Argentina - and Messi specifically - are building momentum, and the Netherlands don't have the quality in the final third to match it. For all that de Jong is quality, he's no Mac Allister (@robertmac43 )

I sense penalties

Best way for the Dutch to get through imo. 0-0 and take to the distance. But if Argentina score first…

Looking forward to this one.

I'll take Argentina because I think they have more possible paths to win.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

ADM and Papu trained alone... ADM will likely still make the bench at least. Scaloni tinkering between 3-5-2 and adding another midfielder, Paredes as the 5 and Enzo in a free role. I'd be happier with the extra midfielder and unleashing ADM if need be later ala the copa.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

If Argentina win he must have a say at some point in the tournament

 

[John Pedro]

will be rooting for the hermanos in this one

3-1 Argentina seems right.....1-1 at half and then probably Messi magic and then a late dagger.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

RDP is hurt and questionable for the game. Say what you will but the guy runs his socks off. Big big loss if he cant go.

Van Dijk: WC quarterfinal not 'me against Messi'

Virgil van Dijk deflected questions about his confrontation with Lionel Messi but said the Netherlands would be cautious against Argentina.

Netherlands to prove that Argentina is very much the paper tiger they have been known to be

... and how many trophies do the dutch have? lol

Because the Netherlands have just proved that once a nazi always a nazi and blocked Romania and Bulgaria's Schengen entry I hope Argentina humiliates them.

Perhaps you should check out Argentina and Nazis?

Argentina is not making me feel like a second class European citizen, and blocking me for hours in airports and at borders since 2007. That's the Dutch and the fascists like Rutte they vote into power.

That was more Austria than anything, and it's not like Rutte is Geert Wilders. But we're straying from the point.

Wouldn't work only Gods are allowed to do that.

Not sure how this applies to Argentina's disappointing performance on the national stage for decades. So much so that Messi retired from international play because of the embarrassing back to back losses to Chile in Copa America.

Oh silly you, Its 2022 he came back won on Brazilian soil and followed it up with another trophy. In fact Messi has more senior NT trophies than the Dutch's history.

Gods do blow and hookers?

Silly me? Those were his words. Not mine.

And I'm no big fan of the Dutch, I just believe they can expose Argentina. Their stature is based on world cups won 30-40 years ago, not because of their talent today.
