After another World Cup penalty shoot-out decided a tightly contested semi-final with few chances, here are the best tweets and jokes from Netherlands vs Argentina.

PLUS! DID YOU MISS? The best memes and jokes from Brazil 1-7 Germany

The cagey affair was not to everyone’s liking, especially when contrasted with the avalanche of goals that crushed Brazil on Tuesday night.

But we did get 120 minutes of it, plus penalties.

Sabella’s side scored their first 4 spot-kicks while Holland could only muster 2 in reply, so now Messi marches on to the final against Germany.

Catch-up on the best tweets and jokes from Netherlands vs Argentina – not the most entertaining match of Brazil 2014 so far, apparently…
