The Netherlands will face the United States in the battle for a place in the quarterfinal at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha in the Qatar World Cup Round of 16 on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at 10:00 AM (ET). USA completed second in Group B with five points while the Netherlands were champs of Group A with seven places. The Khalifa International Stadium in Al Rayyan will host this match, which is scheduled for December 3rd.
On two previous occasions, the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) reached the World Cup quarterfinals. They have a chance to make it three when they play Belgium in the Round of 16 because the two countries advanced from their respective groups on their return to the World Cup after missing the 2018 tournament in Russia.
The Netherlands and the United States of America will begin the World Cup 2022 last-16 phase on Saturday afternoon at the Khalifa International Stadium. While Louis van Gaal’s team won Group A to advance to the knockout stages, the Stars and Stripes finished second in Group B behind England. The Netherlands, who were widely anticipated to win Group A and advance to the last 16 and did not disappoint the Oranje faithful, took seven points from their three matches, proving to be nothing more than a minor blip.
They will meet for the sixth time altogether. With four victories thus far, the Netherlands are the favorites in head-to-head matches, while the United States men’s national team has only won once. There has never been a draw in a match.
The Stars and Stripes won their most recent duel in an International Friendly on June 5, 2015, surprising everyone by winning 4-3. As they meet for the first time since then, in the 2022 World Cup’s Knockout Stage, it promises to be even more exciting.
With his well-taken goal against Qatar on Tuesday, breakout star Cody Gakpo became only the fourth player in Netherlands history to score in three consecutive World Cup matches. Frenkie de Jong also got in on the action with a tap-in to confirm the first-put finish and send the hosts winless and insignificant on their way to the exit door.
The Netherlands and the United States will battle for a place in the quarterfinals in the first of their knockout phase matches on Saturday.
Despite largely failing to shine in any of those three matches, the Dutch won Group A comfortably, earning seven points out of a possible nine.
After drawing with Wales and England, the USA faced a much tougher challenge to advance from Group B. However, a hard-fought 1:0 win against Iran secured their spot in the round of sixteen.
Netherlands got the best position in Group A as they guaranteed success over hosts Qatar, guaranteeing they advanced to the Round of 16 with an unbeaten record and they will be sure of doing what is expected to defeat the US.
Cody Gakpo, one of the tournament’s stars, is likely to play alongside Memphis Depay once more. Memphis Depay will be looking to add to his three goals already scored in this game, while Matthijs de Ligt and Jurrien Timber will compete for a spot in the back three.
From the group stages, the Netherlands have seven points. They achieved clean sheets of 2-0 in their victories over Senegal and Qatar. Although their most difficult match to date was the 1-1 draw with Ecuador, this match against the Stars and Stripes of the United States does not appear to be one that the Dutch Eleven should be concerned about.
The fact that Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands is one of the top scorers with three goals so far is noteworthy, despite the fact that the previous two battles with the USA, which took place over the course of five years, shouldn’t have much bearing on this game. Gakpo, Frenkie de Jong, and Davy Klaasen are three different players who have scored goals for Holland. Andries Moppet, Virgil Dijk, and Jurrien Timber are three more outstanding players for Holland to keep an eye on in the knockout stages.
When they face the USA in the Round of 16, the Netherlands will aim to reach the quarterfinals without losing. After the Oranje finished first in Group A with seven points, Louis van Gaal will be pleased with how their campaign has gone.
The Netherlands concluded their final match with a comprehensive victory over hosts Qatar, proving that their poor performance against Ecuador was only a minor setback. Cody Gakpo will aim for a fourth goal against the USA, making him the third Dutch player to score in three World Cup games in a row.
Since being knocked out of Euro 2020 by the Czech Republic, the Netherlands have won 18 straight games, which is impressive. In addition, Luis van Gaal’s World Cup winning streak of 10 games is one less than Mario Zagallo’s and two less than Luiz Felipe Scolari’s all-time record of 12.
United States of America finished second in Group B behind England after defeating Iran in their final group match.
The Americans were unbeaten in their three matches, but in order for them to upset the Netherlands, they will need to show that they are fit after Christian Pulisic, Josh Sargent, and Weston McKennie got sick in the game against Iran.
Few people could have foreseen the US Men’s National Team reaching the Qatar round of 16 prior to the 2022 World Cup. However, here we are, with the Americans facing the Dutch Eleven, one of the campaign’s toughest opponents. It is difficult to comprehend the possibility that the USA will advance past the round of 16 in this matchup with the Netherlands, but one thing is certain: this will be their seventh round of 16 appearances. In 2014, 2010, 2002, 1994, 1934, and 1930 World Cups, the USMNT advanced to the round of 16.
In the group stages, the USA scored just two goals and won one game while drawing two. Timothy Weah and Christian Pulisic have both performed admirably for the USMNT; and have both scored.
Due to the manner in which they performed during this World Cup, the United States will be confident going into this match. After beginning with a draw against Wales, they moved on to a goalless match against England. After that, they defeated Iran with a convincing 1-0 victory to conclude their group-stage play.
They required that triumph over their Asian enemies, as coax or misfortune would have thrown them out of the competition. It only took one goal from Christian Pulisic to earn three points and advance to the next round. Since the 2002 World Cup, the United States have lost five and drawn six of their World Cup matches, making them without a victory over a European team.
In addition, it was their first victory in six games across all competitions in that victory over Iran. With four defeats in friendly matches, the United States of America does not have a good record against the Netherlands. The USA, on the other hand, won their most recent match against the Oranje with a 4-3 comeback victory in 2015.
The Netherlands hold a 4-1 head-to-head advantage over the United States, with 6 draws in 34 matches, including all five international friendlies.
The matchup between the Netherlands and the United States will take place on December 3, 2022, at 15:00 (UK time).

The first matchup of the Round of 16 will feature two teams that have never lost. This matchup is set because the Netherlands won Group A, and the United States did enough to finish second in Group B.
The Dutch will need to perform at a higher level than they have so far in order to compete effectively in this tournament. They’ve only had a few scares so far, but as the tournament goes on, they’ll probably face a tougher opponent. It is unknown whether the Americans will be able to defeat them, but based on their performances thus far, it would be surprising if the Netherlands did not advance to the quarterfinals.
At this World Cup, the USA are extremely difficult to defeat. The Netherlands did not offer much offensively, with the exception of Cody Gakpo, despite playing relatively easy opponents in the group stage.
The ruthlessness of Gakpo and the rest of Van Gaal’s players still make the Netherlands a very difficult opponent despite not working the goalkeeper very much, as evidenced by their lack of shots on target. Given that the USA may not have McKennie and Pulisic fully recovered, we can only anticipate Oranje progressing to the quarterfinals. The Dutch will also benefit from their excellent defensive record.
Recent cagey games between the United States and the Netherlands were successful. However, both teams could attack from the front in this game, which promises many goals. Assortment in the assault has been the focal subject for these groups. In the Round of 16, they might emerge victorious.
In the group stage, the USA have demonstrated resilience and the capacity to challenge even the most powerful teams. In the meantime, the Netherlands have not yet encountered genuine opposition in Qatar. Taking into account the quality of Louis van Gaal’s removal, the Oranje ought to win over this USMNT side and proceed with their excursion into the quarter-finals.
