Because the Germans are going to win the World Cup. The Netherlands (pick a name for fucks sake) and Argentina have some World Cup history against each other, with the Dutch having lost to Argentina in the 1978 Final by a score of 3-1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ckp3hoodE Meanwhile this is the first time in 24 years that Argies have made it to a semi-final. In the opinion of this esteemed poster, the Dutch will win, in order to set up yet another awkward Runner's Up Canal Boat Trip. Then the Argies will beat Brazil in the novelty third place match and all will be as it should be in the world. Here are the match's advanced stats:

Semifinal match 2 Refchat Netherlands x Argentina Ref: Cuneyt CAKIR (TUR) AR1: Bahattin DURAN (TUR) AR2: Tarik ONGUN (TUR) 4th: Jonas ERIKSSON (SWE) RAR: Mathias KLASENIUS (SWE) Whereas Marco Rodriguez might be known for a couple of different reasons, if I had to guess why TRP might remember Cakir I'd probably only need one thing. 1) Of course, he's actually sent off a number of players involving English teams/players in the recent past so any of these might have worked as well. Balotelli against Kiev, Terry against Barca, Gerrard against Ukraine, and Cahill against Corinthians Anyway, Cakir has had an excellent tournament. IMO his performances have been second only to Webb. Hopefully this translates into a very good performance like yesterday with Rodriguez. There were a couple of things here and there you could pick out but overall Rodriguez was very good. Cakir is 37 and so would be age eligible for 2018 and 2022. If Irmatov didn't exist and he has a good few years, I'd say he would be a frontrunner for the final in Russia, but we'll just have to see how it all shakes out over the next little while.

Robben is leading the tournament in DzDiB (Danger zone dives in the box) and BTpM (blood transfusions per match), he's a loving doping diver (i see him rollin, i'm hatin)

As much as I like Argentina, the only thing that could possibly top Germany's vicious bumming of Brazil would be Argentina doing the same thing in a 3rd place play off...

I honestly don't care who wins. It will probably be a poo poo match anyway, both teams cagey and defensive and then someone will score from a set piece and we'll all make a face.

Anybody out for this match due to yellows or injury? Is Aguero back?

I'm guessing lots of diving, a few cards, and a marginal victory for the clog wearers at 90 mins
