I’m glad Brazil went out as I don’t like Naymar but I do like Messi. Personal choice.

2nd best player ever behind Maradona is Messi  👍

Where have all these Argentinian fans come from? I’ve never seen them supported to this level outside Argentina.

Tremendous numbers and vocal support, England esq I’d say.

Croatia are fantastic in tournaments, you would imagine that it is the last tournament for a few including Perisic and definitely (and sadly) Modric but they have IMO the best midfield in the tournament.

Good to see the underdog win and always nice to see Neymar in tears. His goal was special but he is as unlikeable a player as you could wish to see.

Their midfield 3 tortured England in 2018.

The Croatia players manage to get so much more out of themselves playing for their country. Lovren looks like Franz Beckenbauer.

Neymar is such a talent but such a pain in the neck.

Dutch missing a forward.  As I predicted.  Should have taken my advice and brought Summerville in...dangerous and would be perfect for this situation

A lot of noise about Modric and rightly so, he’s superb,  but Brozovic and Kovacic are cracking players too.

Some midfield is that.

[DE.]

What is the Netherlands' plan here exactly? Pass the ball around pointlessly until the full time whistle goes? 20 minutes to go, 1-0 down and they're playing like they're 4-0 up. Bizarre. 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Pen, Messi, surely, Netherlands not turned up.

[simongarnerisgod]

these dutchies are a bit s h i t e

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Croatia v Argentina, interesting?

The Dutch played this match like they literally could not care less. One of the worst performances of the tournament.

They’ve been pretty crap all tournament. Very fortunate with a couple of their wins.

Only thing I will say in their defence is the Argies are bloody tough to play against. They don’t concede many chances, let alone goals.

[RoverDom]

Said it before and will say it again. Messi is a cracking player, no doubt about it, but the commentators and pundits constantly are cringeworthy beyond belief with how they talk about him. 

[chaddyrovers]

Brazil was awful and got what they deserved. No dancing tonight apart from the plane journey home. 

The Dutch tonight have been poor, no shots, tempo too slow. They lacked a quality number 9.

What a crap match this is, fuck knows what I'm doing watching it. Just a bloody bad habit I suppose.

Messi must have walked at least half a mile so far.

The Dutch Disease commits suicide, they are so bad they will miss their plane home. 

* I just knew that would happen. Just friggin knew it.

The Burnley Messi has just scored a cracker.

Argentina are such an ugly side 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Why did it take a second goal to wake up the Dutch?

I think they woke up and then got the goal immediately.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Yet another shock, 2-2!!
