Netherlands star promises revenge as he slams Argentina for World Cup behaviour

Noa Lang has slammed Argentina for their behaviour in the quarter-final clash against Netherlands - and declared that's the reason why La Albiceleste "won't win the World Cup ".

FIFA is investigating Argentina for how they acted during their last-eight win over the Dutch at Lusail Stadium after Lionel Scaloni's side were handed 10 yellow cards on the night. Manager Scaloni and first-team coach Walter Samuel were cautioned, while eight players received bookings in a fiery affair between the two sides.

In actual fact, there were 18 yellow cards handed out in total - a record for a World Cup finals game since the tournament's inception in 1930 - beating the previous high, which was 16. Argentina have been heavily criticised for how they acted during the game, with Gary Neville branding some of the behaviour "disgraceful" and claiming the South Americans "went over the top" with their actions.
