NED vs ARG

[DCWat]

Was a strange replacement for Wood in the circumstances, without altering our style to accommodate the swap…

They couldn’t have been more different.

I still don’t think it was a Dyche signing.

[Spiral]

I still don’t think it was a Dyche signing.

Aye, too young for that.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Ironic that it’s Dycheball that has so rattled the Argies.

Agree though he isn’t suited to it.

The Premier League was a bit tougher than this though, the defenders in this game are good but not the big tough style we get in the PL every week. Still not convinced Wout would excel in the PL but done great tonight.

[Stayingup]

Its hilarious this. Some numb feckers. Wout wasnt even a Dyche signing.

Isn’t Martinez a PL player? Hasn’t Otimendi played in the PL? Is the GK a PL player?

Where wout is concerned, a lot of fans who were wrong about him not being good, are just too stubborn to admit they were wrong.

[Croydon Claret]

Being super tall didn't immediately make him Peter van Crouch

Yup. Argentina are playing a defender who is literally two inches taller than Messi.

[Stayingup]

Wout looks like a decent striker when he's not playing Dycheball

Hilarious. Is there a specsavers in Leeds?

[Spiral]

Isn’t Martinez a PL player? Hasn’t Otimendi played in the PL? Is the GK a PL player?

I think Crosspool's general point is sound. PL defenders are generally bigger and stronger on a week-to-week basis than this lot.

Romero, Otamendi and Martinez aren’t like the defenders we got in the PL every week?

Can’t speak for others, but yeah I’ll say I was wrong about him. Never too stubborn to hold my hands up if my opinion has altered.

I think that’s as much for me about seeing such a new/different style at Burnley though and how a player like Weghorst can fit into it as anything the player himself has done, if that makes sense. I don’t think he’d ever suit Dyche’s system - but Kompany’s I think he would excel in (at this current level for us anyway, for sure).

Has anyone said he's not good enough? I don't know, I'm just asking.

What I do know is that he wasn't suited to us and how we played at the time.

His attitude was disliked.

[Tricky Trevor]

7pm kick off and the first half of ET ends at 9.23pm. What is going on?
As an old fart I can remember when the Saturday 3pm kick offs were on the teleprinter from 4.40

[martin_p]

When or has a Burnley ever scored 2 goals at the World Cup finals

Billy Hamilton in 1982 against (I think) Austria.

[KRBFC]

Referee just gives Messi every free kick

[jrgbfc]

I'm pretty sure Dyche didn't have much to do with the Cornet or Weghorst signings.

[boatshed bill]

I still don’t think it was a Dyche signing.

The failures never were.

[jedi_master]

The Dutch just need to get to pens now.

Ref is trying to give the game to Messi.

[KRBFC]

Dutch had Argies rattled, unable to control the ball and on the ropes. Now they've just reverted back to the slow boring pass around defence crap.

[TheFamilyCat]

Its hilarious this. Some numb feckers. Wout wasnt even a Dyche signing.

Maybe not but perhaps Dyche should have realised he had a good player on his hands and played to his strengths.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Jonathon Pearce should just pack up and live in Argentina.

Goodness me he's full of shite.

[jos]

I think the commentators want the ARG to win!

[KRBFC]

Ref giving Dutch **** all

[Stayingup]

Maybe not but perhaps Dyche should have realised he had a good player on his hands and played to his strengths.

Even more hilarious.

[Rileybobs]

I think Argentina resorting to sh!t house tactics and parking the bus far too early in the game played a huge part in Netherland’s come back to be fair.

He was coached in Dycheball by the best Dycheball coach in the premier league for half a season so he'll be more suited to it than the rest of the Netherlands team

[jedi_master]

Ref literally making free kicks up here out of thin air.

[boatshed bill]

Is this ref for real?

[Croydon Claret]

Jonathon Pearce should just pack up and live in Argentina.

Goodness me he's full of shite.

Ironically his name would translate to Juan Peron

[Rileybobs]

Jonathon Pearce should just pack up and live in Argentina.

Do they have Robot wars in Argentina? Guerras des Robots.

[HahaYeah]

It was the deification of Brazil now it's the diefication of Messi. It's needless and pathetic.

[tiger76]

Jonathon Pearce should just pack up and live in Argentina.

Goodness me he's full of shite.

The Messi love in is getting tedious now.

[jedi_master]

Argies asking for hand ball when it clearly hit VVD’s head.

[Spijed]

Why have the Dutch decided to park the bus when they had control of the game.

[claretburns]

I think the commentators want the ARG to win!

As Martin Keown would say "Argentinia"

[tiger76]

Is this ref for real?

Hope to goodness he doesn't get either of the semi-finals or final he'll ruin them with his constant card waving.

[Rileybobs]

This has been one of the most entertaining boring games I’ve ever seen.

[claretburns]

At the end of normal time I thought Argentina have no one to blame but themselves due to them trying to hold onto the lead.

Now Netherlands will have no one to blame but themselves for going back to the boring, slow, passing style.

[Zlatan]

Pearce is a terrible commentator. He nearly Messi’d in his pants when Messi touches the ball. And the ref… absolute joker

[Tricky Trevor]

This ref is a nightmare but no surprise he regularly is in the CL.

[Spiral]

Do they have Robot wars in Argentina? Guerras des Robots.

How the hell have I gone all these years without realising he's Robot Wars!!!

Oh my god I can't take this game seriously anymore. I'm just sat here waiting for Sir Killalot to come on and lance someone.

[dermotdermot]

Nearly scored a third there. Oh, wait a minute, it was his own goal.

[Rileybobs]

I’ve not heard Pearce wax lyrical about an individual perfomance like Messi’s since Matilda’s semi final win in 2001.

[jedi_master]

Post!

He's convinced that every time Messi gets the ball he's going to score

[Spijed]

Has Weghorst touched the ball in extra time?

Best post ever

I was always more of a Chaos 2 fan.

[HahaYeah]

Will Weggie take the last penalty........and win it for us ..i mean the Dutch.

[taio]

Has Weghorst touched the ball in extra time?

Yes.

[Spiral]

Has Weghorst touched the ball in extra time?

Just cost me a fiver the prick. Hate him even more now.
