Messi said something like: "Van Gaal promised football but all he did was put tall guys on the field and have them shoot long balls"
It was one of the most exciting matches, the biased ref, 12(?) yellow cards, the Argentian smashing the ball into the Dutch bench, Messi playing volleyball
Such a contrast with France/Ingerland.
That quote from Messi is like peak Barcelona "only one way to play football" bullshit.
When you're playing against a bunch of undernourished Argentinians who top out at 5' 3", why wouldn't you put your well fed 6' 7" Dutch bulldozers up the front?
Besides, the equaliser was scored by one of those blokes with the ball firmly on the ground and with great passing and skillful footwork.
Eat a dick Messi. I hope Modric eats your lunch.
