A worrying start for the Dutch national team at the World Cup. In Dallas, national coach Ronald Koeman’s team did not get further than a 2-2 draw against Japan. This resulted in varying reactions from the Oranje fans afterwards. “I didn’t understand much about those substitutions.”
“I have the feeling that the spirit is not present in the team,” says a critical Dutch fan. Like many other supporters, he watched the match against Japan in the pub.
A little later, another orange-colored supporter leaves the Amsterdam bar Barricade a little more positively. “It’s only the beginning of the tournament and we don’t have to worry yet.”
