 Sergio Romero of the Argentinian La Albiceleste showed himself an engaged goalkeeper during the penalty shootout and brings this engagement to social media as well. Dutch keeper Jasper Cillessen let the ball pass only twice more during the semi-final, but it was enough to end the Netherlands’ dream of the 2014 Worldcup.

 During the game between Germany and Brazil, it felt as if the only attacks on a goal happened on the Brazilian side of the field. German goalkeeper Manuer Neuer seemed to have very little work to do – and the Internet noticed. Memes with him reading a book or just taking a rest in front of his goal appeared almost immediately. We’re hoping for a final game as intense as the semi-finals and look forward to Sunday!
