Netherlands vs Argentina will kick off Friday, December 9 at 7 pm (GMT).

Argentina saw out a 2-1 win against Australia this evening thanks to a moment of magic from Lionel Messi in his 1000th career appearance and 100th time captaining his national team. In what is expected to be his final World Cup, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be adamant about lifting the lucrative trophy to seal his record-breaking honours list.

Netherlands beat the United States 3-1 thanks to goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries. A tactical masterclass from Louis van Gaal ensured his side secured the victory despite having less possession and fewer shots on target at the Khalifa International Stadium.
