The Netherlands, led by the historic Louis Van Gaal, is a team that goes from defense to attack with speed, although it was not noted to be compact in its midfield and with problems to convert.
In defense Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool central defender) and Daley Blind (son of the historic Danny Blind) are extremely reliable, Frankie De Jong is the “different” in the midfield and up front they have one of the revelations of the tournament : Cody Gakpo, 23-year-old attacker for PSV and is one of the World Cup’s top scorers with three goals.
The United States had its best performance in its World Cup history by reaching the quarterfinals of Korea-Japan 2022, when it was eliminated by Germany 1-0 and this time Gregg Berhalter’s team, in charge since 2018, has confidence in be able to move forward
The American team, which is preparing to host the next World Cup in 2026, has its “Jewel” in Christian Pulisic, a hierarchy player who shines in English Chelsea and scored the qualifying goal against Iran.
Berhalter’s men also have Sergiño Dest in defense, from Italian Milan, Timothy Weah in attack, striker for French Lille, and two all-terrain midfielders such as Weston McKennie, Juventus from Italy, and Tyler Adams, from English Leeds.
This time there are no favoritisms in favor of the Netherlands, the comparison does not offer a candidate, and the United States, from what they showed, can settle among the eight best in the tournament.
