Netherlands v Argentina - Fri 9th Dec, 19:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[domalino]

I think Portugal have the best team in the world.

But you have to say France and England are probably next best teams.

Croatia’s midfield is brilliant but they have nobody up front.

Portugal are fixing their problems through the tournament too. They looked vulnerable at the back so they dropped Cancelo, they dropped Ronaldo when they needed more movement up front, dropped Neves when they needed more control in midfield.

 

[deano ou812]

Now it’s the Dutch turn to start fouling..

 

[Claytop]

Ota sliding in on a yellow, don’t miss that…

 

[Josh_D]

Surprised Lahoz hasn’t sent off Timber. The lahoz I know never disappoints but he has tonight…knob

 

[meeesh]

Why on earth did Fifa allow Lahoz to ref the knockout games

Imagine this ,England get to final and he’s ref,can see it now

 

[Manchester_lalala]

When we complain about bad refereeing in the PL, remember this.

This is properly bad refereeing. No control over the game, awful challenges flying in, multiple fights breaking out, booting the ball at the bench with no consequences.

Such a shit ref. It’s sucked all the enjoyment out for me as you’re just expecting the whistle to blow any second.

Croatia could do with a 2015 Jamie Vardy up top and they’d be a very handy side.

 

[Gray]

Momentum definitely with the Dutch, although it only takes one movement of brilliance from Messi

It was with them but gone into their shell.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Do McAllister and Dumfries qualify for Argentina on the parentage rule?

Scotland’s loss?

 

[blue whippet]

Why on earth did Fifa allow Lahoz to ref the knockout games

Any game, let alone a knockout game.

 

[Tb1981]

I see your bet and raise you Bridge-Ben Haim-Dunne-Ball.

To be fair Messi want relying on them to win a World Cup
God help him if he was

 

[Brewster's millions]

The subs by Argentina have been terrible

They’ve had no answer to Holland bringing on Burnley’s attack.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Nico inches from scoring.

 

[skillman]

Dont know why they dont keep battering them. Argentina have fuck all threat now.

They had 1 defender on the halfway line for the last 10 minutes. No point risking that again after working so hard to get back into the game.

What’s more baffling is how Argentina just sat back into their shape rather than carrying on playing their football.

 

[Kippax77]

They argies need to find messi now more often to win this

Lautaro martinez is not that great a player from what i have seen when watchjng italian footy, overated

Got a great massive forehead

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Argentina must be furious with Paredes. Instigated the chaos that evolved when his team was winning. Even if they go through now, they don’t stand a chance of winning this thing with players that fragile.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Dutch gone back to being boring as fuck !

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

The subs by Argentina have been terrible

They thought they had it won.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Franny ?

Yes. Against Norwich 3-0 win

 

[Len Rum]

The General!
nearly.

Never write Croatia off, very resilient and just get the job done.
