預(yù)測(cè)：西班牙2-0荷蘭
據(jù)英國(guó)442足球網(wǎng)站6月12日?qǐng)?bào)道，西班牙與荷蘭的小組賽比賽可看做是2010年世界杯決賽的重現(xiàn)，也可以看做是電影《搏擊俱樂部》（Fight Club）續(xù)集。
A re-run of the 2010 World Cup Final, aka Fight Club Pt. II.
賽事前瞻
the lowdown
《搏擊俱樂部》續(xù)集的第一條規(guī)則是什么呢？我們來看看這場(chǎng)比賽：這是一場(chǎng)崇尚進(jìn)攻的兩支球隊(duì)的較量，盡管他們?cè)谔蕴愲A段會(huì)碰到從巴西這個(gè)小組出線的隊(duì)伍，不過這場(chǎng)比賽也可以說是世界杯決賽的預(yù)演。
The first rule about Fight Club Pt. II? Talk about Fight Club Pt. II: a game between two of the more attack-minded teams that could quite conceivably be a World Cup final-in-waiting, even if this group's top two face Brazil's group qualifiers in the second round.
上次兩隊(duì)在世界杯碰面時(shí)，荷蘭隊(duì)視圖破壞西班牙富有靈性和激情的技術(shù)足球，最為著名的就是在比賽初期荷蘭隊(duì)德容（Nigel de Jong）對(duì)西班牙隊(duì)阿隆索（Xabi Alonso）狠踹胸口的惡意犯規(guī)，當(dāng)值主裁判韋伯（Howard Webb）不知為何，當(dāng)時(shí)沒有出示紅牌。
Last time, the Netherlands attempted to thwart Spain's technically superior attacking guile with physicality, most notably Nigel de Jong clattering into Xabi Alonso with a fearsome chest-high challenge in the game's early salvos. Howard Webb somehow neglected to wave a red card.
四年過去了，雖然荷蘭隊(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)被擊敗，不過兩隊(duì)間的實(shí)力已經(jīng)發(fā)生了一些變化。西班牙中場(chǎng)核心伊涅斯塔（Iniesta）和哈維（Xavi）組合年事已高，盡管他們?nèi)匀痪哂写蠖鄶?shù)球員沒有的超高球技，但是與前些年相比他們前進(jìn)的動(dòng)力有所不足。
Four years on, and with Holland defeated that night, the balance has shifted a little. The ageing Iniesta-Xavi midfield axis has less impetus than in previous years, though it still possesses superior safe-cracking credentials over most.
而荷蘭隊(duì)主教練范加爾（Louis van Gaal）清理了那些在2012年歐洲杯上令人失望的球員，并加入了一些新鮮血液，如中場(chǎng)球員克拉西（Jody Claise）和德古茲曼（Jonathan de Guzman）等。同時(shí)荷蘭隊(duì)還擁有一些經(jīng)驗(yàn)十足且極具威脅的球員，如范佩西（Robin van Persie）（世界杯預(yù)選賽階段進(jìn)球王，共打入11球）、斯內(nèi)德（Wesley Sneider）、羅本（Arjen Robben）等。
Meanwhile, Holland manager Louis van Gaal has shifted out some of the disappointing Euro 2012 personnel and rejuvenated his squad with the likes of midfielders Jody Claise and Jonathan de Guzman. Experience with threat can be found in Robin van Persie (top scorer in qualification with 11 goals), Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben.
比賽結(jié)果會(huì)是如何？如果兩隊(duì)都卯足干勁的話，這將是一場(chǎng)精彩絕倫的比賽，結(jié)果會(huì)是平局。
The verdict? If both teams stick to their positive MOs, this could be a mouthwatering tie.
