The Netherlands does not have many players who shine like squads from other countries, only a few players who have top names. however, that does not mean their performance will be very doubtful in this world cup stage. after all they have statistics that are quite impressive, in 15 matches, they played quite well and smoothly without defeat.

meaning, their probability of qualifying in the next group stage is wide open compared to other contestants who are members of group A. and, maybe in the Qatar world cup later, they could give us a surprise.
as for the other three contestants, such as Senegal, Ecuador, Qatar, they must at least try to beat the Netherlands if they want to qualify for the next phase.

Netherlands have a solid team in the world cup and i think they will pass the group stage maybe one more knockout faze and i think that will be it. I dont think they have that mentality or quality to win the biggest tournament. Netherlands will pass the group probobly at first place.

Like Croatia's journey in the 2018 world cup, they were a team that was not seeded in the world cup at that time as a strong candidate who would enter the final round. however, in the end Croatia was able to answer the pessimism and was able to beat their opponents until they entered the final round.
in the Qatar world cup, the Croatian squad remains the underdog team who are not too favorites to win the Qatar world cup. however, his existence will always be counted as one of the challengers in this championship.

so is the Netherlands, as we all know.
they don't really have the names of famous stars like stars from favorite countries. doesn't mean they don't have a chance at the Qatar world cup later. after all, the Netherlands have a very solid teamwork and that is evident in their stats.
after all, the Netherlands twice knocked out Belgium in the League of Nations. and I think, enough capital for them to become one of the challengers in the world cup later, even though as an underdog team.
