Oranje fans seem pleased with the XI
13:57
Another youthful US side
Gregg Berhalter has fielded a team with an average age of 25 years and 84 days -- making it the youngest side in a World Cup knockout stage in 12 years.
Ironically, Slovakia in 2010 vs. the Netherlands was the most recent team to have a lower average age (24y 239 days).
13:52
Dutch Starting XI
Louis van Gaal's men remain unchanged from the side which won vs. Qatar.
Noppert; Timber, Van Dijk, Aké; Dumfries, De Roon, F. De Jong, Blind; Klaassen; Gakpo, Memphis.
13:46
US Starting XI
Two changes from the team which started vs. Iran.
Ferreira and Zimmerman come in for Sargent and Carter-Vickers.
Crucially, Christian Pulisic starts for the Stars and Stripes.
13:41
A reunion of two powerful forces
Both players, almost more than any others, carry the weight of their nations hope.
It's not the only commonality they share, it seems.
13:35
The Dutch are out in force!
13:32
Team of the group stage
Just one player from the combined rosters of the US and Holland have made the team of the group stages.
It is who you think it is.
Cristiano Ronaldo was named alongside the likes of Qatar's Meshaal Barsham, Canada's Tajon Buchanan and Costa Rica's Oscar Duarte in being among the worst group stage performers.
13:19
Superb hype video
If President Biden's video didn't get you hyped then maybe this one will.
Less than two hours until kick off from Khalifa International Stadium.
13:09
Joe's catching soccer fever - 'You guys are going to do it!'
President Biden has teamed up with Tyler Adams to throw his support behind the USA team.
One of the more extraordinarily made videos you'll see in a while!
12:58
Party time even in the early hours!
USA fans are already going delirious with the game still hours away from kicking off.
Say what you like, but the Americans are getting behind their guys. Scenes from down in Miami earlier this morning.
Some even slept out in tents by the looks of it!
12:51
Armin van Buuren pledges his allegiance!
While admitting he 'loves the US', the famous DJ, has understandably thrown his support behind his home country.
12:37
USA star Yunus Musah speaks before Holland clash
20-year-old star Yunus Musah revealed his season at Valencia has set him up for his success at the tournament.
Musah has impressed alongside central midfield partner Weston McKennie - who is his best friend within the US squad.
🦇🇺🇸 @yunusmusah8 shares his thoughts before @USMNT's game against @OnsOranje
🗣️ "The next game is going to be very difficult, we need to be confident. You won't achieve anything without confidence"
Good luck, Yunus!
12:30
USMNT going with the 'Let's Ride'
USMNT country, let's ride...
Of course, that saying - to those in the US - is known to be a favorite of Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson.
For the sake of the United States, its fans can only hope the US team don't play like Wilson has this season.
12:23
de Jong: 'We haven't shown our best yet'
Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong issues a warning for the rest of the nations still in the tournament.
If you're a big fan of subtitles, you'll love this.
12:16
A Charles Barkley x Louis van Gaal collab?!
It seems the Dutch took note of Charles Barkley's comments earlier this week and decided to stamp their territory by putting their manager on a $1 bill.
12:08
USMNT are fired up!
Knockout Round Soccer is upon us. Less than 3 hours to go!
GOOD MORNING, USA!!!!!!
It's a great day for some Knockout Round soccer.

America awaits
New York City lit up in the colors of the US team - and flag - last night as an ode to their history-makers.
Although in a strange showing of bipartisanship, the Empire State building was electronically draped in the colors of other R16 nations including Holland!
Talk about land of the free!
11:44
Could Cody be on the move?
Paul Scholes is at least one (former) Old Trafford man interested in seeing the Holland international at the Theater of Dreams.
It seems PSV would command a big fee, and rightfully so given his shining performances so far in Qatar.
Ronaldo's acrimonious departure could lead to United looking to bring in a replacement either in January or next summer, with Gakpo performing superbly at the World Cup with Holland.
11:30
Matt Turner wants you to get to the pub
I'm asking myself the same thing, USMNT!
11:25
How can the USA progress?
Gregg Berhalter's side are the underdogs to progress against a formidable Dutch side.
But what should give them optimism ahead of kick off at 10 ET / 3pm GMT
Opportunity awaits as the USA ready for their pivotal Round of 16 clash with Holland at the 2022 World Cup. Here, Dailymail.com takes a look at how the US can drive past the Dutch and reach the last-eight.
11:19
Path toward glory
Whoever is fortunate enough to win the first R of 16 game at this World Cup, will progress to the quarter-finals where they will meet the winner of Argentina vs. Australia
From thereon, it's anyone's game -- but teams they could meet in the semi-final are Brazil, South Korea, Croatia or Japan.
The USA progressed through a tricky Group B to the knockout stages, but it will only get harder in the next phase of the competition to keep moving forward.
11:10
Christian Pulisic....
The Chelsea man, who has shone for the US at this tournament, was under an injury cloud but he is more than likely ready to go.
Just to be sure, US media made sure to ask his teammates some delicate questions!
USMNT's Walker Zimmerman was bizarrely asked about the condition of Christian Pulisic's privates as the Chelsea star closes in on a return to action vs. Holland in Saturday's R16 clash.
11:01
Good morning!
