The Netherlands will host the UEFA Nations League finals for the first time next year, with the cities of Rotterdam and Enschede picked by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to host matches, European soccer's governing body said on Tuesday.
There are four games taking place on Tuesday at the World Cup, and two of them have European interest: first Netherlands take on hosts Qatar -- who are already eliminated -- and later Wales face England, and need to score a huge upset to make it through to the next round from their current position at the bottom of the table.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 group stage is coming to a conclusion, with only the last round of matches left. Only Qatar and Canada have been mathematically eliminated from the Round 16 race while all other teams are still in contention, at least theoretically. In Group A, the battle for the two Round of 16 spots is wide open, with Netherlands, Ecuador, and Senegal still in the fray while the hosts Qatar were the first ones to drop out of the race.
Louis van Gaal has emphasised his belief that the Netherlands can win the Qatar World Cup - and "deserve some respect".
DOHA: The Netherlands is on the verge of reaching the knockout stage at the World Cup and an overwhelming favorite in its final Group A match on Tuesday against host nation Qatar. If the Dutch advance it will put more focus on 71-year-old coach Louis van Gaal, who stepped out of retirement just over a year ago to take over the national team while being treated for aggressive prostate cancer. Host nation Qatar has lost its first two matches and already missed its chance to move on from the group stage.
DOHA : If the Netherlands do not improve possession they have little chance of winning the World Cup, coach Louis van Gaal said on Friday after his men let a chance to reach the last 16 slip through their fingers with a 1-1 draw with Ecuador.
Ecuador's "Superman" captain Enner Valencia led a feisty fightback on Friday as the South Americans drew 1-1 with the Netherlands in Group A to keep both teams in the running for the last 16 while ending hosts Qatar's chances of qualifying.
