The Netherlands v Argentina quarter final clash proved to be one of the most intriguing of the World Cup 2022 so far. The match itself was a brilliantly tight affair, with Argentina going 2-0 up, before a brace from Wout Weghorst brought the game to extra time.
With the deadlock unable to be settled, the match went on to penalties, but the on-field drama was even more entertaining, with the yellow card being flashed a total of 18 times, and Dutch right-back Denzel Dumfries earning a red card after the final kick of the game. Bizarre, doesn't quite cut it.
Meanwhile, Croatia defeated the favourites in the Croatia v Brazil game, to book their spot in the semi final, too. The Croatian side were able to keep the game deadlocked until extra time, when a Neymar strike against the run of play looked set to put Brazil through. But a Bruno Petkovic goal in the 117th minute sealed a penalty shoot-out decider, which Croatia won 4-2.
With a place in the World Cup final riding on this result, both sides will be looking to put on a display. Argentina have looked impressive throughout the tournament. No other side in the World Cup can win the ball back as comfortably as they do, and it gives them real confidence to dedicate men forward.
But, Croatia are not to be underestimated. The Eastern Europeans have stellar World Cup credentials, having made the final in Russia in 2018. They've also got Dominik Livakovic between the sticks. He's been one of the best performers at the World Cup this year, and that shot-stopping brilliance will allow them the confidence to work forward.
