The Dutch have a solid team with a great philosophy. I'm Colombian and I watched the friendly played against my team a few months ago, it was no wonder the Netherlands come in as one of the favorites to take the WC, great defence, solid midfield, and good players like Van Persie and Robben who are a constant scoring threat. I really hope to see great football in this group, tough matches lie ahead. A great school and philosophy of football that's fun to see. Good luck Netherlands!

[@jerry85g7]

Tough defense by the Dutch? As a Dutch man i am glad to hear that.

To me, Netherlands is one of the best teams in this 2014 WC. They played really well and tactically amazing. I love their way of playing so much.

[@JtothejadeplusS]

4 jaar geleden was ik absoluut verzuurd en gunde ik de Nederlanders niets. Noem het gerust jaloezie omdat wij (Belgen) niet geplaatst waren voor het WK. Om de 1 of andere reden heeft onze plaatsing dit jaar een heel ander gevoel losgeweekt. Vele Belgen, inclusief ik, hopen dat Nederland het goed doet zodat we elkaar misschien wel tegen komen. Zou zo mooi zijn! In ieder geval veel succes toegewenst!

[@Frits1975]

It is. And im gonna tell you right now... The time is now ;););)

[@MarcosNinoServices]

Great team, quick and lethal on counter attack, with Robben and Van Persie they are a very good title contender, I wish the best to Robben, hope than He plays up to His potential, and share the ball, They have a hard group, but if they pass to the third face, watch out Brasil, Mexico, and Spain and Chile

[@Hilariooosite]

The Netherlands were really good in every game but not the final. Even though the final vs Spain was the worst game they've played in the World Cup, they were still the better team.

[@77atatme]

These are so good! More! More!

[@Salty_Legionnaire]

As a true Dutch i must say i miss the days when our team demanded respect from every team in this world. It seems those days are over for now. But i will always remember players like: Robin Van Persie, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael Van der Vaart, Dennis Bergkamp, Johan Cruijff, Ruud Van Nistelrooij, Marco Van Basten, Clarence Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Patrick Kluivert, Marc Overmars, Edwin Van Der Sar, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Frank De Boer, Jaap Stam, Rob Rensenbrink, Dirk Kuijt, Willen Van Hanegem. - You gave us incredible moments of joy and inspiration, I SALUTE YOU !

[@khalizzle99]

Robben and co. did amazing to get us to the finals. Then he single-handedly made us lose the final. The amount of clear goal chances he had wasted was just painful. It's very unlikely the same era of players will reach to the finals again. It's going to take some time of rebuilding till Netherlands are strong and powerful again. It was our time in 2010 but I have my fingers crossed.

[@khalizzle99]

Well, first off, if you read again I said "Robben and Co" meaning Robben, Sneijder and rest of the team did well to get us to the final. I said Robben single handedly made us LOSE the final with all his missed clear 1-on-1 against Spain.. . Robben started late in the 3rd game of group stages due to injury but thats it. Came on every game to be a crucial help by scoring or assisitng in every match... obviously Sneijder was the main man for Holland, but thats not the point of my comment.

[@yannickmorsen8563]

We have a good chance in 2018. But its a little too far away to know for sure.

Robben, Persie, Blind, Depay and the rest of the squad did a great job and deserved to be in third place. The Dutch team of 2014 easily ties with their 98' counterpart in terms of quality. Great job Holland, hopefully you guys will lift the cup in 2018, they deserve it. Btw, i'm not even Dutch!

[@FRLLFC]

In 2010 we are very lucky. Sneijder, van Bommel and Robben play the CL final. Van der Wiel, Stekelenburg, de Zeeuw became champion in the Netherlands with Ajax. Van Bronckhorst, Huntelaar and Kuyt were in form with Feyenoord, AC Milan and Liverpool. De Jong playes very good with City at that moment. Only van Persie didn't plays his best season. In 2014.. Van Bronckhorst and Van Bommel didn't play football any more. Only van Persie and Robben are in the top of football. I think it was not good that Sneijder was going to play for Galatasaray. He's not so good as in 2010. Kuyt and de Jong are not so good anymore. The defenders have never played against world players. They play with Ajax and Feyenoord not in the top of football. I think, with this young players, we will win the EC in France in 2016. But in 2014. Spain, Brazil, Germany, France, Argentina are to good for us.. My English is so bad. I'm Dutch.

[@HirXeBomb]

Leo Uwazuruonye Your English is terrible, I hope it is not your first language!! As I said Robben only works when he has the ball. He plays no defense not a lick and there is no point in arguing that because he doesnt. "Scores almost every time?" You are silly. Too bad he missed so many chances to score in a world cup final, the biggest game he will ever play in his career. Break away misses= choke.

[@Leo2112Lion]

Hash Wizzard At least he got to the final, what did Suarez do? Oh yeah right, played stupid handball on Ghana and still lost the semis >_>. True, Robben doesn't play defense, but so do alot of offensive players, doesn't make them anyless good. He scores alot for club and is very successful. I believe the Netherlands could have another chance to win the WC, 2010 wasn't the last chance ever you know and Spain only got lucky that day because of Iniesta, no one saw him coming when he scored.....

[@destinationliberation9952]

Leo Uwazuruonye Yea the Dutch should have won but like I said Robben choked. Also Suarez hand ball was the reason they were able to advance and it shows his competitive nature and never say die attitude on the field. A fwd all the way on his line defending. You arent very intelligent to say it was a stupid hand ball.. they would have went out had he not done that. I Cant argue with stupidity,

I think their group will go down to goal differential for 1-2. In that case, Holland scores more goals and could avoid a knockout match with Brazil, forcing Spain to go into that bracket.

It's funny that it turned out to be the opposite of what was said here. The Netherlands were great in defense but very average in offense. They attacked with 2-3 players and their offense was mainly "pass to Robben and hope that he will come up with something". RVP was bad in the KO games and the team did well only against teams like Spain and Brazil that send many players forward. Overall they had a very good tournament and with a bit more luck they could made it to the final and possibly win it.
