This Holland is so doable.
Same as it is with Argentina they will go out as soon as they meet a decent team.
True, I don't see them getting tested by a really good team. Their performance so far, despite of the 4 wins out of 4 is bordering on boredom. They played like Germany and although they got they job done, this is not the kind of Holland the world knows and certainly not the kind of Holland I'm rooting for.
That's true. At the beginning of the tournament, I was really dissapointed, because I wanted to see sexy football from the Dutch. But they way they're playing now is so anti-Holland, which means they could finally win something.
In the past they used to entertain in the group stages, get tired and knocked out in the first test. This side has the quality but are playing with minimal effort and saving their energy till the tough tests. I have a feeling that they might upset Brazil.
As for Argentina, we all know Maradona's tactical intelligence is zero. But the unity and spirit of the group is great and that's important in this kind of tournaments. Also they have the best attack in the tournament by far, which means they don't need to tactically outsmart their opponents, they could afford to rely on individual brilliance.
