“I think I look at the World Cup differently than my family or acquaintances,” says Lars Keppel. The 37-year-old coach of VV Assendelft notices that the tournament in Qatar is really starting to come to life. “Especially now that Sinterklaas has left the country and a squatter with Argentina is on the program.”

“I do think that Van Gaal can make Orange world champions,” said a hopeful Keppel. Who chooses the attacking duo Depay and Steven Bergwijn. The Ajax player is no longer sure of a basic place, but Keppel still expresses his confidence for the fast Amsterdammer. “I would not choose Davy Klaassen out of ten and put Cody Gakpo there, so that Bergwijn can be in the front.”

The Netherlands – Argentina starts tonight at 8 p.m.
