Argentina into the Semi-Finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup

It may have had more to do with Belgium failing to really play at their peak, but that to me was one of Argentina's best performances of the tournament.
 
They also did not rely too heavily on Lionel Messi, with Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria shouldering a lot of the attacking responsibilities.
 
Don't take my word for it, though, have a watch of the Argentina 1-0 Belgium highlights to decide for yourself .
 
It has been a while since Argentina fans last saw their team in the semi-finals of a World Cup, 24 years to be exact when they ultimately finished runners-up.
 
With Brazil now without their talisman Neymar, and no European team having won a World Cup on South American soil, do Argentina fans dare to believe that their side could go all their way on their fiercest rival's own territory?
