Argentina players 'mocked' the Netherlands squad after beating them in a penalty shoot-out in last night's World Cup quarter-final. The ill-tempered game had already seen a number of bust-ups take place on the pitch, during which a total of 48 fouls were awarded by referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz.
Lahoz also dished out 15 yellow cards overall and the hostility continued even after the Argentine side claimed their 4-2 win, booking Lionel Scaloni's their place in the semis. Some Argentina players were seen to turn towards the dejected Dutch squad and scream loudly in celebration, pumping their fists and even pulling poses.
Nicolas Otamendi cupped his hands behind his ears, Leandro Paredes raised a fist in celebration and Gonzalo Montiel pumped his hands in the air. Alexis Mac Allister, German Pezzella and Angel Di Maria were also involved in the scenes, screaming at the Netherlands players.
