GAME NOTES | FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT NETHERLANDS

 

• USMNT Starting XI Cap Numbers (including this match): Christian Pulisic (56), Tim Ream (50), Weston McKennie (41), Walker Zimmerman (37), Tyler Adams (36), Antonee Robinson (33), Tim Weah (28), Matt Turner (24), Sergiño Dest (23), Yunus Musah (23), Jesús Ferreira (16)

• Today’s USMNT Starting XI has an average age of 25 years, 86 days. It is the second youngest lineup at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, coming in behind only the USA XI that began the last match against IR Iran (24 years, 321 days).

• Thus far, the USA has fielded four of the five youngest lineups at Qatar 2022:

 

Youngest Lineups at the 2022 FIFA World Cup (through Dec. 3)
Team	Date/Opponent	Age	Result
USA	Nov. 29 vs. IR Iran	24 years, 321 days	1-0 W
USA	Dec. 3 vs. Netherlands	25 years, 86 days	-
Spain	Dec. 1 vs. Japan	25 years, 99 days	1-2 L
USA	Nov. 21 vs. Wales	25 years, 102 days	0-0 D
USA	Nov. 25 vs. England	25 years, 169 days	1-1 D
Ecuador	Nov. 25 vs. Netherlands	25 years, 257 days	1-1 D

 

• Today’s Starting XI is also the USMNT’s youngest for a World Cup Knockout Round match:

 

USMNT Average Starting XI Age for World Cup Knockout Round Matches
Year	Opponent (Round)	Age	Result
2022	Netherlands (Ro16)	25 years, 86 days	--
1930	Argentina (SF)	27 years, 19 days	1-6 L
2010	Ghana (Ro16)	27 years, 145 days	1-2 L (AET)
2002	Mexico (Ro16)	27 years, 189 days	2-0 W
2002	Germany (QF)	27 years, 278 days	0-1 L
1994	Brazil (Ro16)	28 years, 6 days	0-1 L
2014	Belgium (Ro16)	28 years, 39 days	1-2 L (AET)

 

• Eight players in the Starting XI are 25 or younger: Antonee Robinson (25); Weston McKennie (24), Christian Pulisic (24), Tyler Adams (23), Sergiño Dest (22), Tim Weah (22), Jesús Ferreira (21), Yunus Musah (20).

• The lineup averages 32 caps and 19 in official competition.

• Gregg Berhalter makes two changes to the Starting XI that faced Iran. Center back Walker Zimmerman – who started the first two matches of the tournament – replaces Cameron Carter-Vickers in the XI, while forward Jesús Ferreira will make his FIFA World Cup debut in replacement of Josh Sargent, who is unavailable for selection today due to a right ankle sprain.

• The nine other players make their fourth consecutive start.

• Ferreira’s start takes the team’s number of World Cup debuts at Qatar 2022 to 19 players – extending the record already set by the USMNT at this tournament. The previous team record for debuts at one World Cup was 16 in 1990.

• At 23 years, 292 days, Tyler Adams is the youngest player to captain the USMNT in a World Cup Knockout Round match. The previous youngest was Tony Meola (25 years, 133 days) who wore the armband in the Round of 16 match against Brazil at the 1994 edition in the United States.

• Tyler Adams captains the USMNT for the 13th time tonight. The team is 5-1-6 when he wears the armband. Adams is the sixth different player to captain the USMNT in a World Cup Knockout Round match: Tom Florie (1930 vs. Argentina), Tony Meola (1994 vs. Brazil), Claudio Reyna (2002 vs. Mexico and Germany), Carlos Bocanegra (2010 vs. Ghana), Clint Dempsey (2014 vs. Belgium).

• Veteran defender Tim Ream earns his 50th cap, becoming the 59th player in USMNT history to hit the half-century mark. At age 35, he is the second oldest player in team history to earn his 50th cap, coming in behind the late Fernando Clavijo, who made his 50th appearance at age 36 in a Concacaf Gold Cup group stage match against Panama on July 14, 1993.

• At 20 years, four days, Yunus Musah is the youngest USMNT player to start a World Cup Knockout Round match. He bests Landon Donovan, who was 20 years, 107 days when he started the Round of 16 match against Mexico on June 17, 2002. Donovan scored the second goal in the 2-0 win against El Trí.

• Nine starters hail from European clubs and two from Major League Soccer. Club distribution: England (5), Italy (2), USA (2), France (1), Spain (1).

• Tyler Adams captains the USMNT for the 13th time tonight. The team is 5-1-6 when he wears the armband. Adams is the sixth different player to captain the USMNT in a World Cup Knockout Round match: Tom Florie (1930 vs. Argentina), Tony Meola (1994 vs. Brazil), Claudio Reyna (2002 vs. Mexico and Germany), Carlos Bocanegra (2010 vs. Ghana), Clint Dempsey (2014 vs. Belgium).

• CAUTION WATCH: Starters Tyler Adams, Sergiño Dest, Weston McKennie and Tim Ream, as well as substitute Kellyn Acosta all carry yellow cards into the match. Should any of them receive a caution against Netherlands, they would be suspended from a potential quarterfinal match.

• With Josh Sargent unavailable for selection, the USMNT will dress 25 players for today’s game. Five substitutions are allowed in three different moments. Halftime does not count as a substitution moment.

• If the match is tied at the end of 90 minutes, we will proceed to two 15-minute periods of extra time. If still tied at the end of extra time, the match will be decided by penalty kicks.

• The USMNT is 4-5-0 in matches decided by extra time:

July 25, 2015	Panama	1-1 D (2-3 L)	2015 Gold Cup Third Place Match

 

• The USMNT is 1-4-0 all-time against Netherlands. The lone victory came in the last meeting, a wild 4-3 comeback victory against The Oranje on June 5, 2015 in Amsterdam. Substitutes Jordan Morris and DeAndre Yedlin both came off the bench for the USA in that match.
  
  
• Gregg Berhalter is 37-10-12 in 59 matches as USMNT head coach. The team has racked up a 7-1-0 record under Berhalter in Knockout Round matches, with the only loss coming in the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup Final – a 1-0 defeat to Mexico.

• Wilton Sampaio of Brazil is the referee for today’s match. This is his third match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, having officiated Senegal-Netherlands on Nov. 21 and Poland-Saudi Arabia on Nov. 26. This is the first USMNT match he has officiated.
