Knowing soccer, the Argentinian probably missed the Netherlands bench.

Did you see the article by Rob Lickonde in the athletic about the anti soccer sentiment in the United States?

I consider myself a casual fan.  I enjoy watching and understand what I am seeing.   I don't follow any team or get into the politics.   I recognize a lot of names from EPL.  But I am not a junkie.

Win or go home games at the World Cup are some of my favorite sporting events.    The drama, passion, exultation, heartbreak..... man.

Among the reasons I'm for Argentina here is to avoid a Croatia-Netherlands rock fight.

I'm usually all-in there with you.  Can't imagine anyone not rooting for Morocco tomorrow.  But I think semifinals can tend to be conservative and uninspiring anyway, so watching the Dutch and the Croats sit between the twenties sounds no fun.  Plus Nigel Powers was right.

Nice.

I was not rooting for the Dutch until that jerk move by Argentina.

Argument could also be made for violent conduct too.

He should have had 2 yellows, one for the foul, and one for kicking the ball at the bench.  Virgil should have had a yellow there for leveling the guy.

This game should have probably ended 9v9 with reds.

2 yellows gets you kicked out, muggs.

Excuse my ignorance but does that mean he should have been shown the door?

Two yellows = one red card.   Red card = ejection without a replacement.   Your team plays shorthanded.

2006 Battle of Nuremberg's record broken.  Not quite apples to apples with extra subs and 120 vs only 90, but still very impressive.

In any sport with a ball, if one player kicks/throws the ball at another, should they be thrown out because of that single act?

Sure. But I was asking muggsy about that individual act. Muggsy didn't know about yellow accumulation

In this situation, it could have been either a 2nd yellow for unsporting behavior, after the first yellow for the foul or a straight red for violent conduct.

I would have gone with 2 yellows myself, but I also don't have FIFA apparently telling me not to send anyone off.
