    Tough decision. Both are big teams. I picked Holland because Portugal has traditionally done well against them. Argentina has a defence that might upset Portugals offence, but I also think that Argentina is a little overrated. A vary good team but can be beaten.

    I agree, but sometimes teams match up better with certain teams and not others.

    My choice would be Serbia or Côte d'Ivoire. :)

    They would have already used their luck getting past Netherlands or Argentina!:p

    I think an outside opinion (as long as it is not trashing) is refreshing. All to often opinions are not as objective because we tend to pull for our side at least a bit.

    No matter who we face in the second round, it will be a tough match up. It does not get easier as you go on.:D

    Holland, although we have never played Argentina and the game would be fresh and Exiting.

    But I'd go with the Devil that we know and that we can beat then the Devil we don't know much about.

    For some reason I think Portugal would have more chances against Argentina and Mexico the same against The Netherlands.

    It's that same feeling that Mourinho once expressed before playing against Liverpool in CL. It comes a time that is too much...

    I'd rather Portugal play Holland. I think we have a good record against them.

    Argentina by far. Know them much better and have beat them in meaningful games before.

    there isn't much of a choice here, both are huge teams. Holland will be favored to go very far, and Argentina is Argentina. I think both teams from group D will lose. Portugal has a chance against Holland, that's about it.
