The game was on the TV, but I cant say I was paying complete attention until the shootout. Why didn't the Dutch keep a sub in reserve to break out their (not-so) secret weapon in penalties? That dude Krul was an animal against Costa Rica, getting up in peoples faces before the shot and then doing the business in net.
This match always seemed destined to remain scoreless and you know Krul was ready to go. On the game winning penalty the Dutch keeper made an absolutely feeble effort to stop it, although it probably would have just delayed the inevitable.
Also, I can't believe a team that has been as unimpressive as Argentina is in the final.
