USA vs Netherlands Preview
The United States returns to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2014 from its 1-0 win over Iran on Tuesday, November 29. Now, the U.S. men’s national team seeks its first quarterfinal appearance in 20 years when facing the Netherlands on Saturday.
“From here, anything can happen,” U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter told the media via NPR. “All we need to do is play one game at a time. There’s no need to even project how far this team can go because our next match is against Holland, and that’s our main focus.”
No words.
While the Americans have mustered only two goals in the tournament thus far, the team hasn’t lost yet with a 1-0-2 mark. The Netherlands (2-0-1) meanwhile has five goals and two shutout wins thus far. Berhalter said the U.S. has done its homework.
“We’ve had multiple people at [the Netherlands] group stage games,” Berhalter said via NPR, “so [we’re] really doing a deep dive on them. All the information was presented to us immediately after the game against Iran. You [also] have to realize it could be a 120-minute exercise and you have to plan your lineups and substitutions accordingly. And then finally you have the penalty kicks, which we practiced yesterday and we’ll practice again today.”
Another challenge awaits U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner, who has two clean sheets in a win and tie during Group B. After two ties, the U.S. broke through with a win on the third try amid Turner’s second clean sheet. Turner’s success on the world stage is the latest of his improbable story of moving up from a small Division I school, Fairfield, in Connecticut.
“I’ve done my reflecting. It’s crazy — bananas even,” Turner told The Washington Post before the World Cup. “It’s stuff you wouldn’t even think to write about because it would be like, ‘Oh, that doesn’t even make sense. That’s not real.’ It’s a pretty wild story compared to the people that I share a locker room with every day and their upbringing through the game. It’s a unicorn.”
Christian Pulisic, who scored the game-winning goal against Iran as he got injured, will play against the Netherlands on Saturday. Pulisic sustained a pelvic contusion from his collision amid the goal.
“[The U.S.] is a very energetic squad, with physically strong players,” Netherlands head coach Louis van Gaal told reporters through an interpreter via NPR. “That’s tough for any opponent, and you can tell with their results. I don’t think [the U.S. advancing to the knockout round] is a surprise, to be frank. I expected they would progress after the first match [against Wales].”
The winner of the U.S.-Netherlands will face the winner of Argentina-Australia on December 9.
