Transcript
00:00:00Well, something you just said then, Jürgen, when that goal went in from Daley Blind,
00:00:04you kind of said, well, that's not fair.
00:00:06And I know you've got a bit of a US head on,
00:00:09but actually it's looking like a bit of a masterclass at the moment, isn't it?
00:00:13Yeah, I mean, it was an exciting beginning from the US team, a lot of energy,
00:00:17big chance after two minutes for Christian Pulisic.
00:00:20If he puts that one in, maybe it goes in a different direction.
00:00:23But the way the Dutch approached it, they kind of took all the tempo out of the game,
00:00:28they calmed things down and then obviously they scored the first goal.
00:00:31And from that moment on, even if they maybe didn't have the major possession,
00:00:36they were in charge of it.
00:00:38We'll drill down into the tactics and how they've done it in a moment, Alex.
00:00:42But we talked about Louis van Gaal and his incredible career
00:00:45and he's seen it and done it all on every stage.
00:00:47And you can see his tactics clear as day in play there.
00:00:51You really can.
00:00:52And when you think about what Jürgen said about being in total control,
00:00:55you think about how USA started and you think,
00:00:57oh, yes, they've started really well.
00:00:59But it's like the Netherlands knew what they were doing.
00:01:01Allow that spell.
00:01:02Once again, towards the end of the half,
00:01:04you think USA are getting back into it and they go and score another goal.
00:01:07So they are in control of the tempo and what they want to do.
00:01:10Yeah.
00:01:11Yeah, it's just...
00:01:13I mean, USA, you know, they come here and they think
00:01:16after the way they've been played, with high energy,
00:01:18you think they're going to make it that sort of game?
00:01:21But it wasn't meant to be.
00:01:22I think USA have been very naive.
00:01:24Naive is a word I would probably use.
00:01:26Trying to press too high, leaving gaps behind.
00:01:29And, yeah, I've been disappointed.
00:01:31Two shots on goal, two goals for the Netherlands.
00:01:34And Memphis de Pijs, well, it was total football, wasn't it?
00:01:38It was beautiful.
00:01:39And I know I'm sitting here in an orange dress.
00:01:41I didn't mean for that today.
00:01:43I was neutral coming into this.
00:01:45But this is the sort of football
00:01:47that we come to expect with a team like this.
00:01:51We've not seen a lot from them in this tournament.
00:01:54But this is them taking control.
00:01:56Passing around, waiting for the opportunity and moments
00:01:59of when to penetrate and really hurt the USA, Micah.
00:02:03Yeah, I mean, it's brilliant.
00:02:06The way that they've sucked them in.
00:02:09They've almost said to them, like,
00:02:11OK, you're going to press high.
00:02:13We know we have the quality to hurt you.
00:02:15And it's just about picking the right moments
00:02:17and the right times.
00:02:18And when we get in these forward areas,
00:02:20have we got the composure to finish it off?
00:02:2221-party, it's just brilliant.
00:02:24But from a defensive point of view,
00:02:26we pick them up before the game.
00:02:28Moussa, Adams and McKennie.
00:02:30But they're just, again, naive in trying to press.
00:02:33They're out of position.
00:02:35And then they can't quite...
00:02:37They're running backwards
00:02:38instead of already being in these positions.
00:02:40And you see Memphis de Pijs here.
00:02:42He's run away from Adams.
00:02:43We've been talking about how good
00:02:45they have been in reading situations.
00:02:47But it's just that split second,
00:02:49the switch off and the dutch have really hurt them.
00:02:52He's such a prolific goalscorer for them.
00:02:54That's his 43rd.
00:02:55Puts him second behind Robin van Persie
00:02:57on 50 Memphis de Pijs.
00:02:59Having a very good World Cup, isn't he?
00:03:01And then, you know, just before half-time,
00:03:03we're discussing kind of what we're going to be
00:03:05talking about now.
00:03:06And I'm saying, well, it's only 1-0, you know.
00:03:08So you have a tactical change in the second half.
00:03:10Oh, there you go.
00:03:11There's the reaction from the orange army
00:03:13out there in Eindhoven.
00:03:15And that's where they are.
00:03:16Because they don't seem to be here, do they?
00:03:18It's very flat, isn't it?
00:03:19It's a strange atmosphere, isn't it?
00:03:21In their stadium today.
00:03:22I think we're more excited than them
00:03:24out there at the moment.
00:03:25But the goal, the second goal,
00:03:27the kind of sucker punch, isn't it?
00:03:29Because you go in thinking, I'm sure,
00:03:31you know, the coach bear held us thinking,
00:03:33right, this is what we're going to...
00:03:35Oh, right, OK.
00:03:36Now the game is, you know,
00:03:37we really have to go at this.
00:03:38Because 2-0 changes things dramatically.
00:03:402-0 changes it.
00:03:41And that makes it very, very difficult
00:03:43for the US team now to get back into this game.
00:03:45But, I mean, it's very similar,
00:03:47the first one obviously had an amazing amount
00:03:49of passing sequences.
00:03:50But even here, you know,
00:03:52they're just faster in their thinking.
00:03:54Their thought process is faster
00:03:56than the US players.
00:03:57They read it faster.
00:03:58Their instinct, you know,
00:04:00where the ball will drop now,
00:04:01and the ball comes from the back.
00:04:03The US defensive part
00:04:06is just ball-watching.
00:04:07You just feel like you're building on your toes.
00:04:09This is Round of 16.
00:04:10All the energy of the shoulders
00:04:12in the previous games.
00:04:13It's just one ball across.
00:04:16And look at everyone's body positions.
00:04:18Everyone's just stood still.
00:04:19But there comes a bit of inexperience
00:04:21into this whole thing.
00:04:22I mean, especially the first goal
00:04:24where I would say, you know,
00:04:25if you have your opponent
00:04:27combining for 10, 12, 14 passes,
00:04:29there comes a moment
00:04:30you've got to interrupt that.
