Featured Game | Netherlands vs. United States
Why you should back 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 USA
Despite having the second-youngest roster of the 32 teams that earned their way to World Cup 2022, the USMNT fought their way out of the group stage thanks to three well-organized matches defensively. Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah have made the midfield and unquestionable strength for the Stars and Stripes and that reliability in the middle third anchored draws against Wales and England as well as the win over Iran.
Meanwhile, wingers Pulisic and Timothy Weah attacked the space effectively, scoring the USMNT’s two goals with well-timed runs following impressive link-up play. And while Pulisic was hurt scoring his goal to send the USMNT through against Iran, he’s already been on social media making it clear that he intends to play on Saturday. Pulisic is a world-class player and general difference-maker and his creativity on the ball will be paramount in the USMNT breaking through once again. See which team to pick here.
