The atmosphere in the Netherlands national team camp remains at an all-time high — and sometimes dangerously intense — with tension and aggression running rampant during training sessions.
Details: The debate over the recent clash between de Jong and Timber had barely subsided when another hard-hitting episode flared up during the latest “Oranje” training. According to Polymarket Sports, striker Wout Weghorst delivered an extremely rough and uncompromising tackle on his teammate, defender Lutsharel Geertruida.

Reports indicate that the forward went in hard during an intrasquad scrimmage, sparking an immediate and emotional reaction among the players.
It remains unclear whether Geertruida sustained any injury as a result of this intense challenge.
It’s worth noting that the Netherlands will play their third World Cup group stage match overnight from Thursday to Friday, June 26, with kickoff at 01:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: A historic record from the Pele era has fallen. The Netherlands have set an all-time World Cup record.
