the Netherlands vs the US match was more exciting than Argentina vs Australia match. thrilling quarter-final match. Netherlands vs Argentina, both have the ambition to enter the final. but one of them had to fall in the quarter-finals.
Of course the Netherlands vs US match is more exciting than the Argentina vs Australia match because the US quality is better than Australia. If in the round of 16 the US meets Australia, I really believe the US will be able to beat Australia easily.
We are waiting for the next match which will bring Argentina and the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, this match is very exciting in my opinion. Both teams have played well since the world cup started, they are also ambitious to get to the final. I don't want to make predictions too early in this game, because both teams still have a 50/50 chance to move on to the next round.
I also have to say that the Netherlands vs United States match was quite interesting, compared to the Argentina one.
I don't have really good exciting new prospects in their team, namely, Memphis Depay, Franky de Jong, Shaqiri, Cody Gakpo, and so on.
I also have to say that the Netherlands team strategized quite well, and they were bang-on with their chemistry on the pitch.
going forward, will Japan continue their good luck and win against Croatia? Another match will bring Brazil and South Korea together, Brazil will be the favorite to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Japan who made a surprise when they beat Germany and Spain, became a tough opponent for Croatia, especially since Modric and his friends did not perform well in this world cup. Japan's chances are better than Croatia, but we can't underestimate Croatia.
Of course, Brazil is the favorite against South Korea. The depth of Brazil squad is still too tough for South Korea, in this match I will place a bet on Brazil victory. How about you.?
I think we are up for a really great quarterfinal up ahead as Croatia faces Japan.
I personally support Japan as they have been outstanding in the group stages as they beat Spain and Germany, who were the big names in this world cup.
How happy Messi make the team win and able to the next eight rounds. He is one person that looks busy picking up the ball from back to front. It's not wrong if he comes as Man of the match, but we have not forgotten the role of goal keeper, Emiliano Martinez. He is a person who save a ball in last minute, if he wasn't there maybe we can see an extended match or penalty shootout
Emiliano Martinez's contribution to Argentina's victory is undeniable in this match. Argentina could not have won the match if not for the extraordinary save at the last moment. Australia did not attack much in this match, but each of their counter attacks was very strong. Australia's first goal was due to a mistake by Argentine midfielder Fernandez. Had he not made mistakes, I think Emiliano Martinez would have been able to block the shots successfully.
Messi played great. All Australian players were defenders in this match. And it was very difficult to score with so many players. Messi has done this difficult task. And Messi scored an incredible goal in the first-half, to give Argentina the lead. As a result, the confidence of the players increased.
Messi scored the first goal of the game for them in the 35th minute, and he almost assisted another one to Lautaro Martinez, but he failed to finish the easy chance.
But no matter what, Argentina won the game, and Messi and Martinez are the sole heroes of the game.
