The 2nd semi final match of the 2014 world cup between
Argentina and Netherlands was always going to be tough for both sides.
Argentina coming through the group stages has always been improving game by
game. For the Netherlands they have been in fine form coming through the group stages
and are also favorites to make it to the final. First half was a close game
with both teams being cautious , but it
was Argentina that looked the more treating with most chances coming their way.
Both first and second half ended goalless and from that point the game had
penalties written all over it. Extra time went by and we moved to penalties.
Two great saves by romero and 4 expertly taking penalties by Argentina proved
enough to make it into the finals. The shootout ended 4-2 in favor of
Argentina, this means the grand finale will be between Germany and Argentina.
Here are the highlights,
Reactions from the fans,
Have to admit, Mascherano was a beast today. Best player on the pitch. Messi was anonymous. #ARGvsNED
