Interesting. Relax!

0 - No World Cup semi-final has ever ended 0-0 (including extra-time). Relax.

Another interesting data.

22 - Louis van Gaal has now used 22 of his 23 men in this World Cup (only Michel Vorm hasn't played so far). Turnover.

Higuain was ruled out offside here. But replays suggest he was level with the defender.

A Javier Mascherano tackle keeps Argentina in the match.

And Cillessen has done it again!

Penalty shootouts:

Vlaar misses!

Messi scores!

Robben scores!

Garay scores!

Sneijder misses!

Aguero scores!

Kuyt scores!

Rodriguez scores!
