Why didn't holland play extra time like they played the last 10 mins of normal time, lucky to get to penaltys.
This is why Van Gaal got booted out. He had Argentina on the ropes, he had 4 giraffes on the pitch against a 5'6" back 4.... and what does he do...
So the Dutch do fk all for 90 mins, then change tactics for the last 10 mins of extra time and boom salvage a draw with the Argies unable to cope, and then the Dutch change back to the tactics they'd been fkn awful with for extra time again, pure madness. I suspect Croatia will have seen how they floundered under the high ball and go for it. And why is it Messi gets away with a blatant handball and no booking when a player got booked straight away for exactly the same offence earlier, absolute bollox.
If he was booked for that and another foul from behind shortly after he wouldn’t have been On the pitch at the end but the ref was weak
I already suspected it before but todays games have confirmed it for me. The winner of us v France wins the whole thing.
Believe it or not I've had the same thought since we were booked to meet in this titanic head to head..
Where did the myth that Messi is humble come from? He’s just as arrogant and petulant as Ronaldo but doesn’t get half the vitriol for his attitude/character.
Always got to be a baddie It’s Messi who uses his influence to get managers etc he wanted at Barca and for Argentina Doesn’t fit the narrative tho
