Netherlands vs. Australia
.jpg)
Netherlands is the most confident team in the World Cup 2014 after demolishing defending champions, Spain in their opening match. Today, they somewhat have a much easier task to do in their match against underdogs, Australia.
Obviously a win would help Holland to move further in the tournament and make it easier for them to reach the knock-out stage. But it is more of an entertainment show for the fans that after doing a 5-1 humiliation to Spain, how will the Hollish side perform against the Australians.
Australia, on the other hand is the least ranked team in the summer tournament although they had put up a respectable show in their opener against Chile. If Van Gaal's Netherlands end up performing the way they did against Spain, the Aussies may feel that they shouldn't have come to Brazil.
Australia: Ryan; McGowan, Spiranovic, Wilkinson, Davidson; Jedinak, Milligan, Bresciano, Leckie; Oar, Cahill.
Netherlands in their opening game.
Vincente Del Bosque's men came to Brazil as the pre-tournament favorites having triumphed 4 years back in South Africa, 2010. Their opener turned out to be disastrous after a 5-1 humiliation by Holland. Del Bosque would be surely bringing on some new faces in his Spanish squad.
The South-American dark horses opened their 2014 World Cup campaign with joy after thrashing Australia 3-1. The attack was very lively, specially Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez was fluent with his play. Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo kept his side alive in the match with some exquisite saves.
