The commitment between Argentina and the Low Countries by the quarter-finals of the World-wide of Catar will bring achieve some important reunions for both groups. By a part Lionel Messi will see again the faces with Frenkie of Jong, one of his excompañeros when it dressed the elastic of the FC Barcelona.
