Netherlands

If either side win this match today they have qualified for the last sixteen of the World Cup and that there is the incentive for both teams.

I'll tell you something for nothing; while we predicted the win, which is seven correct results out of nine now, we are a little disappointed with the performance from the Netherlands. They didn't really look the side we had expected - they looked more like England.

We mean no disrespect to England, it's just that should always do better than they do and you always think you'll get a great game and it is rate that you do. Today, the Dutch looked ordinary and if it wasn't for a lot of luck, they wouldn't have won.

Arjen Robben, the Holland wide man, will be taken to hospital for a scan on his hamstring tomorrow after picking up the injury during the 6-1 win against Hungary today.

Dutch coach, Bert van Marwijk, admitted he is concerned about Robben but will not consider calling up a stand-in until they can fully determine the extent of the injury.

We here fancy the Netherlands to surprise a few people in the World Cup and we expect them to be spending a lot of time in South Africa and we certainly expect them to qualify.

That opinion was confirmed when we watched them beat fellow World Cup contenders Ghana 4-1 on Tuesday at a canter - they could have scored a few more and while it was a warm up match - you'd be mad to be putting money on Ghana to get past the group stage on that performance.
