(Reuters) - Netherlands are relishing their underdog status ahead of the women's World Cup final against the United States on Sunday, midfielder Danielle van de Donk has said. "I love being underdogs," Van de Donk told reporters. Reigning European champions Netherlands struggled to qualify for the World Cup, having progressed through playoffs, but are now playing their second consecutive major final. "We are European champions, not just anyone," Van de Donk added. "I'm very proud of the team, I'm very proud of the Netherlands and I think we came this far as well because we have such amazing support all the time."
