That is an opening! Lionel Messi picks the Dutch apart with a wonderful pass out to the left, Dirk Kuyt is out of position but Marcos Rojo stuffs up his cross, planting it way too far. Poor half lads...

"Martins Indi likes collecting those cards."

Luke Gwalchmai:, external Is this as boring as I think it is or were we just spoiled yesterday?

Anthony Shaw:, external You watching Brazil? This is how to defend. This is what a World Cup semi-final looks like.

Ken Gorry:, external Game needs an Argentina goal, if the Dutch score they'll never go past the halfway line.

That is a booking this time. Bruno Martins Indi is booked for checking the run of Lionel Messi. Can this lead to a chance?

"I expected Argentina to play like they have with a bit of possession and try to get Messi and Lavezzi on the ball. Holland, I expected more from. Van Persie has not been in the game, neither has Robben or Sneijder really."

Dutch free-kick, easily defended. This is going to extra time for sure. Where it will change face and become gripping, end-to-end entertainment...

"Martins Indi has blocked Messi off - it should be a yellow. We want referees to keep players on the pitch but a booking is a booking. Whether it is the second minute or the 92nd minute it is a booking."

ITV got the raw end of the deal when it came to broadcasting the semi-finals. On BBC One now is some sort of drama starring Neil from The Office...

That should be a booking! The referees have gone very lenient at the World Cup and Martin Demichelis is lucky not to see yellow for a hack at Wesley Sneijder.

I'd give this game a yellow so far. Must do better.

"If Argentina are going to get any joy then it is down their right flank. The game is at the stage where no-one is really in charge of the game. While it is intriguing, nothing has happened. We're waiting for this game to take off. Not seen much of Robben, Van Persie or Messi to a certain degree."

"Where is Robben? He's not had the ball or driven at anyone he is playing against, he has just not touched the ball."

Arjen Robben. He's been kept quieter than a monk so far, having just four touches of the ball. Fred-esque.

"Nigel De Jong is always within touching distance of Lionel Messi's shirt. But looking at the size of the Dutchman, Messi may well be inside his shirt."

I don't think Javier Mascherano would make it in the NFL if we're being honest. He's about eight stone underweight and two feet too small.

Hugh in France:, external First time I've seen Enzo Perez. Looks VERY good. Not Angel Di Maria, but offers lots of movement and neat passes.

Phil Hakim:, external In the NFL, Javier Mascherano would have a concussion test before being allowed back on the field. Football a joke in comparison.

A good spell for the Dutch as they force Argentina's goalkeeper Sergio Romero into two big punches, both good punches too, before Robin van Persie is offside.

It's a slow burner.

Twenty-four hours ago Germany had just made it 5-0...

After a few minutes on the sidelines Javier Mascherano is back with us. It looked like he was momentarily unconscious after that clash of heads. Let's keep an eye on him.

"Argentina the team in control in these early stages as the Netherlands struggle to get their main attacking weapons Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben into the game. Louis van Gaal has a plan to stifle Lionel Messi of space and time - how that works will be crucial to the outcome."

Mark Lawrenson
Match of the Day analyst

"That's what the Dutch front three of Robben, Sneijder and Van Persie can do. Everything looks comfortable, then bang. They're in."
