Yeah, on paper and from what i've seen this tournament. It should happen, but there has to be at least one upset in the round of 16, other wise it wouldn't be the world cup. So i think, it should be Netherlands and Chile.
That would be awesome actually :lol

You just know if Slovakia sneak a goal they're just gonna sit there with 9 men camped in their own half. There's also a good chance they will play for penalties right from the start so the Dutch will have to be on top form today to break these guys down. Width will be crucial if the Dutch are going to progress.
actually if they do that, its an easy win for Holland :lol you can never defend perfectly for very long time (there are exceptions, but Holland are fiery team)

Have you seen Italy? They were slightly better than 2 years ago and we relentlesly pounded on the Italians back then.
Slovakia Humilated Italy, they might not be the team they were 2 years, but they were thrashed easily. Holland need to be careful.

But at the end, I see Holland winning against them, However they should not underestimate them.

Woah, new thread(s). Okey dokey, Holland are the team I'm gonna be rooting for now, but they're gonna have to play better if they're to get to the finals. I'm going for a traditional 2-1 victory in their favour.

Robben starts, not sure if Kuijt is best option on the left, but seems coach likes the mans work rate?

kuyt... smh.

either way, it's good to see robben back. van persie should benefit greatly from his presence.

I am thinking he will take off Kuijt in the second half. Elia will probably take his place.. and affalay if any major players get injured or a jellow card.

I think they also will try to switch positions a lot, so lets see how it works out.

actually Holland are cool for using Orange in World cup. never had thought other countries had the ball to do it even if the had flags that had 90% Orange.

so props to Holland.

Holland uses Orange in almost (not all) sports actually. It's our 'Royal' Colour.

Kuyt has his uses. Hope he gets substituted for Elia in the second half though, would be nice to see two true wingers.

I've always associated Orange with Portugal actually. I have no idea why. There's just this thing about orange and Portugal, that seems to go together.

Hoping for a win by Slovakia and/or Chile, because upsets are fun.

Hoping for Brazil to deliver, because my Fantasy League team needs it.

Hoping for Netherlands to come through, because we'll beat them if we meet.

In Arab oranges are called 'Portogal' because they were the first country to export oranges from China.

The Orange from Holland comes from the French area called Orange.
