In response to this article: http://www.remezcla.com/2014/latin/six-reasons-mexico-might-send-holland-back-across-the-pond/.

1. The Fans.

As history proves, the Dutch are very good at copying things. We are also familiar with the headdresses and eagle wings. And unlike Mexico, we are able to pick just one unmistakable colour that shows our pride.

2. The Wall.

You might have a wall, but what purpose does it serve when you play against the flying Dutchman?

3. Chicharito.

Who? We’re talking substitutes? We have a few promising players too. Memphis Depay for example…

4. History.

So maybe that one match in the past ended up in a draw (and yes, if the match is decided by penalties, you will definitely win). But should I remind you of what happened to that other “potentially world cup winning” Spanish speaking country a little more than a week ago? I think this picture says it all.

5. Again, the Fans.

I will not comment on this argument. We don’t believe in swearing. Unless we play against Germany.

6. El Piojo.

Our (future Manchester United) coach probably responds best to this argument:

“So you think I am worse at celebrating our goals? Let me show you what ecstatic looks like”

I’m sorry to break it to you, but Holland is not going back home anytime soon.
