Arjen Robben has missed some big chances in big games down the years. That was right up there with them. Score and the Netherlands are in their second successive final...

Into the last minute. And what a chance!
Arjen Robben suddenly is in right through on goal, but he takes a bad touch and Javier Mascherano is able to make a brilliant block.
Huge chance!

Four minutes to go. Germany could score four in that time.
Will we get one?

That. Is a shot.
A genuine shot on target from Argentina left-back Marcos Rojo. An easy save for Jasper Cillessen but at least he had a dig.

Aamir Mir:, external So to nullify a counter-attacking team, you need to play like Argentina. Then you end up with a boring spectacle like this.
Barry Fong:, external Maybe I missed them but I don't think the crowd can even muster a Mexican wave.
Dan Hedley:, external Says a lot when Ron Vlaar is the best player on a pitch with Arjen Robben and Lionel Messi.
