There should be plenty of fireworks when holders Spain and attack-minded Netherlands square off in the opening fixture of Group B at Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, with some of world’s best strikers on display.
And while La Furia Roja boss Vicente Del Bosque has yet to decide between Diego Costa and Fernando Torres, Louis van Gaal has no such problems as Manchester United star Robin van Persie will be the focal point of his attack, supported by Arjen Robben.
Seeing as how the experienced striker will be very motivated to prove his worth at the biggest stage, it is important to note that Ladbrokes enhanced the price on Van Persie to score the first goal from 6/1 to staggering 12/1.
Even if the Spain v Netherlands game does not start until 20:00 GMT, the amazing offer will only be available from kick off (17:00 GMT) until the first goal is scored in the first match of the day between Mexico and Cameroon.
