It should be interesting for several reasons. Both teams willnot take chances with any keyplayer that has yellow. The dutch are going to sideline 5 of the regulars, although the only big loss will be Robben, I am not too impressed by the others.
Becoming second means avoiding Germany a little longer.
Interesting will be seeing Kuijt play. Not the most technical striker, but persistent and smart, and strong on the ball, which we really lack atm. Lots of people want him in the team, maybe even as a midfielder if the front positions are def. taken. I always thought Sneijder and vd Vaart would come short at toplevel, but at least Sneijder should be able to play better than he did in the last game, hopefully he can show that.
This Holland team is still unproven and very few serious dutch footballfans think they have a serious chance at going far. Just reaching the 2nd stage would be good I thought and they did that, it didnot go smoothly though.
I feel sorry for Ivory Coast mainly because they are just great to watch, they deserved more def. in the Holland game but also in the Argentina game.
Still there is room for improvement, lots of players havenot played to their potential, hopefully that will happen in the next stage and we will see.
