Virgil van Dijk reflects on Holland's penalty shootout defeat to Argentina

After Holland's penalty shootout defeat to Argentina, defender Virgil van Dijk has claimed that 'everything had gone in' for the Dutch players in penalty training.

Louis van Gaal's side crashed out of the World Cup quarter-finals after a heroic comeback saw the game end 2-2 before the penalty shootout saw Argentina progress.

Liverpool's van Dijk stepped up first for Holland and saw his effort saved by Argentina's Emiliano Martinez and, upon reflection, he admits the shot 'could have been more in the corner'.
