Argentina defeated the Netherlands on Saturday with a 3-4 in penalties. Emiliano Martinez made a few fine defences in the final moments to take his team into the semifinals.

The victory on Tuesday
will put any one of the teams just one step away from the World Cup trophy.

The semifinal between
Argentina and Croatia will start at 2:00 pm EST. Argentina holds the record of
never having lost a semifinal in the tournament and reached the final each
