What Torenico means was during the late games, where the Dutch were gaining more possession, they started to hesitate. I saw a lot of ball being played into Kuyt and he hesitated on pressing forward and decided to pass the ball back into De Jong or Blind or Vlaar, which then switched into the other wing, Janmaat. It is annoying, because Kuyt at times can be so fast and outrun Zabaleta despite his fierce defending. The only guy playing good there is Robben and Janmaat. They are lively, and Robben demonstrated a lot of dribbling excellence, full of class and very composed. He no longer dive as often as before (now the habit belongs to Neymar Jr.).
Also, RVP is being marked to death and seemed clueless around the field. He should have been replaced earlier by Hunterlaar. Then there is De Jong, ugh... I don't know about why he still plays. He is harsh and effective as defender, but in a team setup like that, he is just too stiff. It was a wasted sub that Jordy Clasie must take over his place.
My brother said Van Gaal should have played the 3-4-3 he used against Costa Rica. I say, he should played Depay. We agreed that the decision to start with Nigel De Jong was a mistake.
Argentina on the other hand, do not budge after losing possession, they replied with dangerous counter attacks. They don't hesitate on risking their ball possession with Biglia, Mascherano not hesitating to press forward once they got the ball. Which usually ended up Higuain or Lavezzi hitting the Dutch defensive wall. But they are also playing defensively on their end though. You can't blame them, because it is such an important game. They just can't risk it, just like the Dutch.
