I think I like what I saw from this Holland set up, they are well prepared,I think the country are very desperate to win the world cup you can tell by how they hire two previous coach in the same coaching crew, Van Gail and Blind senior are ex Netherlands coach and they are join by kluvert, and the players are playing very good, over the years, Netherlands has always have good attacking players,but I think this generation they are more good players at the back, Van Dirk,Ake,timber, even players like Deligt and vrij are on the bench. I think they are can reach the semi final.
Yes, even though the Netherlands will play against Argentina in the quarter-finals I personally am very sure that the Netherlands in my opinion have a better chance of winning. It doesn't matter how motivated Argentina is because they have Messi and in fact, the odds currently available at least show that Argentina is still the team that is projected to win.
But I don't care, because I think the Netherlands are better at scoring goals, unlike Argentina who often get stuck in scoring goals. Even though Argentina has good gameplay, that doesn't guarantee that it's easy for them to score goals.
Indeed, there is no definite guarantee because these two teams have the same quality, and also the hype about Messi who will give Argentina the title at this last opportunity. But for me it still doesn't make me confident to choose Argentina as the winner, but even so I also realize that the chance for Argentina to qualify is still high.
But for some reason, I'm still confident that the Netherlands, because not many have considered being able to go further in this World Cup, is like a strong booster for the Netherlands to be able to prove their quality.
