A passionate clash between the Netherlands and Argentina is on the cards for the World Cup's last eight.
These two historic teams meeting might create another classic matchup. Argentina narrowly beat Australia 2-1 in the round of 16, but in my opinion, they had the chance to win by a bigger margin. Unfortunately, the strikers' lack of goal-scoring certainty put paid to the chances of another individual display from Mes.
Whenever Mays swings for the fences, opponents seem to have trouble tying him down, and Holland is bound to go all out in this one to shut down Mays' chances of catching the ball.
The role of the wingbacks is crucial in Dutch coach Younger's tactical system, a style that was particularly strong against the United States. Right wingback DuFeis scored two solo goals and contributed two assists, one of which also helped left wingback Daley Brandt score.
With Dufresi showing a strong attacking power on the right, Argentina's left tackle, Marcos Aguna, will face a great challenge in this match. But once Dufresi goes forward to assist, Argentina will also try to utilize the possible gaps behind him.
Both sides are favorites to win the title in this match, and their strengths are equal. However, when it comes to individual ability, I'm more inclined to favor the magician of the pitch that is Mez, who has the ability to lead Argentina to a breakthrough.
