    FIFA WC 2026: Van Dijk Praises Netherlands' Resilience After 5-1 Demolition Of Sweden

    FIFA World Cup: Following the Oranje’s 5-1 demolition of their fellow Europeans Sweden, captain Virgil van Dijk praised the Netherlands' performance and ability to bounce back after a difficult draw against Japan in the opening round.

    This was the Netherlands’ first victory at the FIFA World Cup 2026. It also proved to be a much-needed result, securing top spot in Group F following a frustrating draw with Japan.

    "I think the outside world underestimated Japan a little; they’re a great team. That match was always going to be difficult. The reactions after that game were a bit – I wouldn’t say disrespectful, but… Japan were unbeaten for a while; they went a spell without conceding a goal. They beat Brazil, England and Scotland. It was always going to be tough.
