This year's Qatar World Cup, fans complained that there are too many upsets. In fact, it may not be the case. The main reason is that many strong teams are keeping their strength in the group stage and have not played their cards at once. Belgium. Germany's exit can only be said to be self-defeated. Uruguay was eliminated in the group stage, which was caused by the coach's lack of strength, and the players' aging. Other teams that should enter the knockout round have entered. The first match between the
16 was the Netherlands and the United States. The Netherlands is full of stars in this World Cup, with 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage and 7 points, leading to the top 16 in the group stage. During the group stage, the Netherlands was also criticized by some fans for playing poorly. In fact, that's just a trick of the old coach van Gaal . He can't expose his strategic and tactical intentions in the group stage where it's not difficult to qualify.

As for the draw between Wales and the United States, it is a normal strength. Of course, some people are standing in the United States, saying that they qualify because of their strength. Whether it is strength or not can be understood after entering the knockout round. After the game started, the first side to attack was not the Netherlands, but the United States, and probably wanted to give the opponent a warning. But it was the Netherlands who scored the goal first, in the 10th minute of the game. After the Dutch midfielder got the ball, Gakebo advanced and made a straight pass. Dumfries from the right side rushed to the right side of the penalty area. He glanced at the corner of the triangle and passed it back in front of the goal. Depp inserted it from behind the penalty area, and calmly pushed the ball to the left, breaking the deadlock on the court.
In the first half, neither side had any dead time, so the referee only gave the shortest stoppage time in this World Cup, giving 1 minute. But in this 1 minute, the Netherlands almost copied the first goal. Dumfries took the ball and rushed to the bottom line again, then passed the ball back to the goal with three kicks, and followed up with , Blinder, and made a push shot, helping the Netherlands take a 2-0 lead before the end of the half.
In the 75th minute of the second half, Wright from the US team scored a goal on the right side of the small penalty area with his heels, which made the game full of suspense again. But just 5 minutes later, the Netherlands used the same tactic to score another goal. Dumfries, who gave two assists, received a pass from Blinder in the penalty area and bounced into the net easily, completely killing the game.
Looking at the whole game, although the United States played lively, it was almost useless and played indiscriminately. For example, Dester plays as a defender, but does the work of a midfielder. It was precisely because of his running up and down that the right side of the US team was very empty and frequently gave the Netherlands the opportunity to attack. The Netherlands' three goals were completed by the Dest's defense.
The players of the United States are powerful and motivated, but they cannot use their strength. Every punch seems to hit the cotton. The Netherlands also gave the US team the benefit, that is, giving up possession. However, the party with a high ball possession rate does not mean the party with the advantage, because there are many invalid ball possession. Every push by the Netherlands will pose a great threat to the US team's defense. It is precisely because of this that when watching the football, some fans said: The United States has been beaten back to its original form, and only one of the only ones, Pulischi, can't execute the coach even if he has tactics.
Although the Netherlands won the ball, it also exposed its shortcomings. The back line is firm, but the forward line is relatively poor, lacking players with speed and point-catching style. It will be more difficult to attack the champion. What do you think?
