Slovakia is that team that most people forget about-- until they beat you. They have already exceeded expectations by reaching the last 16 in their first World Cup and hope to repeat the lively performance that beat Italy when they face Netherlands in the next round.
Netherlands is a perennial favorite, but tends not to deliver until World Cup finals time. Will 2010 be the Year of Orange? No matter what happens next, the teams have already broken new ground for their country on soccer's biggest stage.
The Netherlands play Slovakia in the Round of 16 match in Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban on the 28th of June 2010 at 3:00:00 PM BST. The referee will be Alberto Undiano (Spain).
