I'm really concerned about Demichelis marking Robben and "getting under Robben's skin". This defender is great at times but he's capable of making the stupidest mistakes ever. With Romero and Demichelis on the field and Di Maria out of it, Messi and Argentina will need the Pope's prayers for a miracle today. IMO Argentina's dream ends today unless the unthinkable happens. FIFA will be very happy to see higher viewer rating for the unpopular 3rd spot game. With pressure on Brazil and the pride of Argentina in winning a classico in Brazil, FIFA will have a game for the fans out of nothing.

Penalty for Robben for him diving (or exaggerating). Argentina to lose 1-3

I pray for a miracle !!!!

Sabella talks about working with humility and solidarity as a team. I hope the boys fight for every inch, and leave with no regrets at the final whistle. The rest The Almighty decides. And if after everything, its really the dutch who's to progress, then good for them. I'll be here to congratulate them.

The match is already over before it started for many people here, stay positive people. It may look bad but it is not that bad. I think Argentina defense can handle robben and Dutch can handle messi too. This match won't be like yesterday. This will be close and minute details will decide this match. It is a fight between robben diving skills and messi clutch performances.

Sorry but theres just little faith to be had with this Argentina. To me at least, they are a team that just got lucky to get to this stage by the lack of competition they had early on, and by Leos heroics.

Yes Argentina got lucky with an easy group to start with but let's not forget that Holland got lucky against Costa Rica and they almost lost to Mexico if it wasn't for the Robben dive.

If an European team wins this World Cup, is it the first time an European team winning on South American soil?

To beat netherlands seems impossible for Argentina at the moment - they are not functioning as a solid football team and miss central players. I fear another 7-1 tonight. Its a disgrace really, the most cheating, rotten and diving disgrace in the tournament Will end up in the final. Dont know if Its worth seeing.

In Lucho we trust!
I wonder if all the chat on here tomorrow will be:

1) Messi was amazing, deffo GOAT. Ballon d'Or for sure etc..
2) He didn't even look like he was interested, walked all over the park. The team physio had more kilometers run on his stats...etc. He never recovered from his injury blah blah.
