In what is arguably the biggest heavyweight clash of the World Cup so far, the Netherlands will attempt to overcome Lionel Messi’s Argentina and their dedicated legion of fans in the World Cup quarterfinals.
Argentina showed moments of magic in their Round of 16 win over a spirited Australia side, but they were made to work incredibly hard for the victory, with Emiliano Martinez making a massive save in the last play of the game to preserve La Albiceleste’s 2-1 lead.
Messi scored a classy goal in that match and he will be central to Argentina’s hopes of progressing past a strong Dutch side.
The Netherlands put in their most complete performance of the tournament when they defeated the USA 3-1 in their Round of 16 clash. Despite an early chance for Christian Pulisic, the Dutch soon took control and took advantage of a fatigued USMNT to put on an attacking show, with their top scorer Cody Gakpo impressing once again.
These sides last met at the World Cup in the 2014 semifinals. On that occasion, Argentina went through to the showpiece event after defeating the Netherlands 4-2 on penalties, and with both teams being evenly matched, we could see this one go the distance as well.
Here’s where to watch the match in the United States online via live stream or on traditional TV channels for via cable, satellite, and telco subscribers.
