Louis van Gaal has accepted criticism of the Netherlands after the draw with Ecuador on Friday but has demanded respect for the 17-game unbeaten sequence since he took charge.
If the Netherlands beat Qatar, who are already eliminated, in their final Group A match on Tuesday they are guaranteed to make the last 16, having claimed four points from their first two matches. After convincingly beating Senegal 2-0 in their opener they were flat in the 1-1 draw with Ecuador on Friday, conceding a late equaliser by Enner Valencia.
