One of this summer's World Cup matches that ended up in controversy was that of The Netherlands against Mexico. Miguel Herrera's side had a hard time accepting their elimination following the famous Arjen Robben dive. Fate will make these two teams meet again, this time playing at Amsterdam Arena.
The Netherlands get to this match looking for stability. After Louis Van Gaal's departure, former coach Guus Hiddink took the helm, but he hasnt' been able to put up a respectable team. Last week, the seasoned coach told the local press he would be willing to resign if he loses the next Euro 2016 qualifying match against Latvia. With that on his mind, this might be a good test for his crew to finally garner some playing time together in order to save their coach. The controversial Arjen Robben will try to help him, after confirming his presence on the pitch and asking Mexican fans to let go of that questionable call during last summer's World Cup. The Oranje will not have Nigel De Jong available for this match.
On the other hand, the Mexicans will try to save face against their most recent World Cup foe. Despite what coach Miguel Herrera says, this match has been marked in every calendar since it was announced, so the Team in Green will try to provide some joy to their fans. This will be the first match for Mexico on European soil since 2010, and they will have most of their foreign-based players available, including Carlos Vela, who estranged himself from El Tri after the 2010 World Cup. Herrera will try to convince Vela to become a regular with the National Team, and this match may be a good chance to do so. The only foreign-based player not available for El Tri will be Rafa Marquez, who asked not to be called up for this European tour. Mexico will play Belarus on November 18 to complete this year's International agenda.
