Playing against the Dutch you need your best defense, and even that the Dutch has a notorious habit of breaking down strong defenses as if they were playing schoolkids... the score will not tell the story of how the different HOlland and Japan are, even if the Dutch beats them like 6-0. Then again, Holland is not taking this friendly that seriously like the Japanese, so...
