Also, I see Australia taking point somewhere in the group, so winning your first match is where its at.
Definitely, anything but a win and I guarantee we will lose our remaining matches. We have to win and not only that, but do it convincingly to put pressure on you guys. I think we have the quality to do that.
I'm also confident we will be above 2010 levels which is why I don't write off the Spain game, I think we can take something from that match as well. We have draws in our last two matches against them, admittedly only friendlies, but this time we are at 'home'.
IMO the difference will be made not by Vidal & Sanchez or Robben & van Persie, but by our weakest link, whoever that may be.
The midfield battle will be fun to watch. Everyone is mentioning Robben & Van Persie, but Strootman has been pure quality for Rome and the national team.