00:04:31With a tactical foul,
00:04:32with something, you know,
00:04:33make sure now you're not
00:04:34running after them all the way.
00:04:35They didn't interrupt the flow
00:04:37of the Dutch passing sequences
00:04:39and they conceded their first goal.
00:04:41And that's because it's a very young team.
00:04:43Let's talk in a bit more detail
00:04:45about these Louis van Gaal tactics
00:04:47because the first few minutes
00:04:49we did see the energy, didn't we,
00:04:50from the U.S.
00:04:51And they weren't bothered,
00:04:52the Dutch.
00:04:53Yeah, you can do this.
00:04:54Then how do they stop them
00:04:56playing with that energy?
00:04:59Basically, in this area,
00:05:01what they're trying to do
00:05:03is nullify in the center of the pitch.
00:05:05We all spoke before the game
00:05:06about the free for America
00:05:08in midfield
00:05:09and them dictating the game.
00:05:11But they've not been allowed.
00:05:13They're allowed to get the ball wide.
00:05:15They're feeding off scraps.
00:05:16And when they're playing,
00:05:17it's actually not a three at the back
00:05:19for the Netherlands at the time.
00:05:20It's a five at the back.
00:05:21And these wide positions
00:05:23is where they're trying to get
00:05:24but they're getting no joy out of it.
00:05:25But as you can see
00:05:26from the picture here
00:05:27what the Netherlands are doing so well
00:05:28is they're dropping off.
00:05:29So it's like,
00:05:30OK, try and open us up.
00:05:31But what we're doing
00:05:32is we've worked so well
00:05:33on our shape
00:05:34and we're blocking off
00:05:35any passing lines
00:05:36to get to those key players
00:05:38and setting traps.
00:05:39And like you said,
00:05:40it's every single player,
00:05:41as you can see in orange
00:05:42right there,
00:05:43knowing their job
00:05:44and executing it.
00:05:45It's about timing.
00:05:46You know what I mean?
00:05:47It's about,
00:05:48well, OK,
00:05:49we know they've got high energy.
00:05:50We'll drop off a little bit
00:05:51and pick the timing
00:05:52when to go.
00:05:53And that's what
00:05:54the Netherlands have done
00:05:55way better than USA.
00:05:56Totally kind of strangling
00:05:57the supply line as well
00:05:58to Pulisic
00:05:59who did,
00:06:00in the opening exchanges,
00:06:01he had a really good chance.
00:06:02We thought it was offside
00:06:03first of all, Jurgen.
00:06:04And then,
00:06:05you know,
00:06:06obviously the linesman didn't flag
00:06:07and then on second viewing...
00:06:08Maybe he was not aware.
00:06:09Maybe he thought,
00:06:10oh, maybe I'm off.
00:06:11So it was not clear
00:06:12in his mind
00:06:13or sharp enough
00:06:14in his mind.
00:06:15Obviously,
00:06:16if he puts that one in,
00:06:17it's a completely
00:06:18different game.
00:06:19But unfortunately,
00:06:20he didn't.
00:06:21And the Dutch,
00:06:22they know,
00:06:23you know,
00:06:24it's 70,
00:06:2580%
00:06:26of the US danger
00:06:27is Christian Pulisic.
00:06:28You know,
00:06:29they know that.
00:06:30They have all their focus
00:06:31on Christian Pulisic.
00:06:32As Alex said,
00:06:33you know,
00:06:34they're closing down
00:06:35all the passing lines
00:06:36into Christian.
00:06:37And when he knows
00:06:38it's all on my shoulder,
00:06:39you know,
00:06:41to make the difference here
00:06:42because he is the
00:06:43difference maker
00:06:44for this US team,
00:06:45young US team
00:06:46going forward,
00:06:47meaning scoring goals
00:06:48or creating goals.
00:06:49It's too easy
00:06:50for...
00:06:51A chance for Wales
00:06:52as well,
00:06:53Alex.
00:06:54And I think this sums up
00:06:55the USA.
00:06:56If they just had
00:06:57that striker
00:06:58of another level,
00:06:59then they'd be
00:07:00a different team.
00:07:01It's like that's
00:07:02where they struggle
00:07:03to break down.
00:07:04And as you said,
00:07:05everything then
00:07:06has to come from Pulisic.
00:07:07But they are struggling.
00:07:08They need to come up
00:07:09with a new plan
00:07:10to use him.
00:07:11But they need to come up
00:07:12with a plan being that.
00:07:13OK.
00:07:14Well, if you're wondering

00:09:34high for me,
00:09:35I think.
00:09:36It's definitely
00:09:37up there for
00:09:38one of the
00:09:39best feelings
00:09:40in my career
00:09:41so far.
00:09:42To score
00:09:43in your
00:09:44first start
00:09:45in a
00:09:46World Cup
00:09:47against Wales
00:09:48as well,
00:09:49special
00:09:50moment for
00:09:51me.
00:09:52What was
00:09:53it like?
00:09:54It was
00:09:55amazing.
00:09:56Going into
00:09:57Tuesday's
00:09:58game,
00:09:59there was a
00:10:00lot of talk
00:10:01about you.
00:10:02People were
00:10:03desperate to
00:10:04see you start
00:10:05in an
00:10:06England shirt.
00:10:07How aware
00:10:08were you of
00:10:09all of that
00:10:10noise and
00:10:11what did
00:10:12you make of
00:10:13it?
00:10:14I was
00:10:15seeing a
00:10:16lot of
00:10:17media
00:10:18attention
00:10:19towards
00:10:20me to
00:10:21start.
00:10:22Was that
00:10:23part of
00:10:24a wider
00:10:25plan?
00:10:26He said
00:10:27we were
00:10:28going to
00:10:29get our
00:10:30chance.
00:10:31We have
00:10:32to be
00:10:33ready.
00:10:34The bench
00:10:35is strong
00:10:36and ready
00:10:37to change
00:10:38the game.
00:10:39What would
00:10:40you say
00:10:41your best
00:10:42position is?
