Pretty even to be honest.

Nice cagey affair, couldn't say either team deserves the win at the moment, as very few opportunities!

I really don't understand this? Are you saying Holland are the better team?
The Netherland's team was always poor but LVG is doing a good job

Argentina however should be bossing it but don't look anything like a TEAM

But you have to factor in the opposition Mr P. Sometimes they don't let you do the things you want, and a coach like LVG will have worked hard on it.

I don't think the tempo's been slow, I just think tactically no quarter is being given by either side. I think Argentina have shown more intent than Holland generally but Argentina know the peril of sleeping on people like Sniejder, Robben and RVP.

I'm enjoying tonights game much more than last nights, last night was like watching your neighbour beat his dog.

Yeah appreciate all that. But I think each side not wanting to give an inch tactically has removed any hope of seeing some fluid football. I don't think I've ever seen as many back passes as I have tonight.

Perhaps my original assessment was flippant and I know what you mean, its interesting from a tactical perspective for sure.

Agree that Argentina showed more intent in the first 80 minutes or so.

You have to take every day and give it 30 mins.

If you're a pro taking a pen it should be like us going control z.

Of course fuck ups happen. But for that wage it should be expected.

Can we not just skip the next 13 minutes and go to penalties.

Hope Holland win. Germany vs Holland could be a cracking affair.
