This will decide the group winners, a draw being enough for the south americans. Both teams are resting key players......
Van Basten has confirmed, after all, that he is to rest no fewer than six of his first-choice line-up, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst, John Heitinga, Arjen Robben, Joris Mathijsen, Mark van Bommel and Khalid Boulahrouz all currently within another booking of earning a one-match suspension. "We don't want to take any risks for the next round," said the coach, mindful of the fact that the disciplinary slate is wiped clean at the Round of 16 stage.
Nevertheless, while Argentina’s Jose Pekerman is said to be planning a similar move with his own cautioned quartet of Javier Saviola, Gabriel Heinze, Luis Gonzalez and Hernan Crespo.
Van Basten insists that there is no question of either side going into this match half-heartedly.
I do not feel that these two football purists will simply go through the motions, surely they will want to entertain. To be honest the Argentine "b" team is hardly weaker at all, probably a little stronger. Messi and Tevez on the bench in earlier matches, what an embarrassment of riches !
See this as a glorified "friendly" and no reason why there should not be goals. The "replacement" superstars will be keen to keep their place and Argentina can get maximum points.
3 points over 2 goals 1.75 asian line
2 points Argentina 2.08 general
Good Luck.
