The Qatar World Cup 2022 is midway with 16 of the top teams ready to begin their second-round journey for the coveted trophy. The Round of 16 or the knockout stage of the World Cup begins on Saturday with the first match to be played between the United States and The Netherlands.
The USMNT will try to give in their best against the mighty Dutch after claiming a tense but significant 1-0 victory over Iran earlier in the week. The Netherlands squad, one of the tournament’s top contenders, will also try to get back to their old form, as they haven’t look that impressive so far in the tournament. Here’s how to watch the USA vs Netherlands Round of 16 World Cup match.
Tough Contest
There has been a lot of talk about the Dutch team’s potential to win the Qatar World Cup, all coming from the Dutch camp. This claim has mainly come from senior coach Louis van Gaal, who enjoys a little mental coaxing and sparring.
Although The Netherlands won its first-round group, it struggled in all three matches against Senegal, Ecuador, and the Qatari hosts, providing little support for their arrogance.
That will give the Americans the much-required confidence. The Americans will go into the match as underdogs but the USMNT has already proved their mettle by remaining undefeated in Group B. The USMNT pulled two draws against England and Wales and defeated Iran with a spirited victory.
La Oranje, are led by lanky starlet Cody Gakpo, who is only 23 years old. He has made this World Cup his own by scoring in all three of his games. Over the course of the campaign, the PSV playerâwho has frequently been connected with some of Europe’s top teamsâhas shown that he can be a real handful for defenders.
With just one goal allowed during the first 270 minutes of the World Cup, and that goal coming off a penalty, the American defense has been the backbone of the team. Gakpo, Memphis Depay, and Steven Bergwijn make for a potent front three, thus the Netherlands could pose as significant a threat to the Americans as any they have encountered thus far.
