Have to admit I have been impressed with Dirk Kuyt - always seemed to have been an underrated player for club and country but he does a terrific job in whatever position he plays in. Almost 34 years old but still plays like he did 5+ years ago.

Lavezzi and Perez have been the standouts. It's like an open door for them down the right.

Argentina are playing the far smarter game by lying deep and forcing the counter attacking Dutch to try and break them down instead. I'm not sure the Dutch have the wherwithal to do that.

Thrilling

They should have gone straight to the penalty shootout.

some of this lot couldn't cross a road

I think Vlaar has had a good world cup, he has looked solid

I'm not sure these two will score in the penalty shoot out. We could be here all night..

Stuff this dross, I gonna watch my DVD of Brazil v Argentina from 1982- some proper entrertainment!

Both scared to lose

sort of understand it ,23-22 on penalties , maybe

A fitting end would be Argentina going out due to Messi messing up.

Whoops

Poor chap

But why send him up first ?

2nd miss by Holland

All over now

I hope Germany HAMMER Argentina

The one saving grace is that I really can't see the Argentinians beating the Germans.

I think tonight's outcome has shown how absolutely pi$$poor Spain were..
