Okay, so lets talk about tonight?

Argentina have Messi. Higuain looked good in the last game. I don't fancy them defensively and I think they've too many individuals to be a truly effective team.

Netherlands have Robben. Are very good going forward, quick on the counter which could seriously hurt Argentina if Messi loses a ball upfield or Zabaletta strays too far forward. Again, don't particularly fancy them defensively and despite their attacking prowess failed to break down Costa Rica last round.

Expecting this to go to extra time at least, with Netherlands narrowly edging through to the final where Germany will put them down like a sick cat.

Netherlands to win 2-1 aet.
