Robin van Persie is the most important player for Holland in this World Cup 2014. Holland team is the runner up team in last World Cup but this year the team combination is not so good to qualify at least semi final of World Cup 2014. Robben is also the key player if he is 100% fit in this World Cup 2014.
Holland 2014 World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Ajax), Tim Krul (Newcastle), Michel Vorm (Swansea), Jeroen Zoet (PSV Eindhoven).
Defenders: Daley Blind, Joel Veltman (both Ajax), Stefan de Vrij, Daryl Janmaat, Terence Kongolo, Bruno Martins Indi, Tonny Vilhena (all Feyenoord), Karim Rekik (PSV Eindhoven - on loan from Manchester City), Patrick van Aanholt (Vitesse Arnhem), Paul Verhaegh (FC Augsburg), Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa).
Midfielders: Jordy Clasie (Feyenoord), Jonathan de Guzman (Swansea), Nigel de Jong (AC Milan), Leroy Fer (Norwich), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich), Wesley Sneijder (Galatasaray), Rafael van der Vaart (Hamburg), Georginio Wijnaldum (PSV Eindhoven).
Forwards: Jean-Paul Boetius (Feyenoord), Memphis Depay (PSV Eindhoven), Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04), Dirk Kuyt (Fenerbahce), Jeremain Lens (Dynamo Kiev), Quincy Promes (Twente), Robin van Persie (Manchester United).
Possible Holland Starting Line-Up
4-3-3
Cillessen
Janmaat Vlaar Martins Indi Blind
Sneijder De Jong Van der Vaart
Robben Van Persie Lens
The Coach: Louis van Gaal
The former Ajax and Barcelona boss could start an argument in an empty room. Holland have a long standing reputation for infighting and it will be up to Van Gaal to manage the egos – Van Persie and Sneijder are just two players who share a mutual loathing for eachother - in Brazil. Now in his second stint as Holland coach, Van Gaal’s CV stands up with the best, and he would love to go out on a high - Guus Hiddink will take over for the Euro 2016 qualifiers - before returning to club soccer after the World Cup.
Player to Watch: Arjen Robben
One of the most exciting players to watch in world soccer, there are few better sights than Robben teasing and taunting his full-back before cutting in on his left foot and unleashing one of those stringing shots that often beats the goalkeeper through sheer power. With Sneijder’s influence waning, Robben will be charged with providing the creativity in Brazil.
Group matches:
Friday 13th June v Spain (16:00 local time in Salvador)
Wednesday 18th June v Australia (13:00 local time in Porto Alegre)
Monday 23rd June v Chile (13:00 local time in Sao Paulo)
Prediction: Group Stage
