Netherlands ace Arjen Robben has dismissed the notion that Argentinaare a one-man team, claiming that there is more to Alejandro Sabella's side than Lionel Messi.
The Bayern Munich winger holds the Albiceleste attacker in the highest esteem but he does not feel that Oranje's World Cup semi-final opponents rely too heavily upon the four-time Ballon d'Or winner.
"Argentina have a huge player in him, true, but that does not mean that everything revolves only around Lionel Messi," Robben told reporters ahead of Tuesday's last-four showdown in Sao Paulo.
Meanwhile, Netherlands centre-back Stefan de Vrij insisted that he is not in the least bit perturbed by the prospect of dealing with Messi.
"I'm not afraid of anyone," the defender toldAlgemeen Dagbald. "Not even Messi.
"I am especially focused on him, but I’m not afraid of him. In fact, I am very happy to play against him.”
Netherlands are bidding to reach their second successive World Cup final, having been beaten 1-0 by Spain in the tournament decider in South Africa four years ago.

Behind the Lines: Poetry, War, & Peacemaking
Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.
Wow. Where The Hell Did I Go?!
Yep, so it seems I fell off the planet. At least for a couple of years. I guess I just bored of typing up these long rants and opted for the shorter version on Facebook. But I feel like I should get back on board with my blog. I have so many stories I wish I blogged, or journaled someplace other than Facebook.
I'm going to try to do better, blog. I need this place to write things down so I don't forget.
