Argentina,
Argentina, Argentina. Yes, Argentina has won on penalties. A 4-2 victory ended
up the oranje race to the final. At last the dream of Argentina to play in this
year’s final has come to a reality. the story went over after a goal-less draw
in 120 minutes time. The Oranje played very well but did not manage to see the
net at all. Robin Van Persie was not in his normal form we are used to see.
The
Argentinian defence blocked all the balls from reaching Van Persie. He was so
lonely in front. The Argentinian defence also managed to block all those
harmful dribbling from Arjen Robben. They only lacked the normal play making from
Lionel Messi as he normally play at Barcelona.
Robben neary
scored in the extra time but Mascherano denied him the opportunity. Although he
did not shine as when he plays for Barcelona, Messi made an impact by his
presence on the game. Van Persie was replaced by Huntelaar to try to have
another attacking alternative for the oranje but Argentinian defence was very
keen to stop their opponents. Both teams defended very well and no wonder they
ended up with a 0-0 draw. We expected Krul to replace the number 1 keeper
before the end of extra time, but this did not happen.
