Why do I still have this feeling Holland's WC will come to grief?
At the start of the year when the fixtures came out I had them as semi-finalists. But once LVG was announced as United manager I had a change of heart.
The road is very clear for them, beat Mexico and they should overcome either Greece or Costa Rica and possibly face Argentina for a place in the Final. But can they beat Mexico?
Granted Mexico had the advantage of just needing draw against Croatia and once they scored first it was game over, but their performance against Brazil was very composed.
Can they do a number on the Dutch? I might back them on the AH.
As for the other game, I'll take a stand - Greece is definitely the better footballing nation vs Costa Rica, despite the latter's outstanding performances. I will back them.
But the 1 problem is the heat in Recife. Whoever scores first will almost surely win, although this time it's the later kick-off, but teams have struggled there especially the Europeans.
