Quarter Finals

Functional is a kind way to describe this Dutch team. Not much inspiration at all.

“Lace his boots” always reminds me of this clip

He's the greatest of all time. End of story.

Pitches were quite different too!

Purer grade of snort and all

….Argentina play like Mourinho is in charge.

 

[DanEFC92]

Ref not booking Messi cause it's Messi. Man's a clown.

NL are struggling badly.. can't build any sort of momentum

….Argentina play like Mourinho is in charge.

Dutch aren't exactly trying to score either

 

[Amw79]

How does Messi not get a card there.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Know it is Messi but no yellow card for the deliberate handball is wrong

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Dutch have been very unimpressive

I thought the US might beat them but they looked decent in that game. Look average again now

 

[davek]

Handles the ball = no card.

Lol.

The ref is as bent as a none-bob note.

It’s like a game of chess
If chess was played by 22 intellectual fukwits

You are honestly suggesting Baggio was as good as Messi? I’m not doubting he was a world class footballer, but not every world class player is as good as Messi, come on. This fella has been completely rewriting the record books and redefining the game for years and years consistently, it’s nothing other than nostalgia bias to say Baggio or anyone else from that era was on that level.

Baggio in his prime was on another level

Even whilst basically crippled he got Italy to the Final in 1994

He was definitely World Class

I'm not saying he was better than Messi, but he'd give Messi a game, and if he'd not had the injuries he did then who knows

Someone will come along in the future, there's always another

 

[evilwebby]

Dutch still haven't had a shot on target yet have they?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Bottled that final ball
