Featured Game | Netherlands vs. United States
Why you should back the Netherlands
The Dutch have a world class midfielder in Frenkie de Jong. The 25-year-old for Barcelona is strong both in possession and in finding teammates with piercing passes. In the Netherlands’ final group stage game, against Qatar, he also added his first goal in his last 37 appearances with the national team.
In addition, the Netherlands have a world class back line. Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk is the leader of a back-three, which also includes Nathan Aké of Manchester City and either Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt or Ajax’s Jurrien Timber. The Dutch have allowed only one goal through three games. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back the USA
Tyler Adams has been a force for the Americans. A 23-year-old defensive midfielder who plays for Leeds United in the Premier League, Adams has been a sideline-to-sideline tackling machine throughout the tournament, tracking back to thwart opponents’ attacks before they can become real threats. He has a team-high 10 tackles entering Saturday’s showdown. Led by Adams, the Americans have allowed only one goal in Qatar, which came on a penalty kick.
In addition, the United States have outperformed the Dutch in multiple metrics so far in the 2022 World Cup. The Americans have taken more shots (28 to 25), created more chances (23 to 19) and completed more take-ons (22 to 12) than the Netherlands. See which team to pick here.
