HOLLAND versus Turkey.

The favourite versus the underdog.

The thoroughbred against the dark horse.

That would the dream final for Oranje fan Au.

'I want to see an underdog in the final, they will play as if they have nothing to lose,' said the 26-year-old.

'If it were two big teams, say Holland and Germany, they would be very cautious of each other and play a little more defensively.'

The football coach, who works at a football academy based in Safra Tampines, also predicted that Germany will outgun Portugal, and Italy will be victorious over Spain in the quarter-finals.

'The Germans are far more experienced and resilient than the Portuguese, and the former has players who are individually technically good.'

Of the Italy-Spain match, the Arsenal fan said: 'I hope Spain wins, because Cesc Fabregas (an Arsenal player) plays for them, but I think Italy will win, especially if it comes down to a penalty shoot-out.'
