HOLLAND VS ARGENTINA
This could turn into the Lionel Messi v Arjen Robben show with both players having been instrumental in getting their sides this far, but they have more than enough star quality around them to turn this into a mouthwatering fixture.
Head-to-head
Holland have been the stronger side, having won four of their eight meetings to Argentina's one victory " but that one came in the 1978 World Cup Final.
The last time they met was in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup in South Africa, which ended in a goalless draw.
What Holland are worrying about...
Lionel Messi. He scored four goals in the group stage to haul Argentina through, and while his team-mates have shrunk on the big stage, he has been virtually unplayable.
What Argentina are worrying about...
They have a plethora of talent but have struggled to integrate it in a way that would allow them to crush their opponents.
What the bookies say
Argentina (5/4) have been made the firm favourites, well ahead of Holland (11/5).
Where can I watch it?
ITV1 from 8.30pm (9pm kick off).
