Van Gaal is furious that Holland's final group B match will be played before Brazil's concluding group A game

Louis van Gaal has accused Fifa of dirty “tricks” and a lack of “fair play” by claiming that the fixture list favours Brazil.

In a scathing attack on the world governing body, the Holland coach expressed anger that the host nation will play their final Group A match against Cameroon in Brasilia four hours after the Dutch kick off against Chile in Sao Paulo tomorrow.

Van Gaal is furious that Brazil have played their first two group matches before Holland but will now have the advantage of knowing the identity of their likely second-round opponents by the time they face Cameroon.

If Brazil win Group A, they will face the loser of Holland’s match with Chile in the second round in Belo Horizonte on Saturday.
