You guys are simply not good enough to play agressive.
The other guy has the right logic but it wouldn't work in real life in that scenario, your playstyle thus far has been reliant on wingers and counter-attacking, but you give up possession.
You can (barely) get away with that shit against opponents of similar physical skill to you, Senegal had a much better gameplan and was just as good as you skill-wise, the score is deceptive on that one, and they played without Mane.
However, the skillgap between you and U.S is still too big, so if you would've started losing, and played the match agressively, you most likely would've climbed back and won, because even if U.S becomes overly passive, you're still too good for them.
None of this shit will work against us, you're essentially a shittier version of Uruguay but your group was easier so you didnt go out in groupstages like Uruguay, your best hope is that we pussy the FUCK out and choke the shit out of this match, otherwise, you'll be outclassed on every category.
Nederland has a genuine football tradition, you guys care about the sport, you're good at it, you constantly produce great talent and most importantly, you play BEAUTIFUL football, so i dont know why Van Gaal is making you play this horrible, aesthetically disgusting style, this isnt real Dutch football, im hoping this will be when you guys hit the reboot button.
