FULL TIME: Holland 0-0 Argentina (Argentina win 4-2 on penalties)
Cillessen probably should have kept that Maxi penalty out. But he
doesn't have a strong enough hand, and the ball crashed off the
underside of the crossbar and into the net. He still hasn't saved one in
his professional career. Messi runs around in delirium, Mascherano is
in floods of tears, Sabella doesn't appear to believe he's led a team to
a World Cup final (stop it, be nice), Kuyt, Robben and Sneijder look
pensive, and Van Gaal goes around doing the polite thing, shaking hands.
Commiserations to the Dutch, but they didn't really turn up tonight,
and were very poor. Argentina were pretty damn bad tonight too, but
they've squeaked through to the final. They'll play Germany in the
Maracana on Sunday in a repeat of the 1986 and 1990 editions. Another
thriller like '86, please! Final word to Jim Morrish: "Pope Benedict vs
Pope Francis: it's ON!!!!"

Holland 2-4 Argentina: MAXI RODRIGUEZ SCORES, AND ARGENTINA ARE IN THE WORLD CUP FINAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1990!!! He batters a shot just to the left, which Cillessen gets a hand to. But the ball angles up and into the roof of the net!
