Can the Argentine defence stop the freeflowing wannabe spanish football of germany??

If Netherlands come through they've already proven they can cope with and beat this type of tika taka pass and move football when they thumped spain. Argetina dont have a bully/rapist in the middle of the park like Netherlands have in nigel de jong. They can cause some serious damage in attack(specially if Aguero is fit enough), but can they stop Germany from playing and beat them on the counter.

I reckon Germany will moleste Argentina almost as bad as Brazil if they come through, Argentina will score goals for sure but Germany will smash their defence for 6. Holland on the other hand can whoop Germany specially if Van Persie and Robben have that psycho/hungry/anxious face they had when they played out of their skin against Spain, was almost freightening how bad they wanted that watching it again..

You can't compare the Argentenian defence to the Brazilian one. Argentina have looked really solid at the back on this world cup.

Having said that Demichelis' lack of pace could he a liability. Robben vs Demichelis sounds like a mismatch to me, as does Moller v Demichelis if they do get to the final.
