Top 5 contenders for FIFA World Cup 2014

With the FIFA World Cup in Brazil less than eight months away, we look at the top five favourites for the tournament:

5. The Netherlands

The Netherlands have reached three World Cup finals but are yet to get their hands on the holy grail. Can they finally do it? If the qualification phase was anything to go by, they have every chance.

Oranje‘s main strength lies in attack with Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, and Wesley Sneidjer being the heartbeat of the team. The Dutch also have a swarm of talented young players – Kevin Strootman Bruno Martins Indi, Georginio Wijnaldum, Leroy Fer, etc – all of whom will be eager to get on the plane to Brazil.
