Argentina, objectively, deserved to win over Holland. According to the game. Still, it was sharper and more interesting in attack. But let us note that the Latin Americans perform poorly in the final stages of matches. Let us remember that with an almost total superiority of 1/8 over Australia, Messi and company almost missed the second goal at the very end of the match, a miracle in the face of the goalkeeper saved the day.
In the quarterfinals they were up against a much more skilled and competent Holland team, one of the strongest, at least in Europe. Again the Argentines led 2:0. They shrank again, for some reason they went into deep defense under the pressure of the opponent. As a result, we conceded a couple of goals. 2:2 – in regular and extra time. A possible loss would be an absurd coaching mistake by the replacement, to put it mildly. not very cool Paredes. Two violations in a row, one of which became fatal. The Dutch equalized the score after an original penalty kick.
In the penalty shoot-out, one of the goalkeepers shone – the Argentinean, who outwardly easily repelled almost all the shots from the spot.
Argentina will play in the semi-finals against Croatia, which also snatched victory from the Brazilians themselves on penalty kicks. The Cheka-OGPU, by the way, was not mistaken in suggesting that elements of the South Americans’ foppery in the match with Korea in the 1/8 could cost them dearly in the quarterfinals. It happened exactly as we told our readers. In terms of its level, content, and even intensity, the game was somewhat inferior to the Argentina-Holland meeting. Foppish, often careless throws of the ball to partners still led the Brazilians to a fiasco. Although an elegantly played “wall” and Neymar’s goal helped open the scoring. However, they calmed down early. The Croats managed to respond with an equally spectacular combination – 1:1.
We have already told the fans what happened in the penalty shootout. Well, the Croats are almost world champions in penalty kicks. In 1/8 they also defeated the Japanese. Well, at least one Latin American team went further. And who can now say that history will not repeat itself in the upcoming semi-final meeting with Argentina? No guarantees…
