How The U.S. Beat The Netherlands For A Fourth Women’s World Cup Title

Agree, Neil. Despite some opportunities from the Dutch, the U.S. has been the far more dangerous team. They made more than double the number of passes in the opposition’s penalty area. They’ve created three more chances. They’ve made more than double the amount of passes in the attacking third.

The difference is van Veenendaal. The model can’t account for that.

The U.S. completed 25 passes in the attacking third. The Dutch only attempted 13.
