Netherlands against the USA today

I was not going to make any more WC predictions, but I shall.
Netherlands to win by two goals.
There - so far I have not got a single prediction correct, so that should give the USA a boost!

In the other game, Argentina to beat Australia
Go on, Aussie!

Netherlands may win, but not by two goals. US defense is solid. If Argentina is on they should crush the Aussies. But this has been a weird WC .

@luckranger71 Wales played well below par and England blow hot and cold. They are not contenders for this competition.

@LizOwen Wales was completely outclassed by the US and bailed out by a stupid defensive move by a US sub. The greatest England team in the last 50 years (allegedly) was played to a standstill. Blah Blah. You sound like a typical European soccer snob. Glad Germany is eliminated.

@luckranger71 Wales were shockingly poor in all their games. Before the WC, England have lost their last six or seven games and Iran are a very average side.
We are all glad that Germany are out! So are Belgium of course.

Thank you – I have a few Dutch friends, and I wrote them that their team will lose today. 😏

@helenS well to be honest, we aren't supposed to win. The Netherlands are a much stronger team.

@SW-User Isn't it amazing that such a small country has been tremendously successful for many decades!

@helenS. Heart. Determination. Teamwork.

As an American, I spent many a summer in camps and on a premier team learning the Dutch system. It’s creative and breaks down the opponents if they’re not disciplined.

The American midfield creates chaos and pressure.

A two goal win by either team is not out of the question.

Which system will prevail? Games are not played on paper.

Yep. Passion overwhelms volume almost all the time :)
