The quarter-finals caused quite a stir in the run-up: It went down in history as the World Cup game with the most yellow cards. According to van Gaal, if you look at “how Argentina got to its goals”, the case is clear. In comparison, the Dutch would have “earned their hits”.
In addition, some Argentine players “crossed the line” and were not penalized for it. However, Louis van Gaal did not want to say more.
Van Gaal’s health update
After the World Cup, Louis van Gaal ended his career as Bonds coach due to prostate cancer. According to his own statements, he is on the road to recovery after several operations.
