Tonight, the Dutch will compete in their seventh quarterfinal and Argentina will play in their tenth world cup quarterfinal. The Dutch reached the final three times in their last 8 world cup attempts.
The last time, Lionel Messi’s team was ousted in the Round of 16 after falling to Germany in the final. They once again got off to an unexpected FIFA World Cup 2022 start, losing to Saudi Arabia 1-2 in their first game. Contrarily, Louis van Gaal’s team is unbeaten so far in the competition.
Netherlands vs Argentina Preview
Argentina Team
The only team in the world features the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi like Argentina does. Argentinian will need to play much as a team – without relying just on Messi – since the Dutch will be especially cautious of him. However, talents like Julian Alvarez have already scored twice in the competition for the South American squad.
Netherlands Team
Lionel Messi must be stopped, and Dutch defenders Jurrien Timber and Nathan Ake will have a crucial part to play. The Dutch beat the USA 3-1 to advance to the round of eight with a strong showing in the Round of 16.
The Oranje gave their American opponents a dose of ruthlessness to get to the quarterfinals for the third straight season. To advance to the semi-finals against Argentina, they will need to score numerous goals.
