Arg - Ned - arguably my fave WC goal

[TeaCider]

That pass from Messi was outstanding.

Fantastic goal too.

let’s hope for another like this tonight.

Any excuse to see it again

It's the best for me. Not just because of the skill involved, which was incredible, but the fact it was the winner very late in the game. It had everything.

Scored a similar one for Arsenal v Spurs I think.

I really don’t think Argentina are any great shakes. Thought that after the first few games, still looks like it now.

Obviously Messi is capable of genius at any moment but those moments are much more rare than before. Other than him, they’re very one paced, not that creative and I’m not convinced by a few of their players either.

Reckon this side of the draw is giving us the losing finalist.

Really don’t understand why Holland reverted to the style of play that saw them go 2-0 down when they equalised

I appreciate Argentina started attacking again but being as tall as they are, Argentina were struggling to contain their direct style of play

They threw players up front when they found themselves in a **** or bust scenario and that all changed when they became level - they had it all to lose again and would have been vilified by the dutch press, etc. if they had continued in that vein and got beat.

Dreadful player

I think it was v Leicester.

You are wrong on this mate. Best world cup goal was Jonny rep v Scotland in Argentina.

The problem was going back to that made it more likely they were going to concede again .

The Argentinians hit the post on the last minute too

I don't think you are understanding the **** or bust scenario they found themselves in and only a fool would have continued playing in that style with so much at stake. Argentina would have got more chances if they had.
