it's all preconceived game": Former Netherlands coach believe world up was programmed for Argentina.

Lionel Messi scored one goal and set up another for Argentina, while Memphis Depay scored both goals for the Netherlands. The match was a physical and tense affair, with both teams getting a number of yellow cards.
Still reflecting on the game Netherland ex coach Louis van Gaal has this to say:
"I don't really want to say much about it."
"If you see how Argentina gets the goals and how we get the goals and how some of Argentina's players crossed the line and weren't punished, then I think it's all preconceived game."
"I mean everything I say by that. That Messi had to become world champion? I think so, yes." (NOS)
