Netherlands-Slovakia
This is an all European matchup. Slovakia has been playing well against mediocre competition. It's about to get a lot tougher with the Netherlands.

1. Slovakia had opportunities, but didn't convert them.

Netherlands didn't look like world beaters, but it might be because of a lack of urgency after going up 1-0. They've got the winner of Brazil-Chile, and I think Brazil will be OK with that.

2. Holland looked fine to me
They went up 1-nil, their opponents made chances, but generally lacked good touch. When Slovakia really started knocking on the door, Elija and Huntelaar came in and brought pace to the game (setting up a pretty turn and pass from Kuyt to Snijder). Every time the game called for them to score, they did. Robben looked good in possession. I'm really looking forward to seeing Brazil-Holland if that's the way it plays.

3. I'll be rooting for them against Brasil, but they don't look all that...
