NETHERLANDS
The Netherlands have made the very tensed tournament look easy after cruising their way through the group stages to the Quarter-finals. The Netherland eased past the United State of America in the round of 16, registering their 3 win in 4 matches in this competition. Their attacking power seemed very top class for the USA defense line, which resulted in to 3-1 score.
The World Cup favorite will be facing their biggest test in this competition when they meet Argentina and Messi. Despite boosting of some of the top defenders in Europe, the Netherlands will have to get everything right to stop the best player on earth. And with their star-studded squad, Louis van Gaal will hope to make a deeper run for this year’s World Cup.
ARGENTINA
After Argentina’s bumpy start to this years World Cup which saw one of the biggest upsets in this tournament, they recovered quickly by winning the rest of their World Cup matches. Their round of 16 saw them face a much inexperienced side, Australia, who game them a tough time to the very last minute of the 90-minutes.
Argentina have 2 World Cup Championship in their archives, but not with their icon, Lionel Messi. And in what might be his last appearance in FIFA World Cup at age 35, Messi will be giving this tournament his best try to raise the cup with his country.
