0-0 at half-time. Not a lot of chances. Messi is like a box of tricks waiting to explode. I don't think that the dutch can stop the Argentinians much longer.

I felt both teams had a few more gears. Argentina looked more dangerous in amougnst the Netherlands box, but NL defended good, and kept the ball...
