Argentina VS Netherland - world cup semi final on wednesday 9th july 2014. by mencade5(m): 12:36pm On Jul 05, 2014
the second semi final clash in this year's world cup is between the Argentine National team versus the Dutch National team.

This mouth watery clash is going to be a cracker as both sides are made of star studded players who ply their trades basically in top European clubsides.


Ladies and gentlemen I bring to you,


ARGENTINA VS NETHERLAND

Re: Argentina VS Netherland - world cup semi final on wednesday 9th july 2014. by mencade5(m): 12:39pm On Jul 05, 2014
Argentina Full Squad

Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (Monaco), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Agustin Orion (Boca Juniors).

Defenders: Federico Fernandez (Napoli), Ezequiel Garay (Benfica), Martin Demichelis (Manchester City), Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Marcos Rojo
(Sporting Lisbon), Jose Basanta (Monterrey), Hugo
Campagnaro (Inter Milan).

Midfielders: Fernando Gago (Boca Juniors), Augusto Fernandez (Celta Vigo), Javier Mascherano
(Barcelona), Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid), Lucas
Biglia (Lazio), Maxi Rodriguez (Newell’s Old Boys),
Ricardo Alvarez (Inter Milan), Enzo Perez (Benfica).

Forwards: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Lionel Messi (Barcelona),
Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint-Germain), Rodrigo
Palacio (Inter Milan).

Best Ever Finish: Winners (1978, 1986)

Captain: Lionel Messi

Manager: Alejandro Sabella

Qualifying with reasonable ease and with a
plethora of attacking talent at hand, Argentina
are in prime position to launch an assault on the
2014 World Cup. In addition to their offensive riches, they will be
playing on their home continent, and their
familiarity with the baking heat and
concentrated humidity will serve them well
against teams who may toil in the Brazilian sun

Lionel Messi will be keen to fire his team into the
knock-out phase and way beyond, especially after
he failed to net at the 2010 World Cup. But in Brazil,
with a supporting cast of Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel
Lavezzi and Gonzalo Higuain, Sabella’s team will not
be lacking in firepower if Messi was to come up short again.

Holland Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Ajax), Tim Krul (Newcastle), Michel Vorm (Swansea)

Defenders: Daley Blind, Joel Veltman (both Ajax), Stefan de Vrij, Daryl Janmaat, Terence Kongolo,
Bruno Martins Indi, (all Feyenoord), Paul Verhaegh
(FC Augsburg), Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa).

Midfielders: Jordy Clasie (Feyenoord), Jonathan de Guzman (Swansea), Nigel de Jong (AC Milan), Leroy
Fer (Norwich), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich),
Wesley Sneijder (Galatasaray), Georginio Wijnaldum
(PSV Eindhoven).

Forwards: Memphis Depay (PSV Eindhoven), Klaas- Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04), Dirk Kuyt (Fenerbahce),
Jeremain Lens (Dynamo Kiev), Robin van Persie
(Manchester United).

Best Ever Finish: Runners Up (1974, 1978, 2010)

Captain: Robin Van Persie

Manager: Louis Van Gaal

After a disastrous EURO 2012, in which Bert Van Marwijk’s Holland team lost all three of their group games, the Dutch have bounced back in style.

They qualified for the World Cup after winning nine and drawing one of their ten group games and will be desperate to put the nightmare of 2012 behind them.

check ur statistics well. It is 3 times in the final. Well that is not a yardstick for them to win. Yea argentina has been winning 1 - 0 but what useless wide margin has holland use in the knock out round? Do you mean the diving antic of robben or the penalty they played with costa rica?

I just hope Argentina would learn from yday's match, the humiliation pass wetin mouth fit talk. If d Argies could hold Robben, then they could have a good match, but Robben will always have his moment in a game, jst as Messi always have his. I wish I could say "may the best team win" but the best team is Holland, cos Argentina does not play as a team. #teamargentina

I guess the reverse is the case! Argentina is the only team that has grown with the tournament,and same applies to their players..
Check how their performances keep growing.Against Belgium, they had an all round team game,everyone was involved and they got the work done..
P.s-upon Belgium players were very much much taller than the Argies,yet The Argentina players did not lose a single up ball duel with them..They won all!!

Well, I expected more than what Belgium offered in that match, I hope Argentina would step up again against Holland too. They should jst beg Higuain cos he does not play with the team.
