Wout Weghorst‘s dramatic late brace, including a 101st minute leveller, sent the game into extra-time.
But Holland weren’t able to find a winner and were then beaten 4-3 on penalties, with Lautaro Martinez scoring the decisive kick.
And after feisty a game which saw 16 bookings and one red card dished out, the ex-Manchester United manager explained what he heard after the crushing loss.
The 71-year-old said: “I speak a little Spanish, after the game the goalkeeper of Argentina told me that I spoke too much.”
Meanwhile, the Aston Villa keeper said: “I heard Van Gaal saying, we’ve got an advantage in penalties. If we go to penalties we win.”
“I think he needs to keep his mouth shut.”
Following the defeat, Van Gaal confirmed his 16-month reign as Dutch boss is over, while he’s also retiring from management.
He said: “First and foremost I won’t be continuing.
