Jurrien Timber, Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake will have their hands full as they have to deal with an in-form Messi. If he starts and scores in this match, at 22 years and 312 days of age, he'd be the youngest player to score in his first three World Cup starts since Teofilo Cubillas in 1970. History is on their side as the Netherlands have lost just one of their nine meetings with Argentina in all competitions (W4 D4), with that loss coming in the 1978 World Cup final. He is being ably supported by Julian Alvarez as the Manchester City forward has scored in each of his two World Cup starts. The Albiceleste skipper has been in terrific form in Qatar and has scored nine goals at the World Cup overall, second only to Gabriel Batistuta (10) for Argentina.

He's one of those players who if you give him a brick he'll build a house with it, but there are other players in the Argentina side." "He took that last penalty and it's one of the best I've seen in the history of penalties. "The pressure is heaped on and Lautaro ends up losing his place in the side. When he converted from the penalty spot with his right, Weghorst completed a perfect hat-trick of sorts - but it all proved to be in vain. From the moment that Martinez saved brilliantly to his right to deny Virgil van Dijk with the first kick, Argentina had the advantage. The Argentina fans need to find their voice in the semi-finals as they played a huge part in this victory." When Brazil got to the final in 2002 against Germany, an opinion poll in Argentina revealed that more Argentines were supporting Brazil than Germany.

That is why I asked the players to take a penalty at their club, they all did. The Netherlands made a double change at half-time, withdrawing a distraught Bergwijn and Martin de Roon and replacing the pair with Teun Koopmeiners and Berghuis.

Argentina win 4-3 on penalties, after Netherlands had come back from two goals down to equalise in normal time.

That incident and the other frequent stoppages were enough to add 10 minutes to the clock and that was just enough. But in the 35th minute, Lionel Messi – who else? The match took a long time to get going.

South Americans prevail in penalty shootout to enter World Cup semi-finals.
