Aside from the two iconic kits, there’s something about the Netherlands taking on Argentina at the World Cup that just feels right. This will be the sixth meeting at the World Cup between these two nations including the famous 1978 final and a 2014 semi-final, both of which were won by the South Americans.
The Netherlands were one of just two sides to escape the group stage unbeaten and they used that momentum to good effect in an 3-1 defeat of the USA in the round of 16. Despite a shock opening game defeat to Saudi Arabia, Argentina recovered well to win their next two group matches and knock out a spirited Australia in the last 16. Lionel Messi is not going quietly in what is his last World Cup and you won’t want to miss this clash between two giants of the sport.

Netherlands vs Argentina preview
For Netherlands manager Louis Van Gaal, this match is personal. He was in charge as Argentina eliminated the Netherlands in the World Cup 2014 semi-finals in the most heartbreaking manner, a penalty shootout. Retiring after this tournament, Van Gaal, one of the greatest living managers, won’t want to call time just yet. He has plenty of talent to choose from with some of the standout performers of the tournament so far like Cody Gakpo who scored in all three group games and wing-back Denzel Dumfries, who scored and assisted against the USA. While Lionel Messi has been impressive for their opponents, he has not faced any defenders of the level of Virgil Van Dijk and Matthijs De Ligt.
At 2-0 up against Australia, Argentina looked to be cruising but after an own goal brought the scores level they started to look like the panicked side that we saw at times in the group stage. However, in his 1000th career game, Lionel Messi ran the show. Not only did he score the opening goal but he was also full of the tricks and dribbles that have cemented him as arguably the best ever. A first goal of the tournament for Man City striker Julian Alvarez will give manager Lionel Scaloni hope that the goalscoring burden can be shouldered by more than just Messi. La Albiceleste have looked disjointed at times this tournament but will be hoping everything comes together against the Oranje of the Netherlands.
This is a clash that has defined footballing history and this instance of Netherlands vs Argentina is no different. Will Messi’s international career end on a high? Or will Van Gaal have his revenge? You can’t miss the Netherlands vs Argentina live stream.
Netherlands vs Argentina team news
The Netherlands have no known selection issues coming into this crucial game. Key forward Memphis Depay missed the first two games with injury but has proven his fitness and even scored last time out. Virgil Van Dijk will once again captain the side with Frenkie De Jong a key presence in midfield.
Argentina also boasts a mostly healthy group of players but wingers Papu Gomez and Angel Di Maria will need to overcome knocks. Gomez suffered a sprained ankle against Australia while Di Maria didn’t feature at all in the last 16 after a muscle injury. Both should recover in time. Messi will lead the side out once again.
