Want to bet that the Orange will become world champion football in Qatar? John de Bever dares to take that bet, he is convinced that the Netherlands will win the title. Radio presenter Koen Wijn absolutely does not see it happening, as it turned out on Friday in the Omroep Brabant radio program Wakker! And so they take on the challenge together.
“Nobody believes in it, but I really think the Netherlands has a chance. Precisely because the rest is nothing. It has been a mediocre tournament so far”, said John de Bever on Friday at Omroep Brabant.
According to him, the Dutch national team can only get better. “Can’t get any worse. They have grown in the tournament. You will soon see a motivated Netherlands. And Louis van Gaal always has a bit of luck hanging on his ass, then it will be fine.”
“They will be in the final against Brazil.”
When radio presenter Koen Wijn opposes this, the idea arises to make a bet. “You will run the marathon in Eindhoven when the Netherlands becomes world champion,” the singer suggests. If the Orange does not become world champion, De Bever will put on his running shoes for a marathon, preferably in New York.
His forecast for this weekend? “They win against the United States. And then later they will be in the final against Brazil.”
Koen Wijn, meanwhile, hopes that the Dutch will not become champions. “Terrible, what have I even started.”
