If you're going to put in a negative performance like that then you should probably try to be better at the penalties you're playing for.

Never thought I'd be so pleased with an Argentina win

I'm with you SF. Holland are an almost completely reactive team.

Hang on, Argentina were just as negative. They'll try the same v Germany on Sunday.

Can't agree with that. Argentina played with much more intent, they just weren't particularly good.

Good riddance to the boring Dutch. Van Gaal and Krul, you won't be missed. What an absolutely rubbish game.

Not in extra time they didn't.

Anyway, I hope we all want Germany to win it now.

I stand to win £55 if ARG take the trophy, so I feel a bit conflicted.

Same, apart from the conflicted part. Couldn't give a stuff about either team so will be voting firmly with my wallet.

Just checked, Holland have scored 12 goals in the tournament to Argentina's 8. And Holland had a far harder Group.

One of my staff had both Germany and Argentina in the office sweepstake so she gets the entire pot.

Uke Which part of the gnat is the chuff?


It's something I have considered for many a year.


And if you're feeling "chuffed" where does that fit in?

Yes, they had a harder group - this meant that they had teams coming on to them instead of playing for a draw.

The moment they've come up against numerous defenders, competently organised, we've had the less than exciting spectacle of the Mexico and Costa Rica games.

I don't think at any point in the entire tournament has Argentina had the space to attack that Holland had against Spain.

Holland did far far better than anyone expected. They will get a positive reception when they return. I thought they tried harder to win the game during extra time than Argentina. They will still have to play Brazil ofcourse, that will be interesting.

Don't really care who wins now, but I did pick Argentina at the start.
