Holland will score fast then Mexico cant play pussy football anymore so they need to come forward and exploit themselves which Holland will take advantage of. 5-0 Holland

I'm a neutral because it's De Jong vs the underdogs... I just hope it isn't a boring game of football...

By now, Mexico's coach should have figured out that you should sit deep and play the waiting game vs Holland's 532. Don't take the ball and play high line, cause you WILL be scored on, and once you concede, the floodgates have to open and that's exactly what you don't want to happen.

If they will sit deep tho, we will see an extremely boring first 45 minutes, neither team will want to play and ball will circulate in midfield for ages. Holland will switch to a 433 with Depay at HT then, which will mean a much more open game.
Yea can see the two teams marking each other out of the game. It'll probably take a magic moment from Robben or a scrappy-as-fuck goal to settle this.

Rooting for the Dutch to do well. They constantly get close, so it would be nice for them to actually win.

if he has gone to 4-2-3-1 then why not Memphis instead of Kuyt?

why has he dropped janmaat for a guy with 2 caps?

also, so many people here said that martins indi and wijnaldum were fodder, and here we are in WC knockout football. i like them both, would definately improve milans first 11.
