(LIVE STREAMING) Netherlands vs Argentina LIVE STREAM – FIFA WORLD CUP 09 JULY 2014




Semi-final: Holland vs Argentina

Venue: Arena Corinthians, Sao Paulo

Kick-off: 9pm (5pm, Brazil time)


TV coverage: ITV1, from 8:30pm

Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey)

Managers:
Louis Van Gaal (Holland)
Alejandro Sabella (Argentina)

Team news: 


  • Dutch captain Robin van Persie may miss Holland's World Cup semi-final against Argentina as he is struggling with an upset stomach.


  • Van Persie has been instrumental in Holland's run to the last four of the tournament, but he had to train separately from his team-mates on Tuesday after complaining of a stomach problem.


  • There was some good news for the Holland coach on Tuesday as injury doubts Ron Vlaar and Leroy Fer took part in training.


  • In an interesting development, midfielder Nigel de Jong was also involved even though he had been expected to miss the rest of the World Cup after suffering a groin injury in the group stage win over Mexico.


  • For Argentina, manager Alejandro Sabella has been boosted by the return of Sergio Aguero from a muscle injury for the semi-final.


Angel Di Maria may be out, but impressive full-back Marcos Rojo returns from suspension.

Key clash: Robin van Persie (Holland) v Ezequiel Garay (Argentina)

Van Persie will be hoping his luck is finally in – he has never scored in the knockout stages of a World Cup and was hugely unlucky not to change that against Costa Rica. Garay will be ready for a physical battle with the Dutch striker but will need to keep an eye on his clever movement and hope Van Persie draws the short straw again.

One to watch: Dirk Kuyt (Holland)

The former Liverpool attacker has been played on either wing and at full-back during the competition so far. His versatility has made him a valuable member of Louis Van Gaal’s squad and he could play an important role helping contain Lionel Messi who loves to cut in from wide positions.
