Over the past 2 world cups the dutch have become the most unnecessarily brutal national team in the top 10.

hoping for a Germany v Argentina world cup final.
the only 2 teams that have stayed true to their football philosophies.

Also the game desperately need Spain to come back and win in Russia.
With Pep as coach.

Cheers Foz

Argentina will get destroyed if they manage to make it through.

Argentina have been ugly to watch also mate. Germany along with Colombia, Chile have been the only teams that has played football in this tournament. Holland have dour too, so it could be a ugly game to watch tomorrow.

I thought Holland played some good football against Costa Rica.

There were more patient build ups, and long periods in possession.

#-o Another Barca fan boy.

I'm one too.:)

i hope they get smashed. Hate the way their football has gone in the last 8 years, results at all costs.

Despite the physicality they've still produced periods of better football than anything we've seen from Argentina imo, it would be an absolute shame if Argentina managed to crawl into the final with the sort of dour performances and favourable draws they've had thus far imo.

There switch from 3-4-1-2 to 3-4-3 meant that we always were going to control the game, as Costa Rica defended very deep its just that Holland were quite slow and conservative in there build up and when trying to penetrate there defence, only in the 10 minutes of normal time and in OT they started to do that.
