WC Quarter-Final Team Profiles

I was generating post-match reports since the beginning of the tournament. @FPL_Chase came up with the idea of compiling that data to map team profiles. With the help of two amazing people (@FPL_Jan and @FPLEchidna) we generated some reports.
For each team, a visualization of clustered progressive pass and carry paths is given. 'Progressive' refers to moves that increase chance of scoring a goal, measured by 'Expected Threat'. It is hard to generalize attacking patterns in a World Cup due to limited number of games.
We are providing raw data along with some comments. We listed top providers and receivers for each pass cluster, and top players for carry clusters. Numbers next to player names show the total Expected Threat generated in that cluster by the player.
If you are not familiar with Expected Threat metric, more info is at @karun1710's blog post: karun.in/blog/expected-…
@TifoFootball_ also have a great video about it
Our first report is about Netherlands.
Netherlands will play against Argentina in Quarter-Final, and here is #NED attacking pattern visualization with @FPL_Jan's comments. 🐐 ImageImage

I will be adding the remaining four team reports later today.

That's all!
Thanks a lot to @FPL_Chase for the idea and feedback, and @FPL_Jan and @FPLEchidna for their comments on teams and data.
I hope you found them interesting, and they give you a rough idea to follow during Quarter-Final games.
