In many ways, the Netherlands are the nearly-men of the modern era. Despite making it to three World Cup finals (in 1974, 1978, and 2010), the European nation has finished as runners up-every time. Can Virgil van Dijk and Dutch legend Ronald Koeman finally end that long wait for a major title for Oranje?
Meanwhile, Japan are fast becoming a very exciting team to watch. The Asian nation has stars like Kaoru Mitoma, Takefusa Kubo, and Takumi Minamino to thank for helping create what is arguably the strongest line-up in the country's history right now. Hajime Moriyasu has his team playing vibrant football, and they could really establish themselves on the world stage this summer.
