After Argentina's pass to the semis, the low blow that Scaloni and Messi received
After being among the top four in the tournament, the coach left concerned about a football issue.
Argentina and the Netherlands played their sixth World Cup clash this Friday. The antecedents, although not by much, favored the group of Louis Van Gaal. It is that they had two victories, two draws and a single defeat, which was also in the 1978 world final. In addition, one of the pardas was in 2014, when the albiceleste took them out in semis on penalties.
This day of the quarterfinals emulated that day in Brazil eight years ago, and eliminated them in the same way, although the match in that case ended 2-2. Lionel Scaloni revealed at a press conference that the same players offered to execute penalties, so he simply relied on them. In any case, his happiness was not complete since during the game he received two very bad news.

It is that both Marcos Acuña and Gonzalo Montiel will miss the next game against Croatia. The 'Egg' was the one who generated the penalty that Lionel Messi converted in the 2-0 partial and then he was replaced in the complement by Nicolás Tagliafico, although in the first half he was reprimanded and already knew his destiny for next week.
On the other hand, the former River Plate came on in the second half for Nahuel Molina, author of the first goal of the match, and saw the card in the first half of extra time with very few minutes on the field. With these warnings, the wingers reached two in the World Cup and due to the accumulation they will miss the game against the Europeans, in search of a place in the final.
Possible replacements for Montiel and Acuña vs. Croatia
As a result of his suspension, the sides of the selected team will watch the game from the stands since they must meet a date outside the courts. Those who can replace them are their natural successors of the position: Nicolás Tagliafico and Nahuel Molina. However, we will have to wait for training to know more exactly what is going to happen.
