Let’s get into the tale of the tape. Every metric makes Argentina look like one of the giants of the tournament and the Netherlands look very ordinary. The second one is hard to argue against, other than the fact that the full skills of Memphis Depay are only being unleashed in the knockout round after a group stage battling fitness, which could help the Netherlands attack in volume and efficiency. But even with that the Dutch didn’t exactly look dominant against the USA, taking advantage of a some US frailties to pull off some brilliant moves. They still allowed 17 shots, no good team has allowed more than this so far, besides maybe Japan vs Germany depending on your thoughts there.
