Prior to the tournament, I spoke to Dutch football writer Elko Born for Team 33 about the Netherlands' chances of success at this World Cup.

Optimism was thin on the ground. But the Oranje confounded all expectations as Louis Van Gaal guided the nation to within penalty kicks of a fourth World Cup final.

After last night's semi-final defeat to Argentina, I caught up with Born again and we spoke about the progress made by the Netherlands' young players, the regard Arjen Robben is held in both in terms of talent and diving, and what the future holds now that Van Gaal is stepping down and Guus Hiddink is coming in.

Will Hiddink abandon the pragmatism brought in by Van Gaal and try to mark a return to Total Football?
