Still, Australia ran them hard, no disgrace in that scoreline or exiting to a quality side after exceeding expectations by getting to this stage at all. Can come home with their heads held high.
I thought Australia gave Argentina a decent game. The game plan worked well in the first half and they only conceded to a moment of Messi magic, which can happen to anyone. It was just a damned shame that they cut their own throat for the Argentina second. Given the eventual scoreline and with Argentina definitely having to hang on at the end, it was a case of what might have been for team Australia. Better luck in 4 years time
I think the Dutch will send Argentina home
I haven't seen much of the Dutch but I did see the second half today and they looked well organised defensively and creative up front with quite a potent goal scoring threat. I was impressed with the way they despatched the USA with so few alarms. A very composed performance
