If this team could finish they would be really good. They get all kinds of chances but just can't finish or find the open man in the box. If Martinelli was on this team we would have an extra goal or two per game.

Berhalter is a terrible coach concedes midfield with 3 guys. He did the right thing vs England crapped the bad vs the Dutch embarrassing

Cannot play a 4-3-3 against the Dutch massive f up

Why don't the US guys fill gaps when we have the ball on the wing at the penalty box

And NED just scored so that's the game

Farr Berhalter.

Has Ferrara touched the ball with the exception of that give away that led to a goal at the half?

Berhalters job is to give us a chance to win. He failed miserably. Hard to put it on the players when they have to cover absurd amounts of ground because of berhalter awful tactics

Total lack of effort from Dest and Adams on those goals. Regardless of the tactics. Mark the effing goal scorers!

Teams that win find open players making runs into the box we just throw it in the box and hope it finds someone. Pulisik goal against Iran he just ran into the ball with his body and brute forced it in not really skill but more being in the right place at the right time.

Yea, he touched it real bad.

How many different strikers have we run out? Sargent has looked like our best bet by far.

Whatever. We’re just totally outclassed in this one.

Just a bad match up for a smaller team. US can't get anything going from lobs. They have zero margin to give on open looks and went 0 for 2. And right now, NED is just bigger and better.

You don’t understand the importance of having numbers in the mf and how that prevents these individual breakdowns. You lose mf like we have the entire half when the Dutch have the ball you have no shot. Adams should have tracked. And in dest case a mf should be there to not allow that ball to come across. Dest is gassed from having to play an attack mf role and get back to defend. Yes tactics matter led to the entire break down. I mean look at the massive gap in front of our defenders.

They are young and made it to knockouts, lets hope the experience pays off and in 4 years we can figure out how to score. Quit over thinking and play more instinctive on offense.

Weah's shot was available 3-4 times before and would have been even better chances since there was more traffic in front of their GK.

Hope they just go for broke the 2nd half. Shake it up and take as many shots as possible.

When you are down the total amount of goals you have scored in the entire cup at half.....

As usual the lack of an even good #9 is the US achilles heel.

Achilles heal is 3 mf. You can’t even think about your number 9 if you lose mf. Look at the difference between how the Dutch defend that back angle vs the USA. Both times the usa had 4 defenders and a massive gap between our defenders and mf. The Dutch defenders don’t have to worry about defending that ball bc their mf falls back and takes the pressure off.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
