Glad we are talking about the tournament again.

I don't believe that Holland will underestimate Mexico. Louis van Gaal is far too good a manager for that to happen.

However, what worries me is their inexperience at this level. The results from the group stage somewhat mask that the back line was very vulnerable at times. Outside of the big three (van Persie, Robben, Sneijder), the players have not been through many high-stakes elimination games.

Also, this game is in Fortaleza, in the far north of Brazil. Holland's three previous games were in the more temperate South. That may be a big advantage for Mexico.
