The 2022 FIFA World Cup continues with the Netherlands taking on Argentina in the quarterfinals. Here are Friday's top plays!

The USA and England face off on Friday in the Group Stage of the 2022 World Cup. We breakdown the history of this matchup.

Argentina win 4-3 on penalties, after Netherlands had come back from two goals down to equalise in normal time.

That incident and the other frequent stoppages were enough to add 10 minutes to the clock and that was just enough. But in the 35th minute, Lionel Messi – who else? The match took a long time to get going.

Argentina beat the Netherlands 4-3 on penalties after a sensational 2-2 draw at the Lusail Stadium, sending Lionel Messi into the semi-final.

Nobody saw the late comeback coming — but Messi was still the best player on the pitch. [Cody Gakpo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cody-gakpo-djGTTuUUTuWr6O2m/) hit a late free-kick into the wall, and after 100 minutes, it looked as if he would attempt another. The Argentina defence failed to react, and Weghorst got just enough on his shot to squeeze the ball past Martinez. It was more than just that pass. Koopmeiners used to have a Thierry Henry poster on his bedroom wall but he never made it as a striker. “Elegance personified,” he said. However, instead [Teun Koopmeiners](https://theathletic.com/football/player/teun-koopmeiners-8khq0vuS99sqtele/) rolled the ball under the wall towards Weghorst, who forced the ball beyond Emi Martinez into the Argentina net. The subsequent corner from Angel di Maria almost snuck inside Noppert’s post, before Then, after over 100 minutes, Koopmeiners stood over a free-kick where everybody expected him to shoot. Once more, Argentina were one penalty away from victory. It hit him in a half-stride of space, space which only appeared as the ball arrived at the Atletico Madrid full-back’s feet. Then, with a glance into the peripheries, and a flick of his left-boot, the Argentina superstar played Molina in on goal.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper has hit out at the Spanish official, who handed out 16 yellow cards in the World Cup quarter-final.

The Netherlands are out of the World Cup after a penalty shootout loss to Argentina. Michael Bell provides his player ratings for the Netherlands players.

Frenkie de Jong 7/10: A tireless performance from the midfielder, who tracked Messi at times. Looked like a player short of match fitness and was rightly substituted. Jurrien Timber 6/10: Went forward with some nice dribbles and defended well. Daley Blind 4/10: His 99th cap in Oranje was not smooth. Virgil van Dijk 6/10: The leader at the back, Van Dijk defended well at times but could not help Oranje build from the back. Sadly he was not a penalty stopper, while his opposite number was.

He's one of those players who if you give him a brick he'll build a house with it, but there are other players in the Argentina side." "He took that last penalty and it's one of the best I've seen in the history of penalties. "The pressure is heaped on and Lautaro ends up losing his place in the side. When he converted from the penalty spot with his right, Weghorst completed a perfect hat-trick of sorts - but it all proved to be in vain. From the moment that Martinez saved brilliantly to his right to deny Virgil van Dijk with the first kick, Argentina had the advantage. The Argentina fans need to find their voice in the semi-finals as they played a huge part in this victory." When Brazil got to the final in 2002 against Germany, an opinion poll in Argentina revealed that more Argentines were supporting Brazil than Germany. Earlier in the day, Brazil had appeared devastated to find themselves in a penalty shootout. "When the referee did the coin toss to choose which side we had the shootout at, there was even a tetchiness then. "A lot of joy, a lot of happiness. That is why I asked the players to take a penalty at their club, they all did. The Netherlands made a double change at half-time, withdrawing a distraught Bergwijn and Martin de Roon and replacing the pair with Teun Koopmeiners and Berghuis.

"If you talk they sanction you; FIFA must think about it, they can't put a referee who isn't up to the task for these instances."
