Comments Netherlands vs Qatar: Weak host
Qatar, after a 0-2 defeat to Ecuador on the opening day, continued to fall into a white scene when losing to Senegal with a score of 1-3. This defeat ended the home team's hopes of qualifying for the group stage when they were 4 points behind the 2 first and second ranked teams.
Through 2 matches Qatar has shown limitations in physical, technical and psychological competition. The World Cup seems to be a playground beyond the reach of the players competing in the country and is still very inexperienced and has not been trained in the battle of Qatar.
The Netherlands, of course, is an outsized challenge for Qatar. Compared to the home team, "Agent Orange" is superior in all aspects, from people, gameplay to experience in the World Cup arena. That is why, although the performance is not too convincing, the army of coach Luis van Gaal is the ones who have the most opportunities to continue in Group A.
It is also important to know that, since losing to the Czech Republic at EURO 2021, the Netherlands has not once tasted bitter fruit, with 12 wins and 5 draws. In this series of matches, the "Orange whirlwind" battered Turkey to 6-1, and knocked down the second-ranked team in the world Belgium with a score of 1-0. It would not be surprising if Qatar bid farewell to the 2022 World Cup with a huge loss.
The two teams have never met!
