The coach of the Dutch national team, Louis van Gaal, was not particularly pleased with the draw for the 2014 World Cup.
Today, the draw ceremony took place in Brazil, and in Group B the Dutch will face Spain, Australia, and Chile. In the first match, the Dutch team will have to face the world champions.
"It's too early to draw any conclusions, but I think the draw is not favorable to us," van Gaal said immediately after the ceremony.
"We will start the tournament against Spain, and then we will face the Australian team, about which we don't know much, but I was impressed by their performance against Colombia," added the coach.
The runners-up of the World Cup in Brazil will start on June 13th, with the match taking place at the stadium in Salvador, which can accommodate 56 thousand spectators.
