The Dutch breezed through qualifying unbeaten and rattled in 27 goals, so the ambition — a semi-final, no less — is hardly outlandish. But Koeman has had to lean on durability over flair as injuries and patchy minutes nibble at his squad, and a tournament opener against Japan will probe whether this group has gelled in time. With Van Dijk anchoring a back four that looks the real deal, the question is whether the rest of the team catches up to its defence.
