We're finally out of the group stages of the World Cup 2022: USA vs Netherlands is the first game of the Round of 16, as group A winner Netherlands meets group B runner-up USA on December 3.
USA slipped through the group stage with a surprise victory over Wales in its final game, while the Netherlands smashed through its first few games with two wins and a draw.
So the odds are certainly in the Netherlands' favor, but that doesn't mean the USA team's fate is set — it's surprised us all by getting this far, and global sporting events like this often bring us underdog moments.

What you need to know about the match
The USA vs Netherlands game is the first match of the Round of 16, with the winner of group A (Netherlands) going against the runners-up of group B (USA). The runner-up of A (Senegal) will play the winners of B (England) one day later.
The Netherlands had a pretty strong group-stage performance, winning against Senegal and Qatar and drawing only to Ecuador. USA drew two and pulled into second place in its group with a win against Wales in its last game.
In 2014 and 2010, USA got to the Round of 16 but fell at its first hurdle, so the team is likely hoping that it can beat that record (though simply by qualifying for the World Cup it's surpassed 2018).
The Netherlands also didn't qualify in 2018, but it came third place in 2014 and second in 2010, so it has a lot to prove.
Bookies are generally looking to a win for the Netherlands, but not by a dramatic margin, so USA pulling ahead is certainly within the realms of possibility.
