    I think the Netherlands psychologically will be a lot better off but will we see another moment of brilliance from the great man?

    Mike: How many Yellow Cards so far? Losing count.

    Jack: Regardless of the ref, the players are 100% responsible for their own poor behaviour - embarrassing for fully grown adults really.

    Will either side be brave in extra-time? Right now, both have retreated back into their shell, scared to take any risk and let any more madness happen.

    It is ten past midnight here in Doha and you feel there is a whole lot of drama ahead...

    It's going to be a late one.

    I think Argentina are just trying to get a foothold back in this team.

    The players are shell-shocked.

    Ah, so Steven Bergwijn has been booked too. For arguing apparently. I think it was in the period after full-time.

    If the drama keeps intensifying with each quarter final my heart isn’t going to make it through the England - France game!

    Even Lionel Messi looks a bit dazed and that man has ice in his veins.

    Netherlands 2-2 Argentina

    We are up to 12 bookings in this game - five for Netherlands, seven for Argentina including the one for coach Walter Samuel.

    Will we see a red?

    Understandably, the first few minutes here are being played at quite a leisurely pace. Both sides probably need to get the heart rates down a bit.

    We have a bit of thing in the office here in Salford where the guys around the corner have a feed that is slightly ahead of the one I see. A second before that free-kick it all went off, with people cheering and laughing incredulously.

    No way I would have predicted THAT free-kick. You just don't think someone has the bravery or presence of mind to do that in those circumstances.

    It is eerily quiet here at Lusail Stadium.

    The Argentina fans simply can't believe it.

    A few are trying to start the tunes, but it is very half-hearted.

    How's your head now if you are an Argentina player?

    You were already plotting for the semi. Now you're suddenly in one heck of a scrap.

    Netherlands 2-2 Argentina

    As we start extra-time, I can tell you that Nicolas Otamendi was booked in the melee at full time.

    If this ends 11 v 11, I'll be amazed.

    Good luck, ref.

    The drama at the end of this game. I have almost lost my voice. Louis van Gaal is known as someone who plays total football but gets his team back in it by throwing on two big units up front. They have to keep playing that way now, playing to their strengths.

    Ed: That is one of the BEST freekicks I've ever seen. Wonderful moment.

    Corin: What a set piece! That was brilliant!

    Liam: Weghorst with the goal of the tournament so far! Brilliant free kick.

    Adam: What a free kick that is - the audacity with time up. That is so good Netherlands

    What an ending to the game. If in doubt bring the big man on and lump it. And then an incredible free-kick at the end. What a comeback.

    ET: Netherlands 2-2 Argentina

    Netherlands have scored five goals in the last 15 minutes of matches in Qatar, more than any other team in the 2022 World Cup.

    Kings of the late show.

    The audacity and imagination of equaliser from the Netherlands. Nobody expected that ingenuity. You cannot believe the cheek and brilliance of it.

    Well... they always said 2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline.

    But that is ridiculous.

    How have the Netherlands got themselves back in this game. Incredible.

    The final whistle has gone and there are some pretty ugly scenes between the players. It's all kicking off out there.
