Huntelaar and Babel won't be starting. The Dutch starting line up is 4-3-3 with a front three of Van Der Vaart or Sneijder (Right), Robben (Left), with Van Nistelrooy through the middle. Van Persie, Babel and Huntelaar will be used as impact subs if and when their needed.

I'm hearing a lot of that. I personally would love to see them win it. They are probably the best Country to never win the World Cup. And the have only won one European championship.

Yes, in the sense of the Total Football Dutch sides of the 1970s

No, in the sense that Spain consistently produce very good teams (if not the occasionally superb sides like Hungary in 1954, or the Dutch sides in the 1970s)

Yep. Agree with that.

Henrik Larsson is in Swedish squad after coming out of retirement. That'll give them a major boost.
