Its worked against:
- Bosnia
- Iran
- Nigeria
- Switzerland
- Belgium
Hardly a glittering list of powerhouses and likely not a strategy you'd want to employ against Holland.
I guess we'll see. Its unfortunate that De Jong wont be playing. I'd pay good money to watch him dropkick Messi in the soul.
That said, as an interested neutral I wouldnt mind Argentina going through. Germany had no problems with Ronaldo, they could likely handle Messi.
