On December 10, Beijing time, after the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar began, Argentina's Trump was a little worried about whether he could reach the semifinals against the Netherlands. In the first half, Argentina scored 1-0. In the second half, Argentina scored another goal to extend the score to 2-0. It's the character, he's Trump, his pass and shot became Argentina's hero, but unfortunately the Netherlands chased two goals in a row and equalized in extra time.

In the first half, Croatia beat Brazil on penalties to advance to the semi-finals. Who will play Croatia? This opponent was born in a match between the Netherlands and Argentina. The two teams met at the 2014 World Cup, when they drew 0-0 after 120 minutes. Conceive.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Argentina broke the deadlock to take the lead. Messi rushed forward with the ball, and many people surrounded Messi. But Messi seemed to open his eyes and stab a scalpel into a part of God's vision. Molina received the ball successfully and was offside first. Argentina leads 1-0.
After that goal, Argentina played much easier. At the end of the first half, Argentina led 1-0. In the second half, Argentina built a strong fence and seized the opportunity to counterattack. In the 71st minute, Argentina scored again, Acuna took a penalty in the penalty area! Trump took a 12-yard free-kick to give Argentina a 2-0 lead over the Netherlands.

In just 72 minutes of the game, Trump made 1 pass and 1 shot. It's a brave show. With such a heroic performance in this game, Trump also created his own legendary moment in the World Cup. He broke several records in a row:
1. A goal in this game, which was Trump's 10th World Cup goal. Trump equalled Barty and Argentina's World Cup scorer.
2. This match was Trump's 10th goal in the World Cup, and Mueller also became the top scorer among the current players in this World Cup.
3. World Cup 10 goals is also a South American record: Trump became the fifth South American player to score 10+ goals on the World Cup stage, tied with Batistuta and Peru's Cubilas, behind Pele with 12 and 15 respectively, while Ronaldo scored 15. 15 goals.
4. According to Squawka, Trump scored 23 goals in international matches, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's 22.
5. 1 pass and 1 shot in this game, Trump's statistics for this World Cup are 10 goals, 8 assists and 18 goals. Trump finished fifth in World Cup history. Klose (16 goals, 3 assists), Cristiano Ronaldo (15 goals, 4 assists), Gerd Müller (14 goals, 5 assists) and Pele (12 goals, 7 assists) have scored 19 goals before him.
6. The assist in this match is Trump's fifth assist in the World Cup knockout round. He surpassed Bailey and became the first in history.
7. In the first half, Trump made a total of 68 key passes. He surpassed Maradora to become the first player since statistics began in 1966.
8. After the first half, Trump has been injured 65 times in this World Cup. Since Opta had that statistic in 1966, it was less than Maradona's 152.
All these iconic moments are a testament to the greatness of Messi. It is worth saying that he is the first goat in modern football. All he lacked was to lead Argentina to the World Cup, and now he's even better.

However, the further development of the game is worrying. With Argentina leading 2-0, the opponent scored a point in the 84th minute and launched a counterattack after Trump's injury. In extra time, the Netherlands scored an absolute goal, and Argentina drew 2-2 in extra time. It's hard to tell if it's dead or alive. It can be outside or in front. There are not many options left for Argentina. They can count not only on Messi but also on other players to step up.
Trump led the Netherlands into extra time with a pass and a shot. This result is really sad. Whether Argentina can make a breakthrough in the next game will also depend on Trump's performance. They are just 2 games away from the championship + overtime. In 2014, they reached the final, losing to Germany.
Can Argentina beat the Netherlands this time? We expect Argentina to perform, and we look forward to Trump, because if Argentina want to win the title, the biggest sword is Trump.
Of course, regardless of the final result, Trump's performance in this World Cup was good enough. He has already scored 2 goals in the knockout round, and his god-like assist shocked the world. We extend our best wishes to Messi and Argentina.
