Netherlands vs USA preview
Although one of the traditional European powerhouses, three-time finalists the Netherlands will not be taking anything for granted in this last 16 clash. Louis Van Gaal’s men cruised through what was arguably the easiest group of them all but there are still some questions to be answered. Goalkeeper Andries Noppert has been solid so far, but he had never played for his country before this tournament, as the pressure ramps up how will he cope? Having not qualified for the 2018 tournament the same concerns could be leveled at a whole generation of the Oranje’s players. The Netherlands do however have real quality throughout their squad. Virgil Van Dijk and Mathias De Ligt are better than any central defenders the USA has faced so far and forward Cody Gakpo has scored in all three games so far.
In winning against Iran in difficult circumstances, Gregg Berhalter’s young USA side came of age. Although they go into this match as underdogs, they won’t be lacking in belief. Their clash against England, in which they drew 0-0, could act as a useful blueprint for this meeting. Regardless of how it ends this World Cup will have given key USA players plenty of experience for the next edition of the competition (in 2026, which they will co-host). So far the USMNT has proved very difficult to break down and they have only conceded one goal, but at the other end of the field, they have struggled, with just two goals scored. Expect this to be a close game.
Every game could be the last for any nation now so emotions will be running high as the quality teams start to make their mark, starting with the Netherlands vs USA live stream. Don't miss it.
Netherlands vs USA team news
The Netherlands aren't suffering from any serious injury problems, meaning that Louis Van Gaal can take his pick of players for this last 16 contest. In fact, Van Gaal has opted to name the same starting XI that beat Qatar in the side's final group match. Barcelona forward Memphis Depay is still nursing a hamstring injury but completed 60 minutes against Qatar last time and has a spot on the bench. Cody Gakpo is one of the tournament’s breakout stars and will be looking to grab his fourth goal of the World Cup.
The USA make two changes from the side that beat Iran: Walker Zimmerman replaces Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jesus Ferreira comes in ahead of Josh Sargent who is injured. Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic put his body on the line to score against Iran and suffered a groin injury but has recovered in time to face the Netherlands. Pulisic's inclusion from the start is a huge boon for Berhalter’s side as he's a crucial player with big game experience at club level.
Netherlands: Noppert, Timber, Van Dijk, Ake, Gakpo, Depay, Klaassen, De Roon, Blind, De Jong, Dumfries.
USA: Turner, Dest, Zimmerman, Adams, Robinson, Musah, McKennie, Ferreira, Pulisic, Ream, Weah.
