I don't think Slovakia will have a chance. They have conceded 5 goals in the group stage and scored only 4. Netherlands have scored 5 goals and conceded only 1. Otherwise if you consider the massive streak of Holland and the restrained and tactical approach displayed in the group stages I think Netherlands will step up and deliver all the way to the finals!!! You can't argue with results, the dutch players have been very restrained throughout the group stage and with the return of Robben and their already capable team the Netherlands are HOT favorites right now
