Blistered that kick for Argentina. Up by 2.
Amazong save by Martinezā¦twice ā¦
Oranje claw one back. Can Argentina match them?
They can. Argentines with Lautaro Martinez yet to kick, too.
Weghorst up. Converted. Argentina can win on the next kick.
And a miss! Fernandez ran half a mile to take that kick.
The Dutch must convert this next one.
Frenkie as easy as you please.
Surely Lautaro Martinez to take this? It is.

I mean of course it comes down to the final kick. Holy crap!!!
Ref just keeps handing out yellow cards because itās part of his routine now.
OMG drama. Squid game energy here.
Oh well. Fought for what weāre worth. Too bad!
Crazy game
Not much doubt. Martinez is a fantastic kick taker.
Feel bad for the Dutch.

What a game. Messi gets another life here.
Giant keeper didnāt make a single block.
Canāt get a better game than that (as a neutral observer). Dutch gave everything out there
Argentina squeak through.
I think Croatia can take them.
Hot take: Gigantic keepers have wingspan but sacrifice a little quickness and agility. It takes a little longer to get all that length moving or to feint and misdirect.
Commiserations to the Dutch. But those first 2 pens were poor, waist high and not in the corner. Perfect height for the keeper once he guesses the right way.
Argentina roll on after almost throwing it away. Did they collect the most yellow cards in a World Cup game? That was mad

Looked like he had the one that hit the post, if it had been on target. Or at least he was right there.
Length clearly isnāt everything, especially when you pick the wrong side. Argentina goalie picked his corner well two times, and that seals it. At least it was a good game, that is a bit of a consolidationā¦
Yeah Iād agree with that.
That 1st, in game, Argentina penalty though, some.hot bs
Messi and Montiel both got the keeper shifting his weight one way and just tapped the ball the other way. Turning around 6 feet 8 inches of keeper is like trying to maneuver an aircraft carrier I guess.
