DAY FOUR OF the World Cup features a fascinating encounter between the Netherlands and Japan.
The Dutch are the only team to appear in three finals without ever winning the tournament.
Japan, meanwhile, are making their eighth appearance at the competition, but have never advanced further than the round of 16.
Due to their more illustrious pedigree and bigger-name players, Ronald Koeman’s side will be favourites in this encounter, although Japan are more than capable of causing an upset — they earned surprise wins over both Spain and Germany at the 2022 World Cup.
