It was quite something to see how much the Dutch and Argentine's despised each other. I know they've had amicable enough big games in past majors, but they've also had some genuine bad blood. Does it all stem from the 70's (Cruyff was appalled by Independiente in the 1972 Intercontinental Cup) with Ajax and then '78, or is there more to it than that? Is Argentina's 'beef' against Van Gaal, or is there a deeper gripe?
I'm sure most nations who genuinely get under each others' skin will have political links and have probably been warring nations in the past, but does your nation have NT's who can just rile you up as a collective and boil your piss? If yes, who are they, and why/how did it come about?
