Did Ron Vlaar really miss his penalty yesterday ?

It's hard to tell by the video but the ball may well have crossed the line.

You could say the same applies even more to Argentina and messi

In a shootout, once the ball is turned away from the goal it is dead. 

If it was a penalty in regular time it would count as the ball returns to play immediately after a save.

So why did the other one i put up count, did the ref cock it up ?

The technicality in interpretation is that it's "saved" when the ball loses/changes momentum. So in your video's case the referee is probably spot on as the ball doesn't lose speed and if you look closely it hasn't even really left the line of the goalkeeper. 

In Vlaar's case the ball clearly loses momentum and I suppose it's a moot point anyway as it touched him before rebounding.

"Rules state that the referee must wait for the ball to complete its path but Cakir did not make any attempt to check whether it had indeed crossed the line, presumably because his GoalControl technology would have detected the ball crossing the line."

If the ball rolled in after the keeper touched it, as long as the attacking player doesn't touch the ball it still counts if it crosses the line.

I have seen it given once, the keeper was celebrating and the ball rolled back into the net
