Netherlands
Netherlands' flag Population 16.1 million. Too many for such a small space.
Bet you didn't know... Cruyff is pronounced "Crowff" with a sort of miaow sound in the "ow".
Remember...? When Rangers used to provide the Dutch team with players? Incredible but true.
What happened to... ? The van der Kerkhof brothers, Willy and Rene.
Look out for... Wee Dick Advocaat going ape on the touchline.
Handy phrases Please keep your opinions to yourself.
The Team Forever arguing, but when they get it right, it can be a beautiful thing, man.
The Players They have a boy in midfield called Sneijder. Nuff said.
The Manager # He's bald, he's fat, he's going to get the sack, Advocaat, Advocaat... #
The Fans Mental, colourful, beautiful, passionate, superb.
Most likely to play... Very well until the final, at which point they'll blow it on penalties.
If they were a Scottish team they'd be... Rangers, of course.
Odds A bit like Spain, they can't be ruled out.
