The two teams that met in the 2010 World Cup Final meet on day 2 of World Cup 2014 when the defending Champs Spain takes on the Netherlands, a team that figures to be battling just to move on past the Group stage this year. [ad-1519080]<\/p>\n

The Netherlands will be out to avenge a terrible Euro 2012 tournament while Spain will be after their fourth straight Major International tournament win \u2013 a victory in the opener will go a long way silencing some critics and gaining a little momentum for the month long event.<\/p>\n

Spain enters the tournament ranked #1 in the world for good reason \u2013 they have dominated International football for the past 10 years (outside of last year\u2019s Confederation Cup in Brazil).<\/p>\n

Spain has a tremendous mix of experience, youth, explosiveness, style and swagger \u2013 until someone knocks them off their perch they will deservedly carry around this confidence.
\n[ad-3678122]
\nSpain\u2019s ability to maintain possession should be on full display here \u2013 they are built to possess!<\/p>\n

With talent up and down the pitch, there is no reason to think that they won\u2019t come up with one of their patented hot starts in an international competition.<\/p>\n

Their opposition in the opener gave them fits in the Final of the last World Cup but this is another year, this is the Group stage and this is the time when Spain typically makes a huge statement.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands were terrific in qualifying with a +29 goal differential but a look at the teams they faced in the lead-up to the tournament shows the lack of class that they had to face \u2013 none of their opponents was even ranked in the top 30 in the world.<\/p>\n

Still, veterans like Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar are there as classy leaders and the youth of the team is represented by the terrific Memphis Depay and defenders Daley Blind and Daryl Janmaat.<\/p>\n

Simply put, the Dutch are no pushovers and should be right in the mix to move on to the knock-out stage of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands\u2019 defense could be the biggest question mark for this team ahead of 2014. They are a youngish bunch \u2013 not as experienced on the world stage as one would hope with Spain staring you in the face. The Dutch should be OK the rest of the tournament but the defenders will be in for a serious challenge right off the bat.<\/p>\n

Betting Prediction<\/h3>\n

Spain vs. the Netherlands may be the best of the opening matches at World Cup 2014. Spain is still the team to beat not only in Group B but in the tournament \u2013 look for them to make their usual statement early on and dispatch the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s possession game will be too much for the young defense \u2013 until someone knocks the Spaniards for their perch, I will take them at -118. This looks every bit like a 2-0 or 2-1 game!<\/p>\n
