Script:
2010 runners up Netherlands have arrived in Brazil for the World Cup finals. The squad landed in Rio in the early hours of Friday morning more in hope than expectation that they can go one better than their extra-time defeat to Spain four years ago.
Louis van Gaal says there is a 20 percent chance his side can reach the quarter-finals. This will be his last tournament in charge before he takes over at Manchester United. He will rely heavily on his new club's striker Robin van Persie for goals here.
Together, he, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt have 351 caps compare that to the inexperienced defence, the eight players there have just 75 appearances between them.
Netherlands have the ideal start to avenge their defeat in South Africa as they face the world champions in Salvador in their opening Group B match next Friday.
