World Cup - 2014 Brazil

Well, hardly possible, if spain wins against Chile n Australia they have 6points,if Chile beats Netherlands they have 6 points as well,and the dutch too, might end up the dutch out.... Noone will go through second place as u face a stronger team and well yes spain needs to come from a few goles behind but i think its doable, but interesting

My bad for not clarifying my post. I only think Holland will be in a position to rest players (to prevent yellow card accumulation or rest minor injuries) if they beat Australia by several goals to create what should be a safe goal differential. I was checking some of Austrilia's post-qualification friendlies from this season and saw they suffered a pair of 6:0 defeats to Brazil and France respectfully in addition to blowing a 3 goal lead in a 3:4 loss to Ecuador. I understand they're friendlies and not sure if the starters played but it was those three games that got me thinking a situation where the Dutch have a GD of +8 or more after the Austrilia game is possible, which could lend itself to a situation where they may be able to rest players for the final game.
