Messi fears bidding farewell to the World Cup, and the Netherlands is looking for revenge. The date of the match
The great Argentine fans and fans of the legend Messi fear that the World Cup dream will end again today, and perhaps for decades to come, if Argentina loses to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and also in the upcoming matches, because of the Argentine legend Lionel Messi, who is in the fifth and last World Cup in his football career, and the beginning today It will be in front of the Netherlands national team, which is looking to decipher the “World Cup jinx”, and continue the journey to search for the first title.
The two teams meet at the opening of the quarter-finals, at Lusail Stadium in Doha, and after a faltering start with a shocking 1-2 fall against Saudi Arabia, Argentina Messi showed that it is able to go far in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, and win the first title since 1986 and the third in its history, but facing teams of caliber Poland, Mexico and Australia is very different from colliding with a team that has a great history in the World Cup, albeit without titles.
The Argentine public is begging Lionel Messi, the owner of the historical talent, in order to restore the absent title since 1986, and if he fails to do so, then Argentina may wait a lot for the emergence of a talent capable of restoring the glories of Maradona.
What makes the task of the Argentines and their star Messi panting behind the only big title absent from his coffers more difficult is that the Dutch national team is competing in the finals under the supervision of seasoned Louis van Gaal, who has not tasted defeat in 11 matches as coach of the "mills" team in the World Cup, while suffering one defeat. In the last 47 matches, dating back to the fifth of March 2014, zero-2 against France.
The match bears the character of revenge for Van Gaal and the Netherlands, as their career in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil ended in the semi-finals at the hands of Argentina Messi with a penalty shootout, after a goalless draw in the original and extra time, and the two teams will return to memory long ago, to 1978, when the Netherlands fell again Successively in the final, losing to Argentina 1-3.