00:10:43Everywhere.
00:10:44I feel
00:10:45like I'm
00:10:46a ten
00:10:47whether
00:10:48it's
00:10:49now or
00:10:50in the
00:10:51future.
00:10:52It's
00:10:53important
00:10:54to have
00:10:55that
00:10:56mentality.
00:10:57When
00:10:58the
00:10:59competition
00:11:00is that
00:11:01fierce,
00:11:02how does
00:11:03it affect
00:11:04things?
00:11:05I don't
00:11:06think it
00:11:07affects
00:11:08us the
00:11:09way
00:11:10people
00:11:11think.
00:11:12We
00:11:13still
00:11:14talk to
00:11:15each
00:11:16other,
00:11:17be each
00:11:18other's
00:11:19friend.
00:11:20I think
00:11:21everyone
00:11:22understands
00:11:23that.
00:11:24It's win
00:11:25or go
00:11:26home.
00:11:27How does
00:11:28the
00:11:29mentality
00:11:30change?
00:11:31I feel
00:11:32like
00:11:33people
00:11:34notice
00:11:35added
00:11:36pressure
00:11:37to do
00:11:38better.
00:11:39You
00:11:40can't
00:11:41afford
00:11:42to make
00:11:43mistakes
00:11:44or start
00:11:45a game
00:11:46badly.
00:11:47I think
00:11:48it's
00:11:50actually
00:11:51challenging.
00:11:52Really,
00:11:53doing
00:11:54it
00:11:54again?
00:11:55You
00:11:56went full
00:11:57Gazzer
00:11:59and
00:12:00died?
00:12:01I didn't
00:12:02think
00:12:03it
00:12:04messed
00:12:05up
00:12:06so much
00:12:07at
00:12:08the
00:12:09Euros.
00:12:10I don't
00:12:11think
00:12:12I'll
00:12:13ever
00:12:14do it
00:12:15again just
00:12:16because
00:12:17it's
00:12:18stiff.
00:12:19Would you keep him in with Rashford?
00:12:24Of course I would keep him in.
00:12:26It's difficult.
00:12:27I would play more centrally though.
00:12:28I wouldn't play him out wide.
00:12:29I think sometimes he can open up spaces,
00:12:32get on the ball, create things.
00:12:34I think sometimes on the wide, he's lost at times.
00:12:37I know he's got his goal from wide,
00:12:38but I think he'd offer more to the team in that central role.
00:12:41And what about defence?
00:12:42Back four, back three?
00:12:44Oh, that's a tough one.
00:12:46I think he might stay the same.
00:12:48I think the key battles for me, Gabby, will be with the midfield.
00:12:51I think Senegal, they have some selection dilemmas
00:12:54of who they're going to play in there,
00:12:56but I think we win that battle, you allow the front three
00:12:59or whoever plays our attacking players to go and express themselves.
00:13:02I would say we need to attack their right back.
00:13:04That is a real weak link today.
00:13:06OK, Alex, you're with me tomorrow night for those highlights.
00:13:08BBC One, 10.40.
00:13:10The second half here, though, is on its way very shortly.
00:13:14Welcome to the knockouts.
00:13:15The business end starts here,
00:13:18with a meeting of the Netherlands and the United States.
00:13:23Pulisic!
00:13:26And he's pulled back into a great area.
00:13:29Memphis defies, sweeps the Netherlands in front.
00:13:34It just seems perplexed when they get the ball,
00:13:36it's almost like football chess.
00:13:38Weijer!
00:13:39Can save.
00:13:40Blind 2-0.
00:13:41The United States' hearts are broken.
00:13:46Well, the teams are coming back out onto the pitch
00:13:50here at the Khalifa Stadium.
00:13:52Like all these stadiums here in Qatar,
00:13:55incredible, stunning pieces of architecture.
00:13:57A few substitutions, though,
00:13:59and Martin Keown and Steve Wilson can tell us about those.
00:14:03Yes, thank you.
00:14:04As you can see, Steven Burgwijn is on the former Tottenham man,
00:14:09as is Tone Koopminers,
00:14:11so they have come on for the Netherlands.
00:14:14Martin de Roon and Davy Klaassen have made way,
00:14:19and we expected a change from the United States, really,
00:14:22and they have made one.
00:14:23There he is, Gio Reyna is on,
00:14:25came on against England in their second group game in Group B
00:14:29in that 0-0 draw,
00:14:31so Reyna is on and Jesus Ferreira has gone off.
00:14:38And the Netherlands lead by two goals to nil.
00:14:45It's Zimmermann with the forward ball,
00:14:49and it looks at the moment
00:14:51as though Pulisic is going to play a kind of false nine position.
00:15:02Interesting that van Gaal would decide to make a couple of changes.
00:15:07Well, he thinks he's won it.
00:15:08He wants to maybe shut off shot now.
00:15:12Reyna is going to play very hard at the pitch,
00:15:15so we know what a talented player he is.
00:15:21It's McKinney with this throw,
00:15:23launched and touched away by Noppe,
00:15:26forward by De Puy.
00:15:28Burgwijn is chasing away after that,
00:15:31but was never going to get there before Tim Reed.
00:15:33He scored a hat-trick on his debut for Ajax,
00:15:35having left Tottenham Hotspur's Steven Burgwijn.
00:15:37He has 11 goals for them already this season.
00:15:42He couldn't get playing time, really, at Tottenham.
00:15:47No, he's going to play up the top, Steve,
00:15:49and I think Gagpaul will play off the front,
00:15:51something they've done already in this competition.
00:16:00Van Dijk.
00:16:03Jurien Timber.
00:16:07Reams' header, De Jong is there.
00:16:12So it's a front three now for the United States of way up.
00:16:16Reyna down the middle, Pulisic on the left.
00:16:24And a front two for the Dutch of Burgwijn and De Puy,
00:16:28with Gagpaul in behind.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:44There is Gagpaul with a lovely little backheel.
00:16:48And it's into the path of Burgwijn.
