Elia over opvolger Koeman: 'Je kunt ook Van Nistelrooij naar voren schuiven'

Sportnieuws.nl looks back for the last time from the Culture Entertainment Studios on the 2026 World Cup match between the Netherlands and Morocco. Together with former international Eljero Elia, the painful elimination of the Dutch team after a penalty shootout is analyzed in detail. Elia, who played for the Netherlands for many years, understands little of national coach Ronald Koeman's tactical choices. The former winger previously worked with Koeman at Southampton, but barely recognized the coach during this match. According to Elia, the Netherlands played far too passively, while it was Morocco that took the initiative and dictated the game. The discussion also covers Koeman's substitutions. Why was Wout Weghorst preferred over players like Donyell Malen? Should the Netherlands have played more offensively? And which choices ultimately led to the Netherlands' elimination from the 2026 World Cup? In this extensive post-match analysis, Elia discusses the tactics, the penalty shootout, the Netherlands' play, and Morocco's strong performance.
