The strongest squad in the Netherlands vs. Argentina: Messi resists the 'whirlwind'?

The match between the Netherlands and Argentina is part of the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, taking place at 2:00 on December 10. Here is the strongest lineup predicted.

The Netherlands vs Argentina promises to be one of the top epic matches of the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals , because of the balance and class of the individuals in the two teams.

Once again, all of Argentina's hopes were placed on Lionel Messi. Needless to say, the captain alone carried the defending South American champion to this round, but just a second of "short of breath" was enough for them to pay the price.

El Pulga's role is pushed even higher when some names like Lautaro Martinez or Rodrigo De Paul are not in the best form. However, Julian Alvarez or Mac Allister can be the expected factors of La Albiceleste in the upcoming match.

Meanwhile, with the "orange whirlwind", they are having a significant transformation at the 2022 World Cup . With the combination of pillars like Van Dijk, Memphis Depay and young factors like De Jong, Gakpo, the Netherlands is expected to make a splash at this tournament.
