Vs

Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal welcomes back captain Robin van Persie from suspension.

Bruno Martins Indi will only be on the bench so Dirk Kuyt continues at left back.

Mexico coach Miguel Herrera is without Jose Vasquez, who serves a one-match ban, so Carlos Salcido is expected to take his place.

Aside from that, they are expected to be unchanged from the side that beat Croatia.

Think this is the first match where I feel completely neutral...should be a good game if Mexico don't fall to pieces.
