Netherlands

The Gaffer says

“Listen son, the Dutch have got proper quality going forward, and on their day they'll carve anyone open — that's the ceiling, mate, nailed on. But my honest worry? That backline's softer than a wet Sunday, and they bottle the big moments time after time. Gut says semis if they're lucky, but I ain't convinced. Verdict: Flatter to deceive, mate.”

After they went out

“Called it weeks ago, son: all that Dutch flair counts for nothing when the spot-kicks come.”
