The U.S. may have just punched its last-16 ticket, but Gregg Berhalter says it's been scouting the Netherlands for 11 months. brianstraus on that and more on the eve of a day of great opportunity for the USMNT
, has little to lose against a Dutch squad that’s looked far from unbeatable.
“So we know we're going to have to give it our all, but I think that's where our mentality has been really, really good against some of the biggest opponents,” he continued. “We haven't looked at [World Cup matches] as a 90 minute game. We've taken every game minute by minute, living in the moment, staying present, and that's been the most important thing for us.”Knockout rounds can go beyond 90 minutes of course—all the way to 120 and then, if still level,.
“We've been watching Holland for the last 11 months, watching all their games,” Berhalter said. “We’ve had multiple people at their group-stage games watching live. We had the wide angle [video], so [we’re] really doing a deep dive on them. All that information was presented to us immediately after the game against Iran, and we started preparing.
“In 2014, it was exactly the same. It was no different. It was very negative,” van Gaal said. “So, it’s the exact same thing now. Same old. So I’m used to it, and I think my players are also used to it. So we are just calmly going to continue on the path that we have embarked on.” “I think that they’ve evolved well. It’s typically American—I would say that they evolve rapidly and they have many players in European top clubs. So it goes without saying that they would perform and achieve these results,” he added. “I think they are an example of what a good team is supposed to be.”
