Over in Amsterdam, the Dutch fans are preparing for the big match


While in Sao Paulo the Argentina fans don't seem to be worried as they have Pope Francis on their side

The Dutch fans seem to be calling on the 'Curse of Mick Jagger' to help them in their semi-final


In order to make it through to their fourth World Cup final, Holland will need to nullify Argentina's talisman and captain Lionel Messi. The Argentina starting XI is Romero, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay, Rojo, Biglia, Mascherano, Lavezzi, Messi, Perez, Higuain.



Equally dangerous for the Dutch is Arjen Robben who lines up alongside Robin Van Persie up front. The Dutch starting XI is Cillessen, De Vrij, Vlaar, Martins Indi, Kuyt, De Jong, Sneijder, Wijnaldum, Blind, Robben, van Persie
