Many had the Netherlands down as dark horses coming into the World Cup but despite winning Group A, netting five goals and conceding once, there’s a lack of enthusiasm about their chances with many observers dubbing Louis van Gaal’s side “boring”, a term the wily Dutchman refuses to accept. “That’s disappointing but I don’t agree with you,” he said to one reporter.
“That’s your opinion but I don’t think your opinion is the correct opinion. I think everyone would be rather proud we are progressing to the next round. I think things are not as bad as you say they are.”
Playing style aside, Cody Gakpo is having a perfect tournament having netted in each of the Netherlands’ opening three games. He’ll be who the United States will be keeping tabs on though head coach Gregg Berhalter will be sweating on the fitness of talismanic forward Christian Pulisic who came off in their 1-0 win over Iran, where he scored the winner, suffering a bout of dizziness following a blow to his abdomen.
“I sent him a text and checked on him and he said, ‘Best believe I’ll be ready on Saturday’,” ESPN quoted his team-mate Weston McKennie as saying.
