Its like France in 98 vs Parguay and Italy 2nd round and qtr finals and Germany in 2006 shootout ve Argentina. It doesnt matter. Penalties or not, the good teams AT home will always find a way through. Even if it means the refs will rig it like korea 2002, ad they still got the win on penalties. Good teams like Italy, Germany, Brazil, France at home will go to the semis minimum. This year ay be the exception as Colombia are still in good form even then id like Brazil. Brazil also had a legit goal wrongly adjudged to be handball and Uruguay should of had a penalty too. Changes things dramatically.
In any case, Ill stand by what I said. Whether Holland win by a goal, 2 goals, 3 goals, extra time or penalties { where they suck } they will go through. Mexico always go in the 2nd round and their style will suit the dutch. Too much class with RVP, robben and Sneijder. Holland take this.
