After two long and arduous days with no football, today marks the business end of the World Cup.
The quarter-finals kick off as the tournament's big boys come together - and they don't get much bigger than the Netherlands and Argentina.
Louis van Gaal's side have been more efficient than they have scintillating, conceding just one goal in the group stages before a comfortable 3-1 round-of-16 win against the USA on Saturday. Breakthrough star Cody Gakpo failed to score in that most recent win but has three goals in four games and will no doubt be the danger-man again.
Who Argentina's main man is needs no explanation. Lionel Messi carried his side through a rough group stages before opening the scoring in their 2-1 last-16 win against Australia. At 35, this is undoubtedly the forward's last chance at the World Cup glory his career deserves.
