Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Netherlands' World Cup Group G qualifier with Latvia! Can Louis van Gaal's side make it five wins from eight and take a step closer to Qatar?

van Gaal on facing Latvia: "Playing against these kinds of teams, under these circumstances, is and will always be very difficult. They cross the halfway line three times, but then they have every chance and space to score a goal. In general, we will attack and they will defend. That awaits us, but maybe I will be surprised.”
