Think germany will make the finals, while argentina havent impressed anyone. Think you have played good and organized against stronger teams so anything could happend. Just hope you dont lose yet another final, that would be devastating for you.

Netherlands should be able to beat a costa rica who have had to go through to the quarters by playing 120 minutes of football and have had to endure a penalty shoot-out using a lot of energy in the process. Would be really disappointed if Netherlands failed to make it to the semis.

Most probably not, but because both players are equally at fault for creating the danger the refrees are on those type of incidents left to their own sense of judgement, but your not honestly expecting a referee to give a penalty for dangerous play in the world cup knock out stages? Had he...

It is herrera who makes it dangerous for himself by heading downwards, if you watch the replays you will se that vlaars leg is slightly above his hip level. Even though i found the penalty against marquez imo to be quite harsh, the replays show that there was...

Totaly agree about the robben part. While it is a team sport and every player deserve their fair share of praise for winning, they would be massivly weakened without Robben, and i doubt they would make it this far. As for management though i was realy impressed of both the spain game and...

True, but i bet 75% of the chances netherlands have created involves robben blasting through a defender. He is having an incredible tournament.

The Netherlands at the world cup 2014 so far is the very definition of a one man team.

Van persie did not look fully fit at all. He bareley run and when he did you could see that something was wrong and somewhat rigid.

Barely touches his leg. No way that is a straight red, but the Uruguayian player do what they all do best and provokes the card.

worried about this as well

absolutely terrible refereeing. Under no circumstances was that a penalty, someone barley touching your arm doesn't give you the right to go down as if the force of a thousand stars are pulling you. And dont think it was foul on the Brazilian keeper either, it was a loose ball which both players...
