van Gaal has had a pair of tactical masterstrokes with the van Persie and Krul subs, I'm worried he will find a way to win this.
Any team with Messi in it always has a chance though. If you watch the goal he scored against Iran, they had all eleven men behind the ball and he still found a way to get it into the goal.
Two sides with decent but not particularly great defences but each with probably the best forward players in world football as a unit = nailed on 0-0 and extra time.
I'm counting on Messi to do it again and win the game late on with a piece of genius.
If Argentina are to go through they must do it in open play, if it goes to penalties I think the players will melt.
1-0 Argentina aet.
Messi > sheckshy voetbal.
