Two of the group stage’s best sides collide in Fortaleza on Sunday, as the Netherlands take on Mexico for a place in the World Cup 2014 quarter-finals.
Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands went all the way to final four years ago in South Africa, and they got off to the best possible start on their mission to go one better this time around, winning their opening three matches.
Mexico, meanwhile, were the surprise package of Group A—defeating Cameroon and Croatia with minimal fuss and holding hosts Brazil to a 0-0 draw. With both nations in sublime form heading into the round-of-16 clash, it could be a tight affair at the Estadio Castelao.
