‘DUTCH FANS RIGHT TO BOYCOTT CUP’

Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal said Dutch fans who are boycotting the World Cup over human rights concerns are right to do so but hopes that if his side gets to next month’s final they will at least watch the game on television. On supporters boycotting the Cup over human rights concerns, Van Gaal said: “They are right to do that, but I hope we play so well that at the end of the tournament when we play the final, they’ll be watching on TV how good we are.” The Dutch kick off their Group A campaign against Senegal on Monday.
