Di Maria has been disappointing, Higuain has only performed well today, Aguero has been injured and only played in that ridiculous system in the early stages, and the other players really aren't very good. 

Kompany should have been sent off for that challenge on Lavezzi earlier, horrific.

Did you see him get annihilated by Higuain? How he's still thought of as a world class defender by some will always remain a mystery to me.

We aren't going to get another fun game this tournament guys.

He's definitely still world class, actually.  It happens with every great defender, people start noticing every little humiliation and blow every domination out of proportion.  Yes, Higuain nutmegged him when he went in wildly as the last man, but he won the ball cleanly at least three times.

Courtois celebrated that save at the end as if it meant anything   

I fell asleep shortly after the first goal and then remained asleep until extra time in the second half.

I had a half dream that Germany went 1-0 at about 85 minutes.

Good to see Van Persie speaking out against racism. Don't know what Uruguay would have done if they'd reached this stage.

Probably complain to FIFA

Even if the Americas do not win the tournament, they have had many of the best individual performances.

I wonder what that nasty little scumbag van Persie did to the Costa Rican player at the end there.

He gently caressed his shin with his studs.

From what I gather, he stomped on his opponent's leg in the challenge.  Nothing surprises me with this animal.

Bottling it in a big match yet again.

Shamelessly tried disguising his error with simulation.

Some of these refs, fucking hell, you'd need to kill someone with a chainsaw to get sent off.

QFs been terrible tbh

Martins Indi picking up where de Jong left off in last year's final.

Holland will lose if this goes to pens.

If the shootout against Greece is anything to go by, then certainly.

RvP's most meaningful contribution was a block on a goalbound shot.

Don't think I've ever seen a GK sub for a shootout.

I've never. Good on the Dutch though keep Costa Rica scoreless for so long. Better than their Italian and Uruguayan comrades.

Would be pretty cool to see Costa Rica in the semis, but I hate seeing the attacking team lose.
