FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Naive by US. Streetwise Dutch.

[armaghniac]

Both Dutch goals the same, cross to incoming player. US work hard, Netherlands gets the goals.

[RedHand88]

USA have been the better team.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Dunno Redhand. Dutch content to let them have ball soak up pressure then counter attack

[J70]

Pulisic doesn't look fit. US, in general, far too slow and ponderous. Any time they moved it around quickly, which wasn't often, they caused the Dutch problems. Otherwise this is a stroll for Holland.

[weareros]

Chances go leor in this second half. A Jimmy Burke type goal there by US.

[imtommygunn]

Very naive. Basically conceded the same goal twice with no one covering late runners into the box.

Dutch not fantastic either but better.

[mrdeeds]

That is nearly a good US team. One talented forward short.

[armaghniac]

The Dutch will be happy to be in the QFs when Belgium and Germany have been sent home.
The US have a platform to build on for a good show when they are hosts in 4 years time.

Dutch not fantastic either but better.

and the third goal came about because the left back drifted too far in and left the Dutch player completely unmarked. The US also had similar chances to the Dutch but all their forwards were deep in the penalty area and covered by the Dutch, there was space at the edge of the box but no US players making late runs.

I was about to post that Collins and RTE panel are grinding bores, but that was a good segment on Mac Allisters Irish relatives.

GOAT

[Captain Obvious]

First shot on target in the match that goal.

[weareros]

I was wondering which goalie would get caught out. The sod is slow.

[Milltown Row2]

In the mix!
