Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal has revealed he was the subject of taunts from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez after the Oranje were defeated by Argentina in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
The Dutch missed out on a place in the last four of the World Cup following Martinez's heroics between the sticks for La Albiceleste to conclude what was an ill-tempered affair between two proud footballing nations. It was a thrilling encounter that saw the Oranje recover a two-goal defecit in the final 20 minutes to send the game into extra-time courtesy of a brace from Wout Weghorst.
After the extra half an hour failed to separate them, the tie went to the dreaded spot-kicks which saw the Netherlands' World Cup dream meet its end after both Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghuis saw their efforts saved by Martinez.
