Now, Live Soccer TV takes charge of breaking down before you the top 5 hot questions that involves Holland’s national football team.

1) Holland’s Wesley Sneijder For A Historic Quadruple?

Treble winner Wesley Sneijder could make history by becoming the first Dutch player to win four major trophies in the same year. Sneijder won the Italian Seria A, the Coppa Italia Nazionale, and the UEFA Champions League with Inter Milan last season. The influential midfielder has now qualified with the Netherlands to play in the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Can Wesley Sneijder win his second title in less than 60 days and thus make a historic quadruple?

 

2) Holland’s Wesley Sneijder To Beat David Villa?

Wesley Sneijder is definitely worth receiving a lot of attention from the media and from Live Soccer TV as he has been singled out as the man to watch for the Dutch. Wesley Sneijder has five goals and is neck to neck with Spain’s David Villa as both players are the hot favorites to scoop the 2010 FIFA Golden Ball and 2010 FIFA Golden Boot awards. Can Wesley Sneijder offer pride to the Netherlands by surpassing Spain’s David Villa at the end of the tournament?

3) First World Cup Trophy For The Netherlands?

Holland will be playing in their third World Cup final and hope that luck is on their side this time. In 1974 and in 1978, the Dutch suffered defeat in the final of the World Cup. Like Spain, the Oranje have never lifted the World Cup trophy. Has their time come to do so?

4) Holland To Maintain Their 100% World Cup record?Holland's Wesley Sneijder celebrates.

From Match-day One to the semi-final stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands’ 100% record remained untouched. Along the road, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon, Slovakia, Brazil, and Uruguay most recently all fell victim to the Oranje’s spectacular winning run. Whether they play ugly football or not, Bert van Marwijk’s side always comes up with the perfect result.

Their opponents on Sunday, Spain, cannot boast of such a record since they lost to Switzerland on Match-day One of the competition. History tells that no team has ever won the World Cup after losing its first match of the tournament. Can the Netherlands take advantage of this fact and pursue their 100% record as they win the 19th edition of the FIFA World Cup.

5) Holland’s Goal Scoring Form To Break Down Spain’s Defensive Walls?

Definitely, the Dutch can’t compare their defensive statistics to Spain’s record. The Netherlands have already conceded 5 goals in 6 games compared to the Spanish who can boast about 4 clean sheets in South Africa as they’ve only conceded two goals. But the Netherlands have scored 12 goals – almost twice as much as the Spanish. The questions are: can they be the third team only to score against Spain at the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Can they spoil Spain’s record of three consecutive clean sheets and 1-0 wins?
