    Will somebody please tell TV stations that the Dutch don't do in house fighting any more and haven't played total football since the 70s.

    If only both teams could lose.. hmm.

    Messi winner and to be awarded MOTM, Robben booked for diving.

    Robben player of the tournament so far. Can see him sending the Dutch to the final.

    De Jong back is a huge boost for them.

    Peter Collins' commentary does get any better with the passing of time does it..

    Aguero could have a big impact from the bench if the game is a stalemate

    Looking at the line ups think the Dutch have the better 11.

    Messi will have to make the difference if Argentina are to win.

    Or he could come on for 5 minutes and cost them a substitution. I really think he should be given a decent rest, the nature of his injuries don't seem to be tying in with his recovery periods.

    Heart says Argentina. Head says more likely Holland. Really hope not though. Want Argentina to win the trophy, mainly for Messi.

    If you keep saying it it will come true eventually.

    Would we be expecting Wijnaldun to try and stick to Messi all night while De Jong tries to contain the rest of the midfield?

    I think he's better than that but just not quite as good as Gary Breen.

    The first line of the Dutch anthem is

    "I am of German blood".

    They dont like it when you tell them that.

    That is littered with double entendres, but I won't go there.

    Its the Dutch for me but wouldnt be surprised to see it go to ET and penalties.

    Read an article today about how they were going to sit back and allow ARG dominate the possession, not happening so far!
