They are a tough and compact team; it is difficult to score goals against them.
On the other side will be Argentina, who after a bad start with the surprise defeat against Saudi Arabia, have reaped one success after another until the quarterfinals, where they had to suffer more than expected to eliminate the Netherlands. After winning 2-0 and dominating the game, the Europeans equalized at the end, and Argentina ended up going through penalties.
