seen from any team ever

I wish you luck Slippy
I think Holland will tire more as the match goes on

Extra time beckons now, I really hope Holland qualify for an all European final. The Argies have been very disappointing.

should have hit it first time

Fascinating tussle.

22 nobheads on the pitch, probably being paid over a million quid a week between them, and they can't score one facking goal.

Can you guess who layed the draw? 

the stats are pretty even, main difference is dutch not had a shot on target yet

You did Glimma

I should have stuck with my original bet on the Argies, I'd have lost less.

This has penalties written all over it. Argentina have been woeful. Germany will win this tournament.

It is Argentina who are tiring, not Holland
Holland deserve to win here..

penalties who would be favourites

I'd love an all European final.

On penalties I'd favour Holland ebulGery.

has anything happened in this game  since i switched it off over an hour  ago ?

Not really Coach, it has been very dull. Not a decent shot on target. Germany will take either of these out no problem.

like watching max Clifford watching rolf harris watching paint dry

Come on Holland.

Damn

I will probably give the final 20 minutes  of my time before reaching for the off switch


Can't see anything happening - that match last night was due to a mental breakdown (trauma) in the Brazil ranks - should have been 0-2 under normal circumstances .


see it a fair bit in games i bet on where scores  are abnormally high

1-0 Argies

1-1

2-1 Argies

Why have the dutch NOT changed their keeper this time ?

Holland in deep trouble

Argies win.

keeper hopeless

Germany will rip tham to bits.

*them*

had he used all his subs then ?

germany v argies, how wonderful

Yes pumps, keeper should have saved that.

why change the keeper for QF but not bother for SF, it makes no sense !

Already used up his three subs

Germany will put Argentina away. I'm certain of that.

Poor decision by the manager to not have a sub left up his sleeve, krul obviously a better shot stopper otherwise he would not have used him last time & its not difficult to see why either !

NL would have been harder opponents for Germany, old rivals, no love lost, and Van Haal´s tactics. If Germany neutralise Messi, which I´m sure they will, they win comfortably.

I agree with that TiptheOdds..argies maybe a trifle lucky there
Although it will still be close
I do not believe the argies will repeat Brazil's disgraceful display yesterday

I would be very careful of awarding the Cup to Germany already.

Aregentina's scores this world cup:
2-1 v Bosnia
1-0 v Iran
3-2 v Nigeria
1-0 v Switzerland
1-0 v Belgium
0-0 v Holland

Aside from the Nigeria game, they are just grinding it out and nullifying the opposition. It isn't nice to watch, but they neutralise and then wait for their chance to sting. A team with attacking options like Van Persie, Robben and Sneider and they barely had a sniff all night.

Don't take Germany's Brazil form literally - it as a freak result that if it was a horse race you would put a line through.

I think Argentina will win. No European team has ever won a World Cup in South America, it has always remained at home, and having seen off three European teams in the knockout phase without conceding, despite Germany's form looking much stronger I see Argentina grinding it out.

However, I will be wanting (cheering isn't the right word - I couldn't cheer either of these two) Germany to win.

Do the argies get to keep the trophy ( third win ) if they win it Sunday, I hope not.
What's ironic is Brazil got to keep it 40 years after the first year it was played for & now its 40 years after the second trophy was first played for, a coincidence I cannot ignore, I hope I'm wrong.

they do not, the win it three times thing doesn't apply any more




No European team has ever won a World Cup in South America - i have checked out all four previous SA WCs and you are indeed correct

Perhaps FIFA cannot afford to make a new trophy

No European team has ever won a World Cup in South America, it has always remained at home.

correct and that was my reason for not backing
the jerry's at the start of the comp.(a whole £5 bit for me)

But these days players are a lot fitter
and have better diets than 40 years ago

But as the say the Argies have nullified the attacks against them
but most have been reliant on one man RVP(possable illness last night) personally think been
poor along with Sneider (not been playing top class footy).

Belguim are a team of individuals.and the Swiss a good hard working bunch of players

The Jerry's have no real stars(see nike advert)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XviR7esUvo

i will go for the Jerry's if as in the past they make Messi a bystander
think we will know after 15/20 mins.

(a whole £5, big for me)
