In their first World Cup warm-up game, Curacao lost 4-1 to Scotland, despite going 1-0 up; however, Dick Advocaat\u2019s men reacted well by beating Aruba 4-0 ahead of their first competitive game.<\/p>\n
As the smallest nation in this year’s World Cup, Curacao are looking for a big upset in their first-ever World Cup game. To do this, former Manchester United and current Sheffield United man, Tahith Chong, will be their main attacking threat, with former Aston Villa man, Leandro Bacuna, captaining the side.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Eloy Room will be familiar with the conditions in the US as he plays his club football for Miami FC.<\/p>\n
