Netherlands 3-0 Japan Match Prediction

The Netherlands felt the need to give respect to Japan, before the two met in the second match of Group E on Saturday (19 / 6). Not because the Blue Samurai is able to defeat Cameroon, but because the Dutch have bad memories of a friendly in Enschede, September 2009.

At that time the Dutch 'tricked' Japan for one hour, before finally scoring three goals in the last 25 minutes. The Netherlands believes Japan can do it again. But they also believe will be able to beat one of the representatives of Asia and reached the second round of tickets to the World Cup in 2010.

Playmaker Wesley Sneijder still have memories of that game. According to him, one hour 'tricked' the Japanese making fun of the Dutch public. "Since the game that we absolutely respect the Japanese," said Sneijder.

Van Marwijk is still projected to lower the same formation, such as when facing the Danish. Eljero Elia, who looked impressive when a player penggati in the first game, was still sitting on the bench. Arjen Robben has been practicing, but still risky to play.

In the Japanese stronghold, is the final victory over Cameroon Blue Samurai bad appearance under coach Takeshi Okada. The victory, which according to Okada, thanks to short game typical of traditional Japanese baits, which combined the compact style of play to survive.

Okada said he did not care about all those comments about the game against Cameroon. What matters, he said, Japan reached three figures.

Yuki Abe, the Japanese midfielder survived, promised to make the Netherlands exhaustion and defeat. According to him, Japan will play as when in Enschede, but without the three goals that make the Blue Samurai defeated.
