Virgil van Dijk has challenged he and his fellow Netherlands team-mates to produce a more complete showing in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup after they negotiated their way past an awkward United States side.
Goals from former Manchester United duo Memphis Depay and Daley Blind handed the Oranjes a two-goal lead heading into the break. However, American forward Haji Wright halved the deficit with 15 minutes remaining in Doha, before defender Denzel Dumfries resurrected the two-goal advantage and sealed an emphatic victory for Louis Van Gaal's side.
However, the Liverpool defender, who serves as captain, wants to see more from his nation in the latter stages of the tournament as they aspire to put their recent World Cup heartbreak behind them and achieve a feat the likes of Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten could not in securing a maiden triumph in the competition.
