Second Semifinal: Argentina - Netherland

Argentina vs. Netherlands | Kickoff: 7/7, 4 p.m. ET | Stadium: Corinthians, Sao Paulo

Match Preview: Entering Wednesday’s semifinal, Argentina has a chance to return to the World Cup finals for the first time since 1990, having already surpassed the quarterfinals stage where its campaign was halted in three of the last four tournaments. It will face the Netherlands, whom it famously dispatched in the 1978 finals, 3-1.

The winner will take on Germany, who destroyed Brazil 7-1 on Tuesday.

The Dutch have a slight chance of getting hardnosed midfielder Nigel De Jong back from injury, but the latest concern revolves around Robin Van Persie’s “stomach problem.” His status is in doubt for Wednesday’s clash in Sao Paulo.
Argentina will certainly be without Angel Di Maria (leads his team with 25 shots), who injured his right thigh in the first half against Belgium.

I consider it Robbin eleven v/s Messi eleven :slight_smile:

Netherlands 2 Argentina 1

Van Pedsie ' s "stomach problem" may be key to the game. Best way to keep the defenders away.
