9. Netherlands vs. Cameroon, June 24, 2:30 p.m. -- The Dutch have a tendency to hit a sweet spot about this time in major tournaments. It's usually around the second or third match -- after the initial draw borne of overconfidence and before the inevitable collapse borne of internal bickering (or hot-headed lunacy as we saw four years ago in the Portuguese-Dutch back-alley brawl). But in between, they can be simply amazing. And if you've seen some of Robin van Persie's recent strikes, you know why hopes are rising among the side's substantial worldwide support.

9. 荷蘭vs. 喀麥隆，6月24日下午2:30 荷蘭隊有一種痼疾，遇到重大比賽立馬想勝開得勝，馬到成功。通常是在比賽進行到第二或第三場時——比賽開始后斗志昂揚過于自信，比賽結束前便內部爭吵不攻自破（或稱之為頭腦發熱的瘋子行徑，正如我們四年前在世界杯所看到的情形那樣，葡萄牙-荷蘭之戰演化成一場市井之徒惡斗的鬧劇）。然而兩隊之間，場上的廝殺狀態又何其驚人。如果你看過羅賓·范·佩西最近的進攻表演，你就不難知道，為何該隊在世界范圍之內支持率何等空前。