00:16:53Collected by Dumfries.
00:17:04Jurien Timber, nicely controlled volley pass
00:17:07to Gagpaul, whose header has gone out of play.
00:17:12Yes!
00:17:15Well, only once have the Netherlands lost a World Cup
00:17:18finals match in which they scored first in the knockout stages,
00:17:22and that was the final of 1974.
00:17:25And if they score here, then the USA are all but out.
00:17:28De Puy sends it to the right,
00:17:30and Burgwijn, who wasn't quite the pass he wanted,
00:17:33the little flick from Blintz.
00:17:36Calmly done with the clearance by Tim Ream
00:17:40into Weston McKennie.
00:17:47Way up, Pulisic in the middle.
00:17:50Ake across, did well, corner kick though.
00:17:52Did do well, that was important.
00:17:54McKennie, though, realised it,
00:17:56wants to give it to way up.
00:17:58He's travelled with it.
00:18:00This man is difficult to play against,
00:18:02but Ake shuts the door.
00:18:05Christian Pulisic with this corner kick for the United States,
00:18:13who desperately need a goal.
00:18:23It's a decent delivery, McKennie puts it down,
00:18:25and it's blocked by Knopper.
00:18:30To deny Tim Ream.
00:18:33That's McKennie's header, that's comfortable for Knopper.
00:18:37Well, that was very nearly the goal they were looking for,
00:18:40and Tim Ream, on the occasion of his 50th,
00:18:43can't nearly score it.
00:18:45Well, the Dutch didn't deal with that at all.
00:18:47As you say, Ream coming on to it,
00:18:49just didn't fall to him.
00:18:51He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:18:53He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:18:55He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:18:57He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:18:59He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:01He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:03He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:05He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:07He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:09He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:11He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:13He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:15He's got it, he's got it, he's got it.
00:19:18Cope minus to Dumfries, to Gapo, to Dumfries.
00:19:22Good ball, good save by Turner,
00:19:25to deny Memphis Depay from point-blank range.
00:19:30Super quick reactions from both Depay to get the touch,
00:19:34and then Turner to make the save.
00:19:36Well, it's Dumfries again on that right-hand side,
00:19:39his blistering pace, he just whips a ball in there.
00:19:42Actually, it would have been an own goal.
00:19:44It was Zimmerman.
00:19:45Yeah, he does well, the goalkeeper, good reactions,
00:19:47down his left-hand side.
00:19:50Puts it into harm's way, though, he's lucky.
00:19:57So, one set to half, Tim Ream coming close to scoring
00:20:00for the United States, and the other, Walker Zimmerman,
00:20:03coming close to scoring against them.
00:20:08McKennie.
00:20:09McKennie.
00:20:13To Young, Adams got a foot in,
00:20:15Rayner lets McKennie take it up,
00:20:17Pulisic is accelerating there.
00:20:19McKennie's looking for a way out,
00:20:21he found it, Pulisic in the middle.
00:20:24That's just forced him wide a little bit,
00:20:26here's Sergino Dest.
00:20:29And that's a shot born of frustration.
00:20:32Must be a horrible feeling,
00:20:34when you hit a shot from the edge of the penalty area,
00:20:36and it goes out for a throw-in.
00:20:38Looking at you, Martin, I don't know why.
00:20:40I don't seem to remember ever doing that, Steve.
00:20:42How dare you?
00:20:46No, this is the...
00:20:48the near-home goal, was it?
00:20:49No, it's the second goal.
00:20:51Yes, sorry, yes.
00:20:52Without the passes.
00:20:55Both goals very similar.
00:20:56There they are, dad and lad.
00:21:00And why not?
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:04Danny and Daly.
00:21:06Footballing family.
00:21:09Go, go, go!
00:21:15Anthony Robinson.
00:21:34McKennie.
00:21:36Pulisic.
00:21:39Pulisic's shot is meat and drink
00:21:42for Andries Notbert.
00:21:45Well, it's better, but
00:21:46you don't really feel he's going to score from there.
00:21:48He's got Rayner just in front of him,
00:21:50but he didn't want to give it him.
00:21:53You're absolutely right about all the statistics with Notbert,
00:21:55with how few senior matches he played
00:21:58up until...
00:22:00he's 28 now, he's late 20s,
00:22:01but when you look at him,
00:22:02you don't think, how is he playing in the World Cup?
00:22:04You think, how is he not somebody's first choice earlier?
00:22:07For sure.
00:22:09I don't really know why it's taken him so long to get it.
00:22:13But he's got it now.
00:22:16Adams with the clearing header,
00:22:18collected by Robinson,
00:22:20looking for Moussa.
00:22:24Did well.
00:22:25Kept it in play really well.
00:22:27He's found McKennie.
00:22:28Now they might be able to break.
00:22:29Needs to be a decent ball.
00:22:31It's decent.
00:22:33Rayner's kept it in.
00:22:34Moussa in the middle.
00:22:35Weyer in the middle.
00:22:36Tulisic, McKennie edge of the air.
00:22:37He wants it.
00:22:38Here he is.
00:22:39And it's over the bar.
00:22:41The kind of tool back from which the Dutch have profited twice.
00:22:46The USA couldn't quite replicate it much better.
00:22:49Moussa in midfield, running with the ball.
00:22:52More inspired.
00:22:54And he cuts inside here.
00:22:55Rayner.
00:22:57Just gets it out of his feet really quickly,
00:22:59but he can't get it on target.
00:23:00Better though.
00:23:07Here's Dest.
00:23:21Four years time,
00:23:22the World Cup final will be in the United States.
00:23:24They are one of three co-hosts,
00:23:26along with Canada and Mexico,
00:23:28as I'm sure you know,
00:23:29in a 48-team World Cup.
00:23:37There are, though,
00:23:38only three additional places at that World Cup
00:23:41for European nations.
00:23:47That's harsh.
00:23:50Half the round of 16 here in Qatar
00:23:53is made up of Europeans.
00:23:55It was 11 in Russia four years ago.
