Garay will be ready for a physical battle with the Dutch striker but will need to keep an eye on his clever movement and hope Van Persie draws the short straw again. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Opta stats: Argentina have reached their first World Cup semi-final since 1990, when they went on to finish runners-up to West Germany.

That Dutch girl in the picture in the orange top (yes, really!) with the illegible web address emblazoned just above her ample norks is stunning.
So how does the Dutch goalie feel if it goes to ET and the Dutch save a sub only to have to use it on an injured player thus leaving the goalie in for the shoot out who the manager doesn't have confidence in.
Indeed!! I hovered on her pic a little longer than usual. Come on Holland!! (The Argie v The Germans in the final doesn't bare thinking about!)
Absolutely insane that he's allowed to continue. It should be against the rules. He blacked out. He should have to come off. According to Townsend, a player 5 yards offside isn't offside.
Agree. Medical team are cowards leaving the decision to a clearly concussed man. Let's hope they don't regret it (in terms of his health, if he plays crap and Holland win, thats fine).
Just home in London and Andy Townsend on the box ... Where's the mute button? Has to be Holland to complete a great World Cup and give us all the two most perfect match ups for the top four places German to win and I am in the money This match doesn't look like a 4-4 after extra time at the moment Messi to miss pen would complete the perfect World Cup for me
Here's a few more of her then................. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Orange and black, good colours. Lol at the argies for wanting the ball kicked back because a player had his boot fall Off.
