Pre-Game Conference Press

Louis Van Gaal - Netherlands coach

"It is an energetic squad, very strong. Difficult for any opponent (...) The United States has proven to have an excellent team, even one of the best. They have found their rhythm. It will be a very tough match, but it's nothing we can't overcome. I'm not putting them down, not at all; I think they are a great example of what a good team is". 

Gregg Berhalter- USA coach 

"The Netherlands has totally influenced me. I've learned so much. I noticed, being there, that it's very common to have a discussion with the players after practice. People love to discuss soccer. It was a great time for me. When I came to the Netherlands from university I was not prepared for that level. If I hadn't been in the Netherlands I wouldn't have that context to form my soccer ideas."

Key player - United States

Captain Tyler Adams is the most outstanding player for the Stars and Stripes in this Cup. Adams, who is currently playing well for Leeds United of the Premier League, has proven his good level in this World Cup, so much so that his coach Belharter chose him as captain of the team, being the youngest to wear the captain's armband in 70 years and has become the undisputed starter in the midfield of the North American team. 

Adams has played in all three World Cup games so far, playing the longest route for his team in the entire competition, as well as leading his team in dueling percentage and turnovers. 

December 3, 2022 6:15 AM ET

Key player - Netherlands

One of the most prominent players in the Netherlands is 23-year-old Cody Gakpo. Currently playing for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, the striker is playing in his first World Cup. Gakpo is one of the pleasant revelations of this World Cup, so far he has played three games and scored 3 goals. The Dutchman is the first player from his country to score in the first three matches of a World Cup and the 22nd player to do so.
