You should sleep on Netherlands, they may not be looking like favorites here, but the reality is that they have a great path to be a good team for a while. First they have an easier group than most, then if they finish first then they will face the second of another group which could be a worse team again, and then they will face the team who beats the other one which is understandable and quarter finals would be harder but that's a good path to take, a few good lottery and you get yourself an easy way to go.
I believe that they are not the contenders right now but they are also not a horrible team neither that could end up in finals.
Yeah, that's kinda what I think might happen.
It's basically a strong team, that with a bit of luck in a couple of matches could actually end up winning the world cup.
If you compare it with weaker teams like Qatar for example, I don't think they would be able to win, even if they get lucky a couple of times.
