Commentators constantly slagging USA off, what’s their beef? I think they’ve done okay. Not great but they’re still in the game

After a bright start for the US, the Dutch are content to just park the bus and kill this game
Quality and composure in front of goal is the difference between them.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

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...
Almost Brightonian.

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.

Comedy defending from USA for all three goals.
Text book examples of ball watching. Acres of space for the Dutch.

On the brightside, I'll be able to cheer for Mac in the quarter finals now.
