The Netherlands take on Argentina in the second of the World Cup semi-finals, in another tough to predict match.

Wesley Sneijder twice hit the woodwork, whilst a deflected Robin Van Persie effort hit the post in the last minute of normal time.
The closest Costa Rica came to a breakthrough was an effort from substitute Marco Urena in extra-time.
Louis Van Gaal brought Tim Krul on for the penalty shoot-out and the Newcastle keeper saved two spot kicks to send the Dutch through.
Argentina won their fifth match at the World Cup, again by a one goal margin, as they reached their first semi-final since 1990.
Gonzalo Higuain’s early volley was the difference in their quarter-final fixture with Belgium, after an Angel Di Maria pass was deflected into his path.
The Napoli forward missed the best chance to double their lead, volleying against the woodwork early in the second period.
Belgium struggled to create a real chance of note, with Romelu Lukaku opting to pass when in a good position to shoot.
The win came at a cost for Argentina, as Di Maria went off injured, ruling him out of the semi-final with Holland.
Holland and Argentina have met four times in the World Cup, with the Dutch winning twice, including the most recent.
Argentina won the biggest fixture though, an extra-time 3-1 victory in the 1978 World Cup, with Mario Kempes scoring twice.
