Rumor has it that World Cup rookie coach, Marco van Basten will more than likely stick with the same eleven players in his starting line up as he did against Serbia & Montenegro. Why change a winning team eh!

Dutch line up:

Edwin van der Sar
Heijtinga, Ooijer, Mathijsen, van Bronckhorst
Van Bommel, Cocu, Sneijder
Van Persie, Van Nistelrooy, Robben

This Dutch side has a delightful mixture of youth and experience. With a win today I think they could become a potent force in this tournament however the Ivory Coast will surely battle all the way. If the match becomes a realy physical affair, I fancy the Africans but if Holland can dictate the pace then they should have it all their own way.

Holland 2 - 1 Ivory Coast
