Administrator Stan Posted December 3, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted December 3, 2022 Wright will never score a goal like that ever again. Defies the laws of physics how he's scored like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 3, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted December 3, 2022 That was expected. This US team needs to do a lot to become competitive in the later stages of a tournament. Their passing was poor, the retention was pointless and in the end their finishing was what let them down. A better striker today and they get 3 goals.

Waylander Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Interesting it looked like the Netherlands did to the US today what the US did to England in the group stage. Very clever play by the Netherlands. Du Pay looks on form again took his goal well and looked lively. Credit to the Us they had a go, pity they could not get Weah running down the right a bit more.

Reluctant Striker Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I did think USA would make it more difficult. The Netherlands route to the final is perhaps Q-Final vs Argentina, who are looking very, very beatable & semi vs Brazil, or anyone who stops Brazil, from South Korea, Japan or Croatia. I am starting to think a 4th final appearance would not at all be beyond them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASF Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This Holland team have less quality than previous Dutch teams, but they looked solid today, after a relatively easy group phase. Think they will eliminate Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This was quite a comfortable win for the Netherlands. Depay's early goal was excellently struck after the ball was cut back to him. Blind then scored the 2nd goal, where again, he struck home a ball that was cut back to him right at the end of the first half. At that point, it felt like there was no chance of a USA comeback. However, Wright scored an incredible goal to pull a goal back for the US with a quarter of an hour of the match to go. But the Netherlands extended their lead 5 minutes later, when Dumfries found himself free at the far post, and he made no mistake, by volleying the ball into the back of the net from Blind's cross. The Netherlands look strong defensively and with de Jong playing excellently in midfield, as well as Gakpo and Depay looking real threats in attack, their team seems to work very well. Argentina will find it very difficult to defeat this solid looking Netherlands team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panna King Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 On 02/12/2022 at 09:54, Panna King said: I think our game will come back in the knockout stages, we played with so much energy leading up to the world cup, blowing teams away and scoring a lot of goals. Its good in a way that we have just been in 1st gear in the group games, we can only improve. I just think the biggest problem is the link up with midfield and attack, as the midfield comes too deep so there is a huge gap between the attackers. Van Gaal needs to go back to put Depay at number 10 and Bergwijn with Gakpo upfront. I think we will beat the USA 2-0, they always seem to tire very early on in the 2nd half, they struggled against Wales and Iran. As per my prediction before the game, we would be better and win by 2 goals. We will grow now in next game, I don't see anything from Argentina to worry about at all unless you stand off and wank over Messi like some other teams have done. I think we will win this comfortable, with our solid defence, the only thing I be worried about is if just play against the name and give Argentina too much respect. their defence can be got at very easy with pace.
