Netherlands vs Argentina: Preview
Argentina are marginal favourites going into the game after they overcame Australia in a 2-1 victory in the round of 16. The Argentinians are yet to look truly convincing and still heavily rely on star man, Lionel Messi.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, look more like a well-functioning team but are perhaps missing that something special which would make them legitimate candidates to win the whole thing. They overcame the USA in the previous round but gave up a fair few chances throughout which will encourage Argentina.
Neither side has had to endure extra time thus far in the tournament although you wouldn’t bet against this one going the distance given the magnitude of the occasion.
