Now let's analyze the Dutch opponents in the group stage in turn. The first team is Denmark in E2 position. Nordic countries beat Portugal and Sweden to qualify for the qualifiers. Bendtner, who plays for Arsenal, is their number one star. Many key players in the team, such as Jon thomason, Romedahl and Michael Silberbauer, all play for the Dutch team, which has advantages and disadvantages.
Japan's defection to Dutch Group E is a bit unlucky. The former just lost 3-0 to the Orange Legion half a month ago. Holland didn't send all the main players to the game.
After the unexpected blow of the last World Cup, Cameroon is no longer the "African lion" that makes people talk about "lions". Eto 'o and Kameni have become the backbone of the team. In addition, midfielder Eyong Enoh is now playing in Ajax.
Therefore, after some analysis, it can be concluded that the Netherlands has obvious advantages in the group stage, and their subsequent elimination path does not seem difficult.
If Group E is the first to qualify, it is almost impossible for the Netherlands to meet Italy, the strongest in Group H, so the Orange Legion must pass Slovakia or Paraguay first, and New Zealand, the last in Group H, has almost no chance to qualify.
A few weeks ago, Paraguay drew 0-0 with the Netherlands in the World Cup warm-up match. The defensive ability of South Americans in that game was impressive. But it seems only a matter of time before they or Slovakia are defeated by the Netherlands.
The Netherlands, which has passed the final of 1/8, is likely to play against Brazil, which has already defeated Switzerland or Chile at that time, which will be a great test for the Netherlands. To tell the truth, it will be difficult to beat the current Brazilian team. The South American champion, who combines European pragmatism and samba skills, still doesn't see any reason to be defeated.
Even if it unexpectedly breaks through Brazil, the Netherlands will have to face one of the three hot spots, England or France. Interestingly, the Netherlands also had the opportunity to warm up with England at the beginning of this year. They drew 2-2 with the Three Lions. If France, a veteran powerhouse, knocks out England in the 1/4 final, the former may be more afraid of the Netherlands. After all, the Dutch team defeated France in the European Championship in 2008. In a sense, it was the beginning of France's transformation from a super team to a play-off team, and relying on handball to become a strong team in the World Cup.
If you can beat all the opponents in the upper half, the best in the lower half may come from Argentina, Germany, Italy or Spain. Judging from the current voice, Spain, England and Brazil are also called the top three favorites of the World Cup in South Africa. Therefore, the Dutch team has no absolute "natural enemies" in the final.
After the group draw and situation analysis, we can only feel the foresight of the Dutch Football Association, which has warmed up almost all the main opponents this year. This is much luckier than some strong teams looking for double teams to warm up.
Therefore, this World Cup is not the favorite for the Dutch team to win the championship. I hope to keep a low profile and consolidate the warm-up record, remember the regret of playing in the 2008 European Championship too early, and strive to fulfill the dream of the 20 10 World Cup.
