1. Ron Vlaar took Holland’s first penalty against Argentina during Tuesday’s semi-final and missed.
2. Or did he? Footage has now emerged suggesting the Aston Villa defender’s penalty may actually have rolled back into the goal after Sergio Romero saved it.
6. People have now started speculating Vlaar’s penalty should have counted.
Surely Ron Vlaar's penalty should have counted? Just seen the video of the ball spinning back into the net after Romero saves and celebrates

@RonVlaar4 me and my friends are of the opinion your penalty actually spun back in. Could you clarify if you touched it a 2nd time. Thanks

In Germany this is called a Goal! (Did Ron Vlaar’s penalty in World Cup semi-final cross the line?) http://t.co/0HpksI4H18

Ron Vlaar's penalty might or might not have crossed the line after bouncing. Does it matter? It was saved. Lets accept it. #NED

Here is @RonVlaar4's penalty from another angle. I think goal line technology needs to be used on penalties. http://t.co/RmvNuE3Goa

That Ron Vlaar penalty thing is actually true though, technically it was a goal wasn't it???
— Brad (@spanishturnip)
Guys, please. Ron Vlaar's penalty did not go in and he touched it twice. No illuminati involved. He missed.

15. Did the ball touch his shoulder? DID IT???
Probably, meaning the penalty wouldn’t have counted even if the ball had crossed the line. But let’s not allow that ruin a good conspiracy theory.