00:23:58Bergwijn with the forward ball.
00:24:00Well kept out by Robinson.
00:24:02His adversary,
00:24:03Robinson.
00:24:06That was Gatto there.
00:24:07A little glimpse of his quality and his pace.
00:24:12Moussa.
00:24:16They're just like a boxer,
00:24:17aren't they, Holland?
00:24:19You know, they're not going to go in and mix it.
00:24:20They're just going to shadow box from distance
00:24:22and then bang,
00:24:23a couple of haymakers
00:24:24and their opponents on the deck.
00:24:25Clever by Bergwijn.
00:24:26The referee has helped him remount here
00:24:28by giving a free-kick.
00:24:30Pula, six-forward ball.
00:24:31OK.
00:24:32Had to really stretch to prevent that
00:24:34from finding its target,
00:24:36who is Timothy Weah.
00:24:40Timbers.
00:24:41Clearance has gone straight to Robinson.
00:24:43What a touch.
00:24:45Well done.
00:24:48Well played.
00:24:50Well played.
00:24:52Well played.
00:24:53Well played.
00:24:57Well played.
00:24:59Robinson, Robinson to Adams, there's definitely been more pace about the game in the second
00:25:05half and that suits Greg Verhulst's side, they've got to take the game to the Dutch.
00:25:17Well they're getting higher up the pitch, that's for sure, it's not sitting there with
00:25:21the two central defenders, they're getting it into midfield, just there it's a little
00:25:24bit sloppy, very interested if they can get one back because they play off a motion these
00:25:31USA players.
00:25:45Cobe Miners, Bergwijn, Ream with him.
00:26:00Also in Cobe Miners who plays for Atalanta in Serie A.
00:26:21Young, Cobe Miners.
00:26:46Dumfries has been excellent hasn't he?
00:26:49Not very good on that side when he's playing as a wing back and in those forward positions
00:26:52he's really picked out quality passes for both goals, that's what you want with a wing
00:26:58back, you want mostly I think he's played as a full back but he still has the quality
00:27:01in the final third.
00:27:06shape there from the USA, not quite so naive.
00:27:14Turner for Zimmermann, Moussa, McKennie thinks about going long and does, brought down neatly
00:27:29by Robinson, McKennie, Pulisic, was caught by Virgil van Dijk, that'll be a free kick.
00:27:50He's come all the way out, they're dragging those, one of those back three out of there
00:27:54at USA, that's what they need to do and then have someone running behind, it's the Dutch
00:28:08drums that are beating, it's Pulisic and Adams standing over the ball, McKennie, Moussa,
00:28:17Wehr, Ream, Zimmermann, all forward, Rayner too.
00:28:34Pulisic running through his options, headed in by van Dijk, touchdown by Tim Ream to Dest.
00:28:46Wehr, Adams, very good header by van Dijk, that's two on the trot, so powerful in the
00:28:57air van Dijk, McKennie, Pulisic, that's a short new card here I think, first year of
00:29:10the card and again two cut minus, he knows a threat that's there from Pulisic, a little
00:29:21bit of malice aforethought in that maybe, another free kick, one hour gone, half an
00:29:43hour to play, unless, Pulisic with the delivery, it was blocked by Gakpo, cleared away to Bergwijn,
00:29:59Depay with the header, Gakpo's here, he's got four orange shirts chasing forward, Steven
00:30:05Bergwijn here with Anthony Robinson, he couldn't quite beat Robinson for pace and he couldn't
00:30:12quite beat Pulisic for the trick, but here's Gakpo, Gakpo, and again, Depay, good save,
00:30:25it's dipping, that's a decent effort, Gakpo was going to hit one again there, quite come
00:30:35off from and then this one is ripped, looked like it was always rising over that bar, yeah
00:30:42I think, I don't think it would have gone in, it might have hit the woodwork, smudged
00:30:46it on the way over, but Turner wasn't in the mood to take any chances with it, and Cody
00:30:52Gakpo is going to take this Dutch corner short, McKennie away, Dion, ooh Turner, he's had
00:31:05it, lost it, got it, Van Dijk fouled him anyway, Robinson's forward ball, can't find
00:31:31he's had an excellent tournament, but he's found it hard to get into this game, hard
00:31:38to influence it, it's just a wily performance from the Dutch, where they've set themselves
00:31:45out, their tactics coming from their manager, quite a manager he is, that's well won, Depay
00:32:00has got it forward and they're in trouble here, Dumfries can't stay on his feet,
00:32:05don't think he was fouled, neither does the referee, Pulisic has it, the space here, Timothy Weijer,
00:32:17Ake in front of him, Weijer, blocked by Van Dijk, Dumfries is still down for the Netherlands,
00:32:26here's Memphis Depay, Dumfries has got on his feet to try and get out of an offside position,
00:32:34it's McKennie, it's Pulisic,
00:32:41that's Dumfries coming back to make the challenge, and that's Durian Timber with the clearance,
00:32:49and Dumfries was certainly clattered there, I'm not sure
00:32:52if it was a foul or not, but interesting, I thought they would just kick the ball out of
00:32:57play and not a bit of it, the Dutch were on the attack and suddenly Dumfries is off on his feet
00:33:00and ran back, Zimmer
00:33:22so
00:33:36more changes of foot here for the United States, it's going to be at least a
00:33:41double substitution I think, with Brendan Aronson and Haji Wright coming on,
00:33:48two very forward-thinking players, they have no option really,
00:33:52the man down on the far side is Robinson, he's had the wind taken out of his sails,
00:33:57I think he's just slowed it down there Steve, because Robinson, I don't think he expected him,
00:34:01I mean he's run himself into the ground to be fair, and I think he might have to come off, so
00:34:05he might just change the substitutions here, let's take a look,
00:34:11Dumfries appears now to be okay, this was the tangle he had with Robinson,
00:34:21wow, it's happened inside the penalty area, I did say I thought it was clattered, yeah,
00:34:29would have looked at that, I think he's hurt his hip though in the process, yeah,
00:34:40wow, Robinson with this injury, the United States, as you say Martin, might be just thinking again
00:34:49about the changes they were due to make, Brendan Aronson, another Leeds man of course,
