    It's been excruciating mate. Just side to side passes in the middle third with no penetration whatsoever for 100 minutes... Iran v Nigeria was bad but they hardly have the same quality as Argentina and Holland. I can't think of any game that has been worse than this really?

    Plenty of attempts on goal in your average SPL match; the quality on show here, the intelligence in probing and repositioning, the great reading of the game by the likes of Masccherano, the flashes of great skill from great players and the tension too, all of this makes it enthralling IMO.

    Not to mention the Argentinian fans.

    Everybody Argentina has played this World Cup has shat it big time and went into defensive mode. The Dutch have done to them what Mexico done to the Dutch , sat back and tried to catch them on the break.

    Nigeria aside though, a thought they had a good go at them.

    A honestly wonder what game your watching if you blame the Argies for this game:smiley-laughing002:

    I reckon it's alright to watch if you're Dutch or Argentinian. Not great for the neutrals.

    If you think this is *, you're missing out on a lot of the stuff that makes football great.

    Aye, Argentina aren't the problem. They're not the greatest to watch but it's all about how the Dutch have set up tonight.

    Perhaps. I enjoy being entertained in football matches, this is far from entertaining - to me anyway.

    At least the Germany match made me laugh.

    Agree it's been crap overall mate, but not the worst. Hardly any chances for the amount of talent on show.

    Penalties are going to be tense as * though, even for the neutral:icon_mrgreen:

    What? 110 minutes of tedious passes in the middle third with no penetration whatsoever? Aye that's great

    For the quality of player on the park, the quality of football has been virtually non-exsistent.

    Really disappointing.

    Sums it up for me.
