Right, Kluivert. Jeez, you guys are tough. I was sure you'd be impressed...and somewhat taken aback.
Missed 118 minutes of the match because of work - just arrived home to watch ET end and penalties begin. Not a bad time to come in!
I always feel for a keeper when he guesses right but still can't quite stop it.
Nowhere seemed to be showing the game here, so been following the text updates.
Arse.
If Argentina were playing as boringly as the text updates made out (the game seems to have mainly been 2 hours of uneventfulness), they could struggle against the Germans.

Welcome Argentina ... und auf wiedersehen.
What a bummer.
I really, really wanted the Dutch to win this.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been one of the analysts for the US broadcasts. He responded with class but the dude looked totally crushed.

Good.
Robben's son was crying his head off--couldn't even look at his father. I felt for him.
I thought it was a good first half. In the second half Argentina went flat and the Dutch had the ball without creating much danger. Still, there was a lot of tension so it was a good match to watch.
Nah,
Dutch vs German or
Niederländisch vs Deutsch.
Just imagine ... if Arg won this thing, would they be a worthy world champion the way they've played so far?
Never ever IMO.
Was all a bit meh... They cancelled each other out, thought the Dutch defence in particular were excellent, (Vlaar was superb) but so were Zabaleta, Mascherano (don't believe I'm saying that) and Demichelis made some excellent tackles as well.
Lottery of course in the shoot out, but I don't think either of those teams are going to be concerning the Germans tonight... and they have played 120 and penalties and a days less recovery time.

I'm well aware that Germany has the best team, but I don't care who deserves it, I'm rooting for the American team to win this tournament. The worst thing about Brazil losing is that it forced me to root for Argentina.
Germany all the way for me, Argentina have not been impressive and I will go for the team playing the best football, exhibiting the best teamwork and playing with discipline.
Geography is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned I want a good team!
