The Netherlands and Argentina each edged their way into a World Cup semi-final fixture by the tightest of margins over the weekend, but all they will care about at this stage is the fact they're present at all.
Louis van Gaal's decision to throw Tim Krul into the action for the penalty shootout against Costa Rica paid off in the quarter-finals, while La Albiceleste's 1-0 win over Belgium was far from a simple affair.
Nevertheless, two of the tournament's giants have made it to the penultimate phase, and a meeting on Wednesday between these two promises entertainment of the highest order.
