Netherlands national football team is going for its first win in the 2026 World Cup today against Sweden. The team of Ronald Koeman plays at 19 hours in Houston and hopes for a better result than against Japan. Oranje can break its 14th consecutive unbeaten World Cup match record and thereby break the record of Brazil from the 50s and 60s. Pelé and co. eventually lost 3-1 to Hungary in 1966. Dutch fans have already started the party in Houston with a famous 'Fan Walk' to the stadium. The player group of Ronald Koeman needs a welcome boost, because in the opener against Japan, no win was achieved. Frenkie de Jong is a slight question mark for the match against Sweden due to a collision with Quinten Timber in training. Ronald Koeman honestly admitted that his substitutions against Japan did not have the expected impact. 'My substitutions did not work out well. That responsibility lies with me.'
