Netherlands have an Englishman as manager. Mark Parsons made his name in the USA with NWSL side Portland Thorns. He’s been in the job just over a year. Here’s what he had to say before the match:
We’re playing a great opponent. Defending will be important but we have have special players who have the qualities to hurt Sweden. We finally have everyone healthy and available after nine months when we didn’t. These players, this team, when the tournament comes around they grow two feet taller. We will show our strengths and impose our identity on this game. We’re happy everyone is in the place they’re in. There will be no bigger physical test than Sweden. They are high energy. The less transition we see it will suit us, the more transition will suit them.
