Usually, Dutch squads contain a few highly rated youngsters.



During the World Cup in 2006, for example, the Dutch had Wesley Sneijder, who was still playing for Ajax at the time. In 2010, the Dutch had Gregory van der Wiel, who would later go on to play for Paris Saint-Germain.



This time around, though, the Netherlands' youngsters don't seem quite as well known as players such as Wesley Sneijder. But that doesn't mean they aren't there.



Daley Blind, who won the "Golden Boot" award for best player of the Eredivisie this season, is an excellent young left-back, whose versatility allows him to play as a defensive midfielder as well.



Up front, there's PSV's Memphis Depay, who broke through this season to become one of the most feared strikers in the Eredivisie.



Then there's Feyenoord's midfielder Jordy Clasie, who has a good chance of replacing the injured Kevin Strootman in Van Gaal's first XI.



Although it remains to be seen how these youngsters will cope during the World Cup, it's fair to say that there is definitely some talent in the Dutch squad.
