Two big encounters, both have Latin American teams versus Europeans.
First one, I think Belgium is a great team especially the way they attacked in US game in a sudden surge was very impressive. They can really upset Argentina.
But messi eleven will get better I think and Argentina will eventually win 2-1.
Second one, Dutches will do wut they have been doing so far.
Re: Last two QFs: Arg v/s Belgium, Netherlands v/ CR
Yes. Great finish.
Messi should have scored. Goalie anticipated the use of left foot. With my 20.20 hindsight I thought Messi could have nudged the ball to.his right and then drilled it home.
Dutch played with so much control in first half. But they are unable to finish. The free kick in 38 min was right on target but goalie saved.they need to attack more
Re: Last two QFs: Arg v/s Belgium, Netherlands v/ CR
Yes. He flopped quite a few times. The last one towards end of 1st half away from ball was a disgrace.
Am glad the south American commentator took his general air of “hinesty” to task. Refreshing change from Western commentators who treat English Germans and Dutch as gods - not capable of flopping.
