How
they qualified Holland and Mexico to the round:
Netherlands defeated Spain 5-1 in the opening game to the
surprise of everyone. Then, the team led by Louis Van Gaal behind to Australia
to complete winning 3-2 while in his last game, a win over Holland reaped Chile
2-0. These three wins gave Netherlands nine enough points to reach the top of
Group B.
Mexico, meanwhile, won their first match against Cameroon
1-0 with a goal by Oribe Peralta. After tying surprised homeowners, Brazil
(0-0) thanks to the memorable performance of goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, and
finally won a brilliant victory over Croatia 3-1, with goals from Rafael
Marquez, Andres Guardado and Chicharito 'Hernández. These results gave Mexico
seven points, the same as Brazil but with lower average score, which earned him
second place in Group A.
From the above table we can deduce that Holland has
slight advantage over Mexico with three wins for The Dutch people as opposed to
two wins of the selected Azteca. There was also a 2-2 draw in World Cup France
1998, becoming the only precedent in World. However, the "location of the
meeting" factor influences the results, as four times six times that found
both Teams have been in European or Dutch territory.
Forecast: Match
decided on penalties, with a slight advantage to Mexico on Holland. Although
Tulips are a powerful team with players like Van Persie and Arjen Robben and
have done a magnificent performance in the group stage, "El Tri" can
achieve good results when supported by your audience; that is the emotional
toll plus players need to be grown in the difficulty, as we saw in the group
stage that even homeowners, Brazil, could knock them down. In the penalty
shootout, Mexico could take advantage before the roar of the stands to
overshadow the Dutch.
Next
Game: In this knockout stage (play-offs) can only be one
winner. If the tie persists after 90 minutes, there shall be an additional 30
minutes (extension or complement) and if still a tie, it will be defined by the
way of penalties. So the winner of this match will clash in the quarterfinals
against the winner of the match between Costa Rica and Ivory Coast.
