I actually think Mexico will win.

Holland will go all the way through to the final to play against France. :work: You heard it here first.

Yeah if Mexico push higher up then Robben will have a great day running at your defense.IMO it's too dangerous to attack Netherlands by pushing defense higher up. Also I feel Hernandez should start as his movement is just pain in ass for defense which also frees up other players.

Exactly, counter attack is one of Mexico's weakest points, that's why we always suffer against USA. I also hope Chicharito starts, but I don't know who should go to the bench, either Dos Santos or Peralta.

Do people prefer "Holland" or "Netherlands" as the title? I grew up with Netherlands....

It's Netherlands. Holland are just two of the twelve provinces of the Netherlands. I always get annoyed when i hear other Dutch people say 'i'm from Holland' instead of 'I'm from the Netherlands'. For me, as i am from the northern part of the country, the provinces of Holland (especially the city of Amsterdam) are like a bit of a symbol of arrogance and contempt towards the rest of the country.

But i understand why it can cause confusion to people, as we can see in this fragment of the best show EVER:

About the match: don't think it'll cause us many problems. Think the style of football Mexico plays suits the men of Van Gaal pretty well. Still i'm very annoyed about the atmosphere in my country, everybody's acting like we're already in the semis. STFU.

According to the most recent training Van Gaal will, apart from Lens <> Van Persie, field the same players as against Chili.

I think this is the only possible potential shock in the last 16 if Mexico beat Holland. I mean Costa Rica making the final 8 is just 2 crappy teams playing each other and no one really cares haha.

Please finish it WITHIN 90 minutes boys. Extra time will, because of the weather conditions (high temperatures + high air humidity), be in favor of the Mexicans i'm afraid.

has the weather bothered Holland? They didn't seem like it did in the 1st round. I find it funny how teams are complaining about the weather. Altitude is defiantly much much worse !!! If the WC was played in Bolivia or Ecuador. The final would be Boliva v Ecuador. The other teams wouldn't be able to breathe

If both my predicted scores for this match + the Costa Rica / Greece match occur, I will win $41,000. And I only bet $20.

That goes to show how unlikely my odds are :lol:

I have a feeling this is going to be a boring match.
