Serves the Dutch right tbh, why, just why would you send a big brutish blunt instrument like Vlaar first, stupid that was.

as a neutral, i am not sure either side deserved to win, both refused to commit to win the game.
As a City fan i couldn't be happier for OUR Argies
 
Not sure if anyone else pointed this out but the Dutch had one of the most overrated runs I can remember. Let's recap:

- Spank Spain to start - extremely impressive, can't take that away, they could've scored 10. This was their peak, however.
- Next, they scraped by fucking Australia. AUSTRALIA.
- Then they beat Chile in a game where they've both already qualified, although to be fair Chile are a good team and it was for 1st place in the group. But still, not exactly the highest stakes.
- Takes a dive and a Mexico collapse to eek by in the round of 16
- Then, here's the kicker - They don't score a goal for the rest of the tournament!!! 240+ minutes against Costa Rica (who played their hearts out looked impressive but can you get an easier Quarterfinal?) and Argentina.

Yes, van Gaal is a tactical genius alright.

Crimson Clive is doing his best, isn't he? they've overachieved, Van Gaal heads to Manchester with his reputation enhanced etc. They played well once (Spain), were disciplined against Chile, and crap against Australia, Mexico and Costa Rica. Very average tonight.

The only thing he has done of note was the Krul substitution. Wasn't a brave move, at all, as he couldn't possibly lose. He just sent Krul on with the instruction to be as unsporting as possible - he'll fit the rags like a fucking glove.

Exactly ,apart from that freak result vs spain and aside the individual brilliance of robben,there.hasn't been any master strokes of the.so called tactical brilliance from LVG as the media claim.This love in with anything regarding united and liverpool ,certainly drives me crazy at times.

Messi will never be a player he has been year or two ago. There is quality there so we'll see some moments of brilliance but he lost his explosivity and that was half of his game,

To be fair Demarcus Beasley and Georgios Samaras had very good tournaments.
