Netherlands and Argentina will go head-to-head in the quarter-final clash of the FIFA World Cup on Dec 9th. Both teams have made it to the top eight based on their impressive performance throughout the tournament. However, given their individual strengths, this fixture could very well be a match of tactics.
The Netherlands side has been applauded for their attacking prowess and capable defending, while Argentina are known as an extremely organised team who display excellent tactical intelligence when playing against opponents. This makes them both incredibly difficult teams to come up against. With such strong tactical foundations, it is likely that this quarter-final match will be one defined by tactics rather than simply by goals scored or conceded.
