Worst game of the World Cup both teams deserve to go out.


Australia defeated themselves against the Netherlands. The Netherlands didn't know what to do. These two teams also had a terrible 0:0 in 2006 in the group stage.

German 3rd keeper Zieler also had a very tough time stopping pens for Hannover. Only once in a cup penalty shootout did he stop one.

Needed more Tim Krul. ](*,)

I'm really disappointed, but it Serves Van Gaal right for parking the bus. On the other hand, he got the best out of a squad many had written off.

Well done Argentina. At least we get to see Messi play in a World Cup final. Should be a beauty.

Oh well. Would have been funny to see an all European final in South America.

Let's hope Germany get an extra star.

The Dutch will be very disappointed. They have an expectation much higher than Australia and it must be increasingly frustrating for them to also get so close.

Argentina will challenge Germany. They might even take the lead. These teams have recent World Cup history. A good final two to fight it out.

Not at all, apart from Robben & Van Persie they have a very average team with a few young up and comers. They should be thrilled with this team to finish in the top 4, potentially 3rd.

I agree with you in saying they have got the most from a fairly limited squad but you kind of just proved his point exactly.

The only team to be really effective against this formation of the Dutch was Australia maybe down to the power and pace of Leckie.

180 minutes plus extra time of Quarter & Semi Final football with the attacking force of Robben & RVP and they could not kick a goal in open play and one of those games was against the lowest ranked team left in the tournament. Sums up their current mindset at the later stages of the tournament.

They dived their way to this stage and glad they did not make it as for sure they would be playing for a shootout in the final or even worse a Robben dive would have decided it.

What a snorefest. First game all tournament where I dozed off and on.

These games need an early goal to get things cracking.

Both teams concentrated on not losing instead of winning.

Hopefully there's an early goal by the Germans to bring Argentina out of their shell.

Yes.

I wanna see these two have some balls and attack FFS. I won't be able to stand another stalemate world cup final.
