I'd say Holland has a better working team than Argentina and my bet goes for them, but once again it's very volatile to try to guess the outcome of this game. And Messi could do better but it happens, as a portuguese Ronaldo didn't do much either.
Yeah he's out with injury.
I wasn't knocking Messi, he could still do something brilliant and get Argentina to the final, but I think the Dutch under Van Gaal are pretty damn organised and they will do everything to nullify Messi. I predict quite a boring game actually.
It does all depend on which players turn up really.

You're right in that Silva will probably be just as big a miss. But then, that's doubly worrying for them. Their two best players are missing, their best forward and best defender. I honestly cannot see them winning, especially not against Germany.
