    Gotta give Sweden some credit. They really pushed and tried to win their match at the end.

    Netherlands are solid as they usually are in World Cups.

    NL v Morocco will be one of the stand out matches of the 1/16 finals. Not only 2 good teams and evenly matched on paper, but winner is basically into the quarters.

    Nah, I think it will be a close affair. Think NED-JPN type.

    Morocco v Netherlands is basically a split 50/50 game. The 2 teams are too close to really separate. Anything can happen, including it being "comfortable" for either team.

    The most likely outcome is a hard fought draw with extra time.

    The one serious advantage I give to the Dutch is their centrebacks. That is where they are clearly superior, but Morocco has other strengths.

    I see it being at least 2-0. But we shall see. Morocco knows how to defend and play smart.

    Im not sure. Normally I would’ve given the edge to Brazil but they’re hit with an injury crisis with Raphina, Wesley, Rodrygo, etc all out, and that drastically weakens the team.
