After a chalk first set of games in Group E, here comes a matchup with that rare quality of making chalk shrug.
They are part of an ever-growing portion of the World Cup field that can reasonably expect to compete with the United States over 90 minutes, having done so in that 2-0 loss four years ago and again in a 2021 Olympics quarterfinal that required penalty kicks to settle a 2-2 draw. The Netherlands started four different players in its starting 11 in a 1-0 win against Portugal, and are missing star striker Vivianne Miedema, out with an ACL tear.
“Their midfielders, [Jackie] Groenen, [Danielle] van de Donk, [Sherida] Spitse — who maybe is playing in the back line now — are just very aggressive players. And they transition very quickly as well. Their defenders are very physical, very aggressive in pressing what’s in front of them, so I know I’m gonna have a lot of pressure on my back.”Both teams played similar openers, dominating the chances while converting fewer than they would have liked.
