Holland's motivation to beat the USA in their World Cup round-of-16 showdown today has come from an unlikely source: NBA legend Charles Barkley.
The US and the Dutch face off for a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament, with both sides having successfully navigated their way through the group stages in Qatar.
And after America booked its place in the latter stages of the competition, Barkley was quick to start the verbal jousting, insisting that 'we opening a can of whoop a** cause I guarantee the Netherlands are in trouble.'
Holland's Twitter account posted a clip previewing the game against the USA on Saturday
