Beat the Netherlanders, Hollanders, or maybe Dutch Scandanavian something or others with an orange fetish.

I'm about to attempt to watch. I've never watched soccer on purpose.
They’re about to face one of the best national teams in the world so it may not be pretty.
They love their beer over there but I always saw Budweiser available in their bars. I've always wondered if it were for tourists or if the locals like Budweiser too. Jack Daniels was always front and center as well from what I recall.
Sorry, another question. Why won’t we shoot the 17ing ball? We keep tapping it around into all kinds of traffic and turning it over every time we’re close to the goal.
I’d rather take a shot and hope for a lucky deflection than the tentative crap we’re doing

My wife hates their ovens.
Their backline is really good.. we cant even put together a good series of passes without a delfection/interception.
I guess you completely missed our red zone production stats this year??
Anything to **** on this football team for some of you. Get out in the sun more. It's good for your attitude.
Not really a choke. An extremely young US team going up against one of the best teams in the world isn’t a choke.
Probably a little since they are up 2-0, but it's really playing for the counterattack it looks to me.
Yeah. They’ve been doing that the whole game really. They feel confident they won’t concede a goal if they stay organized defensively.
And they got disorganized. I'm not sure the US guy knew anything about it but it went in!
Because he is a really good player surrounded by players just as good on his team. Thats how it works. They are better than us at every position.
Regardless of what the time of possession or shots on goal stats end up showing, the Dutch are putting on a clinic. Any time we get close to attacking the box, it seems like there's not much of a plan and most of the time we either blindly pass it to no one or else tap it around in traffic until we eventually turn it over.
On the 4-5 scoring opportunities that Netherlands has had, someone manages to completely lose our defense for a wide open shot. I don't get much about soccer, but even I can see that their footwork, spacing, and vision is 10x better than ours

That is exactly what they are. I think that has a little bit to do with why they have never won the World Cup. More often than not the later round games between equal teams in a tournament come down to one moment of sheer individual brilliance or one small, fatal mistake. The Dutch game is made to lose like that.
