An unchanged side from the one that beat Qatar feels likely for the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Gregg Berhalter has plenty of problems to contend with. Christian Pulisic was injured in the process of scoring the winning goal against Iran but he should still start after it was revealed his fitness was still being monitored ‘day-to-day’. Josh Sargent was sent for a scan on an ankle injury but he too will probably be available to start, permitting there are no major issues when the results of the scan return. Weston McKennie — who is carrying a yellow card into this one — has also been dealing with a knock but, like his two aforementioned team-mates, he should be fine to be involved.
While it was a night to remember for O’Reilly and Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe’s decision to kneel for the national anthem has stoked up controversy and all eyes will be on her pre-match again on Sunday. As reported by The Associated Press via the Guardian, the midfielder made the gesture to show her support for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is refusing to stand for the anthem to raise awareness for racial inequality. Jamie Sabau/Getty Images“As part of the privilege to represent your country, we have an expectation that our players and coaches will stand and honor our flag while the National Anthem is played, ” read a statement from U. Soccer on the controversy, per the same source. ESPN FC’s Jason Davis doesn’t understand why there’s been quite so much focus on Rapinoe’s actions:Jason Davis, The ⚽📻 Maker @davisjsnDon't expect it will change my mentions much, but Megan Rapinoe representing her country does not preclude her from pointing out its flaw.

The services of Pulisic will be required by the USMNT (Photo: Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images)Predicted line-upsNetherlands (3-5-2): Noppert; Timber, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Roon, Klaassen, De Jong, Blind; Gakpo, Depay. USA (4-3-3): Turner; Dest, Carter-Vickers, Ream, Robinson; Adams, McKennie, Musah; Weah, Sargent, Pulisic. The story so farOn paper, it seems that the Netherlands cruised through Group A as they picked up seven points in an unbeaten run, but they have not quite shown their best yet. Luckily for Van Gaal, Cody Gakpo has been a shining light and is perhaps the player of the tournament so far.
Netherlands vs USA preview: Last-16 analysis, team news and moreThe knockout stage at the 2022 World Cup gets underway with the USMNT’s last-16 tie against the Netherlands. The match will be played at the Khalifa International Stadium in Al-Rayyan. Wilton Sampaio will referee the match. He has also taken charge of a Netherlands match at this World Cup, having overseen their 2-0 group-stage win against Senegal, the Brazilian was also the man in the middle for the group game between Poland and Saudi Arabia. What time is Netherlands vs USA? The match kicks off at 6pm local time which means it will start at 3pm in the UK and the coverage will be shown on the BBC.
He opened the scoring with three valuable goals in all of their group games, against Senegal, Ecuador and Qatar. The first contributed to a rather late 2-0 win against the African champions, the second came inside six minutes against Ecuador and the third part of a routine victory against the World Cup hosts. USA, on the other hand, managed to escape the toughest group (according to the FIFA rankings).
USA: Sergino Dest, Weston McKennie, Tim Ream, Kellyn Acosta, Tyler Adams. What’s at stake? A place in the quarter-final. If they were to defy the odds and win, it would be the first time USA have played in a quarter-final since the defeat by Germany at that stage back in 2002. The only other time they have reached the last eight was then they finished third at the first ever World Cup, almost 100 years ago in 1930. The Netherlands are no strangers to the latter stages of the World Cup. In their history, they have reached the final on three occasions but have never lifted the famous trophy. In total, they have reached the quarter-final six times and will be confident of doing the same again in Qatar.
Who is likely to await in the next round? The winner of this last-16 tie will meet the winner of the match between Argentina and Australia. Without wanting to disrespect Graham Arnold’s gutsy side, it is very likely that Lionel Messi and Co will be waiting for the Netherlands or the USA in the quarter-final.

USA vs. Netherlands Women's Soccer: Date, Time, TV Info, Live StreamJamie Sabau/Getty ImagesThe United States Women’s National Team will be out to keep up its fine recent form in Sunday's match against the Netherlands in Atlanta. Last time out, the class of the United States proved far too much for Thailand, who were blown away 9-0 by Jillian Ellis’ side on Thursday. The Oranje will provide a much stiffer test in this one; they’re currently ranked as the 13th best team in the world by FIFA. After disappointment at the summer Olympics, the USWNT will be out to build more momentum with some big challenges to come. Here’s a look at where you can catch this clash from the Georgia Dome and a closer examination of what both teams have to offer ahead of this one. Date: Sunday, September 18Time: 7 p.
m. (ET), Midnight (BST)TV Info: Fox Sports 1 (U. S. )Live Stream: Fox Soccer 2GO (U. S)USWNT Set for Netherlands TestIn what was the final match of Heather O’Reilly’s storied international career, the USWNT ran riot against Thailand, eventually finding the back of the net on nine occasions. Of course, the opposition was particularly modest in the contest—it took the United States just 39 seconds to open the scoring—although there was a hunger that bristled in the players on Thursday, with memories of the quarter-final elimination at the Olympics evidently still fresh in the mind. Lloyd was a menace to the Thailand defence. Jamie Sabau/Getty ImagesSome of the attacking play was sparkling too, particularly from Carli Lloyd. She netted a memorable treble on the night, not to mention four assists too, and as Paul Carr of ESPN noted, it was the seventh of her USWNT career:Paul Carr @PaulCarrTMHat trick! Carli Lloyd is the fifth player with seven #USWNT hat tricks, joining Hamm, Parlow, Wambach, Akers.
A slightly disappointing 1-1 draw with Wales was followed up by an excellent team performance against group winners and highly-fancied England. Berhalter’s men went into the final game of the group knowing they needed to beat Iran and that’s exactly what they did thanks to a really brave winner from Pulisic after a free-flowing attacking move. Players carrying yellow cardsNetherlands: Matthijs de Ligt, Nathan Ake.
I have to write. But if you are "offended" by Megan Rapinoe kneeling to draw attention to injustice, the problem isn't her. On the pitch it was a game that felt like an exhibition match, although this contest with the Dutch will likely be played in a much more serious tone. Arjan van der Laan has some very talented players at his disposal, particularly in the attacking positions, where the Netherlands move the ball with a pace and purpose. They weren’t involved in the Olympics, although this team has a chance to test themselves against two of the best sides in the world in the next two games; they face Germany in October.
