Argentina's first change sees Rodrigo de Paul, who was a doubt for this game with a muscle problem, go off and Leandro Paredes come on.

Luuk de Jong coming on might mean a change of system for the Dutch. It looks like they are going to a back four.

If the Netherlands don't step this up and take some chances, they are going to quietly, limply exit this tournament. Meek and mild.

Luuk de Jong is on for them. Can he make anything happen up top?

Oh, so close!

Lionel Messi whips it and beats the wall. It looks like it is heading for the goal but beats the bar by a few inches, rippling the net as it flies over.

Lionel Messi just seems to energise his colleagues around him. Virgil van Dijk just shoves him over.

He'll fancy this as well.

Over an hour played. Netherlands have had 57% possession, made 90 more passes than Argentina, more passes in the opposition half and have made more crosses.

And had one off-target shot.

The Netherlands are barely laying a glove on Argentina here.

But, while only goal is the difference, anything can happen.

Could still be a nervy last 25 for Messi and co.

Chants of 'Messi, Messi' ring around the stadium as he is felled 20 yards out...

Lionel Messi's blatant deliberate handball did not bring a yellow card from Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz. Ridiculous and absolutely no wonder the Netherlands bench were very unhappy.

What has happened to Virgil van Dijk?

Lionel Messi runs at him and the centre-back can't handle it. He shoves the forward over and Argentina have a free-kick on the edge of the box.

No prizes fir guessing who is quickly on his feet and interested.

Oh, come on!

Cody Gakpo gets the ball at his feet, facing the Argentine goal. It's a rare occurrence. He looks to play a pretty simple ball forward but overhits it and leaves the man in front him without a prayer of reaching it.

Argentina look to strike what would surely be a killer blow.

They are away but a heavy pass sends Rodrigo de Paul too wide, allowing the Netherlands to rally and crowd him out.

Argentina are just soaking up everything, working really hard and battling.

Memphis Depay is giving the ball away far too many times.

Ian: The Netherlands used to play total football. Now it’s totally boring.

You really want to speak positively about games of football when you do these live texts. You know, try and find redeeming qualities. They're making it hard this evening.

The Dutch are struggling to offer anything going forward and Argentina have their hand on their forehead, allowing the tame punches to swing well short of their chest.

He's not booked him. We know why. He is a footballing god. Lionel Messi has a halo round his head. But Virgil van Dijk is asking the question.

The referee should book Lionel Messi.

But you don’t’ get yellow cards if you’re god.

The Netherlands aren't moving the ball quickly. It is making it much easier for Argentina to keep them in check.

Daley Blind has been really ineffective.

You’ve got the marauding Denzel Dumfries on one side but ageing Blind doesn’t really have the legs anymore.

Lionel Messi decides to play basketball on halfway to block a clearance from Nathan Ake. Surely a yellow card? Nah.
