The Football Rivalry That Makes No Sense

The international football rivalry between Argentina and the Netherlands is one that defies logic, considering how rivals are usually from the same region, like Liverpool vs Manchester United or the USA vs Mexico. Despite being on opposite sides of the globe, Argentina and the Netherlands have developed one of the fiercest and nastiest rivalries in international football history. This rivalry stems from several heated encounters, including their matchups at the 1974 World Cup, the controversial 1978 World Cup final which was allegedly skewed in Argentina's favor, the intense 1998 World Cup quarter-final, the 2014 World Cup semi-final, and the fiery 2022 World Cup clash. So what exactly happened throughout the years that turned these two distant nations into fierce football rivals? In this video, we will go over everything that has fueled the Argentina vs Netherlands rivalry and why it remains one of the most heated matchups in international football today. 💯

This definitely took a while to make, so I'd appreciate if you guys could share, like, and subscribe :).

Fun fact the queen of the Netherlands (wife of the king) is Argentinian. So basically their kids have a Dutch and Argentinan passport.

[JustJake]

Some rivalries are just weird, like Palace and Brighton just for having birds in their logos lol

[emilianoestevarena]

The rivalry is multi-sport (it includes hockey as well), but it's mainly based on competitiveness. It just happens that Argentina Netherlands are matches that end up having an intensity equal to derbys. The 2022 match was as intense and funnier than the finals.

[Foxhalo]

Wearing a Spain shirt is definitely a way to unite the Netherlands and Argentina 😂

[Allah_Snackbar]

Di María had problems with Van Gaal too, when he played for Manchester United. You forgot to add that

[Thats_quite_cool]

19:34 as a native Dutch speaker who’s lived in Argentina this is actually a wrong translation. I watched the press conference and van gaal said that Messi in possession is an amazing player (imo the best) but doesn’t defend along out of possession

[henriquectx]

I would say that Argentina's playing style and Netherlands' would eventually clash no matter what.
They both have the same "football soul", being their attack style trickful (more like Brazil, not like Spain), defense style near-violent (more like Uruguay, not like Italy), structure-free (not a mess like Brazil, nor a rock solid like Germany, but free as France), and moody (not passive as Portugal and Japan, neither always provocative Brazil and Italy... just moody as Germany).
They are like doppelgänger, just waiting to prove who is the real one by hunting each other.

[yusiqw]

I remember watching the 2022 world cup game and it was crazy🔥🔥

[noahreese-clauson]

It might be because they have the best international kits.

[manuelb]

Argentina has a bigger intercontinental rivalry against Germany and England than against the Netherlands, although the England rivalry is for other reasons outside of football

[towpniqqah_chishimba]

Ghana vs Uruguay is also one of the rivalry that makes no sense

[lucioweht]

Just one correction : while the 78' wc was used as a face cleaner by the dictatorship, it is false that it was "organized" by the dictatorship, as Argentina being the world cup location was set far before the military coup

[doncarloancelotti]

If only Cruyff and Maradona were both available for 1978 World cup 😮‍💨

[nielskuijper]

Also that is not what Louis van Gaal said he said that Messi was still in attack one of the best but when it comes to defending he doesn't help so there might been there some chances

[paarsgordijn]

As a Dutchman, I don't really view Argentina as a traditional rival. Our countries have played a lot of memorable games but there isn't any tension between us outisde of football. Our Queen hails from Buenos Aires.

Our main rivalry was with the Germans, which spawned because of our hatred and resentment following Nazi occupation in WW2. As for Argentina, their rivalry with Brazil is very logical since they're the biggest countries in South America. And their feud with England is rooted in the Falkland/Malvinas conflict.

As much as I hated the Argentines in 2022. I respect their fighting spirit and beautiful kit, which contrasts very nicely with our orange kit. I'm actually going to visit Buenos Aires very soon and i'm very excited about it.

However, do Argentinians view us as a main rival? I'm quite curious.

[sralmendrita]

Im from Argentina, and call this rivalry sounds weird to me. Yes, players make the matches kinda violent for different reasons, but if you start asking argentinians what they consider the biggest rival, most will say brazil, others will say GB, some little will say Uruguay or Germany, but mostly no one will say Neatherlands. I dont even think of they as a rivals in that sense.

[Yutobe]

You forgot to say messi should have a red card in 2022. He made hands for no reason and the ref gave no fuck

[WMAVZ]

I think Argentines would most likely consider Germany a rival, is one DEU-ARG is one if not the most repeated match in WC history with 3 finals along the way, and even if Germany usually takes out Argentina in the World Cup in their entire match history is actually Argentina who has the lead

[ngrz]

The queen of netherlands has entered the chat (she was born in argentina!)

Also The argentina-france rivalry might become a thing. *cough*enzo*cough*

[HadjixFries]

A W Video! It's crazy these 2 countries have such a crazy rivalry. Thanks for upgrading my ball knowledge once again!
