That set piece was gold. I’ve never seen that before. Seems like something you’d see way more.

We almost did something similar in extra time against Belgium in 2014 but Dempsey's shot was saved.

They seemingly haven't developed a world-class defensive midfielder in a while and have never been able to get Higuain to finish chances in major competitions. Add to the fact that they never could figure out a way for Tevez and Messi to play together nor Aguero, who was perpetually injured right before major competitions, it's a big failure if Messi doesn't get some silverware, but the Argentinian FA needs a lot of blame. They should be a technical side on the par of European teams, but instead they field a team that can be technical but also is a step above CONCACAF in shithousery.

SHE is 5-6. And maybe not a dime.... actually a huge pain in the arse. Figuratively not literally... I think Netherlands wins on penalties

An in prime Mascherano would make a world of difference on this team.

WTF happened? I saw the BS penalty and the Messi Pk. Thought no way the Dutch could score 2 so I went outside to hang Christmas lights. Came back in and it's tied! LOL
