Rio Ferdinand expecting open World Cup semi-final

Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand believes that tonight's World Cup semi-final between Netherlands and Argentina could be "a scorefest".

The pair meet in the second semi-final this evening, with the winner due to face Germany in Sunday's final.

"Both defences have looked vulnerable in this #worldcup so hoping for a scorefest!! if Holland play 4 in defence it could get nasty. gaps," tweeted Ferdinand.

Ferdinand, who is working for the BBC at the World Cup, will reportedly join Queens Park Rangers on a short-term deal once he returns from Brazil.
