Steven Berghuis - 10 crosses in relief Berghuis assisted once to go with two shots (zero on target), 10 crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Friday's 2-2 (3-4) shootout defeat against Argentina. In addition, he was...
Impact Berghuis came on for Steven Bergwijn at half time and wasted little time getting busy whipping in crosses to his taller forward teammates. Although he tallied an assist and generated some nice volume, his efforts fell just short of helping his squad to pull out the victory. Berghuis also had a promising free kick blocked by the wall and crucially had his penalty shootout attempt saved. He'll likely next feature for Ajax after the international break.

Steven Bergwijn - Comes off bench in win Bergwijn put one shot off target during the Dec. 3 win over the United States in the Round of 16.
Impact Bergwijn had started during the first two games of the group stage but with Memphis Depay fit he's no longer a starting option. Bergwijn still has the talent to contribute when called upon, though he's taken just one shot in three appearances.

Meet Daley Blind: Netherlands' do-it-all defender wearing a pacemaker while playing in World Cup vs Argentina Here's what you need to know about Daley Blind, one of the Netherlands' senior-most leaders, who wears a pacemaker when he plays.

Daley Blind - Busy in rout Blind scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win against USA.
Impact Blind and Netherlands controlled the match - with the Dutch fullbacks taking over and scoring and assisting each. The United States couldn't handle the pressure down either flank and Blind punished them with a goal and assist in the one-sided win. This was the first time on the scoresheet for either Dutch full-back at the World Cup and they will hope to build on this against Argentina or Australia.

Mohammed Kudus - Fires four shots Kudus took four shots (one on goal) and crossed once inaccurately during Friday's 2-0 loss to Uruguay.
Impact Kudus was held off the scoresheet, but wasn't alone as Ghana were shutout on Friday. So ends the attacker's World Cup run, as Kudus impressed in the tournament scoring two goals while firing eight shots.

Davy Klaassen - Assists opener in win over Qatar Klaassen assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and three chances created in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Qatar.
Impact Klaassen has been extremely prolific all campaign after logging in his third straight game with a major contribution while mounting a total of one goal and two assists in his three matches (two starts). All that should keep him in the starting XI for the Round of 16 though the USA won't be an easy match up.

Kenneth Taylor - Sees single cameo Taylor made one five-minute appearance during the World Cup group stage.
Impact Taylor saw just five minute off the bench and is near the bottom of the pecking order for the Dutch national team. The midfielder is a strong box-to-box player but just isn't required and largely fills the same role as Frenkie De Jong, making it unlikely he sees any playing time in the knockout stage.
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Bergwijn - Unused in finale Bergwijn went as an unused substitute during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Qatar.
Impact Bergwijn started each of the opening two matches but came off at half-time during a one-all draw with Ecuador. It seems that with Memphis Depay back in the starting XI Bergwijn has lost his consistent playing time.
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Berghuis - Comes off bench in final matches Berghuis came off the bench for the final two matches of the World Cup group stage, failing to create a chance in those matches.
Impact Berghuis started the opener with Memphis Depay out through injury. With Depay back in the squad, Berghuis has been relegated to a role off the bench for the most part. Depay will remain in the starting XI for a knockout clash with team USA.
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jurrien Timber - Starts final two matches Timber started and played 90 minutes in each of the final two matches of the World Cup group stage.
Impact Timber was on the bench for the World Cup opener, but evidently earned a spot back in the starting XI for the final two matches. The central defender made six tackles in that time and kept a clean sheet during the finale against Qatar. Timber and Netherlands take on team USA in the first knockout round of the World Cup.
NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daley Blind - Plays every minute Blind started and played 270 minutes during the knockout stage of the 2022 World Cup.
Impact Blind has been a nailed-on starter at left wing-back, though he's generally been more defensively minded. Blind has three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in the group stage. Netherlands open the knockout stage against Team USA.
