The money favors Romania but the stats I am looking at favor The Netherlands.

tough call....B team versus one of the best teams in EURO qualifiers......

B team for Holland is still Wilfred Bouma, John Heitinga, Demy De Zeeuw, Robin van Persie, and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

Not sure how this tournament works but would it be to Netherlands advantage to have Romania win and keep Italy and France out of next round?
Not saying they would intentionally not play but maybe rest their best players in favour of bench players.

Why keep Italy and France out when the Dutch crushed both?

 

[Longhorn85]

Italy and France have a history of coming to life in the later rounds after starting off slow. It will be interesting...
