Holland vs Senagal is hardly an outstanding tie.

I'm fairly sure Senagal have been the opening match before. Think it was against defending champions at the time, France in 2002.

I always thought it was either the host or the defending champions that played the first match, that's why I don't get why Holland vs Senagal are opening.