00:34:54and Haji Wright, centre forward from Antalya, ball was stripped and ready for action,
00:35:03this is a lengthy stoppage for Robinson, who is a man that
00:35:07is integral to them, with that pace down the left hand side,
00:35:15that's blow number one,
00:35:21and that's blow number two,
00:35:27well Wright and Aronson are definitely coming on, and Robinson is
00:35:33looking like he's going to be okay to play on,
00:35:37so
00:35:47which is good news for the United States,
00:35:52so Haji Wright wears 19, Brendan Aronson wears 11, first to make way is Timothy Weyer,
00:36:01his World Cup moment was an excellent one, really good finish at the match against Wales,
00:36:11their opening game in Group B, and Weston McKennie is coming off, the Juventus man makes way,
00:36:20and the Leeds United man Brendan Aronson comes on, as he has in all the United States games at
00:36:29this World Cup, I think Aronson's been a bit unlucky not to have started, he does bring a
00:36:34great deal of energy to their play, and De Jong is right on the edge of his own penalty area,
00:36:39playing a slightly dangerous game, well cleared by Coatminers,
00:36:47Dest,
00:36:51challenged by Blind,
00:36:52Gagpo,
00:36:57Bergman chasing here, Zimmerman,
00:37:08interesting putting Gagpo into that midfield, Stevie has got an array of talent, run with the
00:37:14ball, we know he's got a pass in the locker as well, as we've just seen there, very talented,
00:37:18he started the World Cup in that 10 position, had Vincent Janssen in the team
00:37:23for the first match against Senegal at Althumama, Aronson,
00:37:31well won by Durian Timber, fouled by Brendan Aronson, free kick to the Dutch,
00:37:36with three quarters of the way through this game, Netherlands two, United States nil,
00:37:50Gagpo, still in play, Bergman, Gagpo, out by Reid, Timber, Bergman,
00:38:20De Jong, this is looking interesting, Depay in the middle, cut out by Zimmerman,
00:38:30Robinson keeping it away from Dumfries, but at the expense of a throw-in,
00:38:36what's that,
00:38:46Van Dijk back to Andre Snoddert,
00:38:54Reims header, Adams touch to Jong,
00:39:06Aronson just beaten by Koopmeiners, here's Dumfries,
00:39:11willingness to run and run time and time again down that right-hand side,
00:39:15so much pace, really strong down that right-hand side, it's one in the corner,
00:39:23stay with us tonight for Argentina taking on Australia 6-20, BBC One, the winners of that game
00:39:31will play the winners of this game, and then tomorrow 2.30 on BBC One, it's France against
00:39:38Poland, one of which are possible quarterfinal opponents for Gareth Southgate's side,
00:39:46in comes the Dutch corner, and that's looped over the top by Virgil van Dijk,
00:39:54so
00:40:17Serginio Des must be a slightly strange experience to
00:40:21his family, Dutch mum,
00:40:26Garoppolo did really well to stay on his feet, really well, that's driven low, pushed up by Turner,
00:40:32brilliant double save, absolutely magnificent double save, it's Depay with a header on the
00:40:39follow-up, and that has kept the United States with some sort of glimmer of hope in this game,
00:40:51Bergwijn,
00:40:56not beautifully laid off to Gakpo, and Turner's done really well again, excellent, excellent
00:41:02goalkeeping from Matt Turner, was three times he's had to be lively there, Reina has threaded
00:41:08through to Hachi Wright, he's offside, he's protesting but he just needs to look along the
00:41:16line there, look at this double save from Turner, it's a really good hit as well,
00:41:27that would have gone to VAR if it had gone in the back of the net,
00:41:29but Turner made sure it didn't, he's up very quickly, also number two,
00:41:37so
00:41:59this is what the Dutch need to do now, just keep possession, keep passing it,
00:42:07Robinson's got that in a painful area,
00:42:17Moussa, Adams, Robinson,
00:42:27Moussa,
00:42:37he doesn't stop running Moussa, I mean you can't, you look at him and the effort he's putting in
00:42:43here, he's certainly not giving up, Wright has done well, picked out Reina, Aronson in the middle,
00:42:50Giovanni Reina here, he's looking for curl off his left boot,
00:42:56but he was stretching and chasing a little, with orange clad defenders all around him,
00:43:07he's just falling over there Steve, as he goes to hit that,
00:43:23doesn't plant his standing foot at all,
00:43:26so
00:43:33Aronson for Adams, Adams for Reina,
00:43:57they desperately needed that to go in the back of the Dutch net,
00:44:02Haji Wright presented with the opportunity, well the man of the match so far is there
00:44:07again isn't he, Dumfries, read it straight away, two assists, he's on hand to alleviate the danger,
00:44:14Deandre Yedlin is coming on for the United States, replacing Serginio Dest,
00:44:32Yedlin the former Tottenham and Newcastle man, who you may remember played in the 2014
00:44:40World Cup finals, a brilliant knockout match against Belgium in Salvador, he was electric,
00:44:48Pulisic with the corner, headed out by Hacke,
00:44:51Depay, quite fine, Bergwijn, Zimmermann, Yedlin, Pulisic, five in the middle, and into the net,
00:45:03they're back in the game,
00:45:05Haji Wright might have got the first touch, it's 2-1, 15 minutes to play,
00:45:19well Steve this comes back to Yedlin and this is virtually his first touch, look at it here,
00:45:23he just threads that ball through and then it comes into the box and it's ricochets up
00:45:29and into the goal, it's hard to see if it's come off the defender
00:45:34all right, but nonetheless it's gone and he's meant that, that's an incredible finish, look
00:45:39look at it right off his leg, right it's unbelievable, it's a flick off his foot
00:45:45and ends up in the back of the goal, it's a miracle goal, it's either the greatest goal
00:45:50he may ever score or the luckiest goal he may ever score, but they'll take it, it's 2-1,
00:45:59and they are very much back in this, 15 intriguing minutes ahead,
00:46:21that is precisely what Dr. Berhalter ordered,
00:46:26Rayner, turn a sick off after it, can play right in here, it's Haji Wright,
