Netherlands vs USA Match Preview and Team News
Netherlands
The Netherlands were unbeaten through group stage play as well but looked shaky at times, especially against Ecuador, who pressed them into oblivion, as the Dutch were lucky to escape with a point. Still, Louis van Gaal’s side is on a spectacular 18-match unbeaten run, and the U.S. will need its best performance of the tournament to advance in historic fashion. For the Netherlands, Memphis Depay missed the group stage opener, came off the bench for their next game, then started and played 60 minutes against Qatar. It’s uncertain how match fit he is now, having missed two months of club action leading into the World Cup, but he seems to be tracking toward another start here against the U.S. Cody Gakpo plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Steven Bergwijn is a guy who causes a lot of problems for the opponent on the left side. He is fast and unstoppable in a one-on-one game.
USA
The United States managed to scrap and claw their way through Group B and now find themselves in the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup, where they’ll face the No. 8 ranked team in the world, the Netherlands. While the opponent is an established European power with a proven World Cup pedigree, it’s still a soft draw considering they have avoided seeing the likes of Brazil, France, Argentina, Spain, or any other top tournament favorite. The biggest injury to follow in this match is the pelvic contusion suffered by Christian Pulisic while scoring his winner against Iran. He was subbed off in that match and taken to a local hospital, which the team called a “precaution. Tyler Adams shows talent, he has excellent ball control, and can play in multiple positions, and every team needs such a player. Weah is the engine of this team, he goes through the defense of the opponent like a fast train, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his games.
