After a bright start for the US, the Dutch are content to just park the bus and kill this game

Only just started watching but the word “toothless” springs to mind about the USA’s ability in the last third.

Now wait for the Worldy :lolol:

Quality and composure in front of goal is the difference between them.

I've just replayed the first Dutch goal. There were 20 one-touch passes, including the goalkeeper and the full width of the pitch.

They passed it through the entire Dutch team and also the entire USA team and finally passed it into the goal. It was absolutely sensational.

Edit: the pundits make it 21. I missed one.

Well that's torn it. The Dutch had packed the defense after going ahead and the US had no solution to unlock it. Now sucker punched for a second goal... it'll take a miracle to get back into this...

Started off well and then got beat due to some good passing from them yes, but also terrible marking on both goals. Sigh. Should not have started Zimmerman again either, dude is not WC quality to be honest.😥

If he meant to do that, it’s one of the greatest finishes of all time

Comedy defending from USA for all three goals.

Text book examples of ball watching. Acres of space for the Dutch.