00:46:35goalkeeper in it brilliantly, did really well, Andres Noppert, I wondered if it was going to be
00:46:43another Wayne Hennessy moment there when he didn't get it right and ended up getting a red card,
00:46:48no Noppert was out there, did really well, totally different game here right now, it certainly is,
00:46:54here come the Netherlands, it's Memphis Depay, it's Steven Bergwijn,
00:47:06I'm sure the angle was never really there for that attempt to the flick finish,
00:47:09well he's trying to go with his right foot, you see a lovely little ball in the channel,
00:47:15maybe he should be hitting that with his left foot, but he wants to just chip it over the goalie,
00:47:20it's the other end, could have gone anywhere by the way,
00:47:30Rayner with the header, Van Dijk with the clearance,
00:47:36Ream for Adams, Adams for Robinson, Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisic,
00:47:44Pulisic forward driven and Noppert right behind him,
00:47:52but the adrenaline will be flowing now,
00:47:59I think he was thinking of the first goal there and thought,
00:48:01well why not, why don't I just shoot off my left foot,
00:48:13you were saying at halftime Martin, it was like the Dutch had anesthetized the United States in
00:48:22the first half, well my goodness me, that goal's given him a shot in the arm,
00:48:27and that's what they needed, that Xavi Simons, the young TSV
00:48:35forward player, who may be coming on for an international debut in these circumstances,
00:48:40it's a massive talent, he is some player, he loves to run with the ball,
00:48:45maybe looking to grab the headlines, that's for sure,
00:48:52Rayner, Robinson, Robinson a little deflection on that cross, put behind by Durian Timber,
00:49:03and here he comes, as the United States prepare to take this corner,
00:49:11the substitution I think is going to be made, which is unusual when you've got a corner to defend,
00:49:19and the Dutch have said no, hold on, but he is coming on the young man, 19 years old,
00:49:27let's see what comes of this corner, 10 to play, Pulisic with the delivery, Noppert with a very good take,
00:49:33commanding,
00:49:37and he made his debut in this competition, so why not, well he's got to hand it to Van Gaal,
00:49:44he's just going for it, isn't he, let the kids play, Dupuy, Yedlin took it away from him,
00:49:50Dupuy, Yedlin with him,
00:50:03to Young, Flint with a careful cross, and into the net, from Denzel Dumfries, and that will surely win it,
00:50:12they were absent without leave at the back post, and Denzel Dumfries has been absolutely brilliant here,
00:50:25volleys the Netherlands back into a two-goal lead,
00:50:31and it's the two most effective players in this Dutch team, and just take a look
00:50:36at this ball, and the quality of it, from Blitz, he knows where he wants to target is,
00:50:42there's Dumfries with his arm in the air, back post, and he buries it, absolute quality, I mean
00:50:48that's coming up his left foot, okay hits him on the ship, he deserves that luck the way he's played,
00:50:55wonderful finish, 3-1,
00:50:58and the Dutch are heading for Lesaille on Friday, and a World Cup quarter-final,
00:51:09I don't know where Anthony Robinson was, but he wasn't anywhere near Denzel Dumfries,
00:51:17well Dumfries has owned that right-hand side of the pitch even all night, hasn't he, another
00:51:20little substitute coming on here, yeah I mean it's a lot easier to make this change now,
00:51:24the 3-1 over 10 minutes to go, but it was a change he was willing, Louis van Gaal to make at 2-1,
00:51:33but he was because Depay, I think he wants to manage him through the competition, he knows
00:51:37the value of him, and he thought well okay let's bring the young kid on, Depay goes off,
00:51:43Xavi Simons is on, came through the Barcelona academy, left them to join Paris Saint-Germain,
00:51:51played a handful of games under Mauricio Pochettino for Paris Saint-Germain, left them
00:51:57in the summer for PSV, where he's scored 10 goals already this season in only 22 games,
00:52:05and Paris Saint-Germain I believe have a buy-back option, which they can exercise at the end of this
00:52:13season, well and along with Gagpo at PSV he's been outstanding, so let's see if he can match his
00:52:18colleague from his club team, that goal
00:52:27is sending the Dutch to the last eight of this World Cup, unless something really remarkable
00:52:35happens, and there have been many a remarkable thing over the course of the last four days,
00:52:41let alone the last two weeks and 48 games, but if the United States can salvage this then my goodness, goodness
00:52:53Reina, foul by Gagpo, you did ask me though Steve right at the beginning of the game who was going
00:52:59to win this, and I said well the Dutch have got the better players, and they've shown that haven't
00:53:03they, their quality tonight, that ball from Blint was different class
00:53:20here he is, Simons cut out by Adams, Aronson, Reina, Aronson
00:53:28Reina back into Brendan Aronson, blocked by Nathan Ake
00:53:39that's going to be followed up by Xavi Simons,
00:53:42who's fouled by Deandre Yedlin, and it's a free kick to the Dutch
00:53:45some stage to make your international debut
00:54:01but there are young kids around who are just too good not to give the opportunity, and well I applaud
00:54:07it, I think he was a little bit lucky getting into the squad, it was a big clamour for him, maybe this
00:54:12is a substitution for the press, who he's fallen out with hasn't he at the moment, so it would seem
00:54:21I don't think it's the first bunch of journalists that has fallen out with over his 30-odd year
00:54:27managerial career, Robinson into Pulisic, Pulisic turning and excelling away from Koeman is actually
00:54:39right nearly there, Van Dijk had to concede the corner
00:54:45Tim Bear seemed to switch off there, right nearly gets in on that
00:54:58Pulisic with this corner kick, Tim Ream didn't get something on it Zimmerman looking for the overhead
00:55:10it wasn't actually all that far away from Walker Zimmerman
00:55:15it was the right idea, he just seemed to collapse on it
