Not as far as I know. There was an even worse case of a player being totally blacked out for a good ten seconds and returning to play in this tournament. Can't remember the game now.
That said, they are obviously much less common in soccer than in hockey. It's the repetitive head injuries that are the biggest threat, from what I've understood.
I'd like to see the ref give out a card to the Dutch. So many hard fouls that things could get bad when the clock ticks on and the pressure rises. Argentinians will probably start retaliating at some point.
