FIFA World Cup 2014 Preview, Predictions, Schedule [NEWS]: Netherlands vs. Argentina Semi-Final Match Analysis

Netherlands will face off against Argentina in a semi match of the Brazil World Cup 2014 tournament, pitting two of the tournament's strongest teams against each other.

Netherlands, ranked fifteenth in the world, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

The European team's coach Louis van Gaal is "magic" and "perfect," according to Arjen Robben.

"We have a superb trainer, a coach who works magic like this all the time," he said, according to the Daily Mirror.

"Nobody knew about what he was going to do, apart from one goalkeeper."

Argentina, ranked fifth in the world, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

The South American team's manager Alejandro Sabella said his team is more than just Leonel Messi.

"Four years ago Messi was criticized for not contributing enough, and now people say we depend too greatly upon him," Sabella said, according to The Guardian.

"It's not easy. Any team who has a player like Messi in their ranks - he's the best player in the world - will greatly depend upon him, as a player. But there's a group of players who support Messi, who make him stronger and make him feel well. I believe that the fact he's done what he has here is down to the work the team puts in."