00:55:32four minutes away the Netherlands plus whatever is added on
00:55:35a couple of fairly lengthy injury stoppages in the
00:55:43second half, Jordan Morris is going to be on shortly for the United States
00:55:54super acceleration, Siemens is in the middle
00:55:56third round to Dumfries, Dumfries to Gapo, managing to keep the ball away from Moussa
00:56:12and that's a cynical challenge on Aronson and it's going to be a yellow card for de Jong
00:56:26Guilty as charged
00:56:42Reina
00:56:48Adams
00:56:51Robinson, Reina
00:56:56Reina
00:57:06Pulisic drifting inside, de Jong cut it out and now Xavi Siemens can charge up the field
00:57:12Steven Bergwijn is the only company he has in an orange jersey, here he is
00:57:19I think this has played out beautifully for Van Gaal, the way they controlled the game, the tactics
00:57:25substitutions as well
00:57:31they're made for a difficult opponent, the Dutch, as they travel through this competition, they will
00:57:43in terms of world cups they've been the Netherlands three times finalists and three times losers
00:57:50this might be their year
00:57:58that's deflected into Haji Wright, Wright looking for Moussa, Moussa for Jedlin
00:58:05Moussa, Ake away, Jedlin
00:58:11Morris is still waiting to come on, here's Younes Moussa
00:58:25Aronson for Reina, Reina nearly fell for Haji Wright, that
00:58:32Adams header is going to be retrieved by Jedlin
00:58:41Pulisic, good block, Julian Timber forward to Siemens, it's a three-man Dutch counter-attack
00:58:51Xavi Siemens finds Steven Bergwijn, gap pose in the middle, Siemens little back heel, Bergwijn
00:59:00possibly offside, running into traffic, Siemens, Bergwijn on the turn
00:59:06and now the offside flag goes up, no good invention and vision from Siemens
00:59:18about to find out from the fourth official Andres Cabrera of Uruguay
00:59:36how much added time there will be, minimum of six added minutes
00:59:48Floated by Tyler Adams, Jedlin dealt with by Ake
01:00:06Reina
01:00:10Robinson
01:00:15He's done well tonight, Ake hasn't he, everything comes into that fox, yeah taking a bit of a hit
01:00:23that back three really never really moves that far apart, becomes a five of course when they want to
01:00:30put the rear guard in, confirmation of the yellow card a couple of moments ago for Frankie de Jong
01:00:34now it's Anthony Robinson being replaced for the United States by Jordan Morris and he comes on
01:00:43also for a 50th cap, same as Tim Ream, though his appearance will be brief
01:00:59Dutch are going to try and use up some of these six minutes by
01:01:03making a couple of changes of their own, Wout Weghorst and Matthias de Ligt
01:01:14That's Jedlin
01:01:19Morris will leave it for Pulisic, trying to turn Virgil van Dijk, Pulisic
01:01:26getting some help from Moussa, good ball in, Ake with the header
01:01:33Gakpo's won that from Zimmermann, Siemens almost
01:01:36put it back into Cody Gakpo, would have been interested if Gakpo would have got that back
01:01:40Jedlin who's gone to left back now with Morris
01:01:49over on the right hand side, here's Younes Moussa
01:01:57away from Siemens, now Moussa pulled back and de Jong was in exactly the right place at the right
01:02:04time and now the Dutch can make their changes, what about Nathan Ake, he's coming off and he's
01:02:12had a good day, very good, I think it suits him actually, the skill set that he has to play left
01:02:18side of a three, he's kind of like a center half come fullback, he sits, suits really well, again
01:02:24the manager deploying this tactic and bringing him into that position, look very comfortable
01:02:30back Gakpo as well going off, he has outstanding talent
01:02:35not quite able to get on the score sheet today, Cody Gakpo
01:02:45but they can wrap him up and save him for another day or to be more precise for Friday, van Dijk is on
01:02:59Rainer, good ball that was
01:03:05Rainer again, Moussa blocked by van Dijk, came out well there, van Dijk being criticized for
01:03:12that but he came up to the ball really well that time, Aronson
01:03:23Clinton did well
01:03:29Craig Verhulst was throwing on not the best as he tried to throw that to
01:03:37Chia Rainer to take the throw in, I think that was his angry arm
01:03:44Rainer with the cross and Hatchi Wright hurled himself at it, here's Jedlin, Moussa
01:03:59terrific, yeah outstanding, couple of assists then he gets one himself
01:04:07he might want to do the lottery and he goes home tonight to his hotel
01:04:22they're looking for a consolation the United States but
01:04:29Time's wing chariot hurries near
01:04:35Blintz header, here's Xavi Siemens and they can break here, Verhulst is forward,
01:04:44Steven Bergwijn is forward, he's going to find his own coat miners who cannot find a spot, should
01:04:51have been a fairly straightforward ball into Steven Bergwijn, Edgar Davids alongside
01:04:58Louis van Gaal on one side and Danny Blint the other, three wise men indeed
01:05:16a lot to build on for the World Cup in four years time when the United States will
01:05:20have big expectations upon them as co-hosts, I think they've been impressive it's an emerging
01:05:26nation as we know, participation in that country is unbelievable, the amount of people playing
01:05:31football and they now have their own league of course, the quality of that is improving all the
01:05:35time, you see that in the players here, they're now playing throughout Europe, I just think they
01:05:40lack experience at this level and surely next time around most of these players will be here again
01:05:45yeah they're a young squad with the exception really of Tim Ream at the back
01:05:50but it's all about four years time for the United States, it's now all about Friday for the Dutch
01:05:59because they are the first side into the quarterfinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals
01:06:08Louis van Gaal's long distinguished managerial career will go on at least for a few more days
01:06:16they've been tactically better, technically better and more clinical in front of goal
01:06:22the USA are out, it's finished Netherlands three, the United States one
