As an American, this is tough to watch, but the truth is we were just outplayed. Congratulations to the Netherlands. All the best to your team for the rest of the World Cup.
The Dutch made very bad careless defensive mistakes in this football match, that any good team would score on. I'am pretty sure they can't away with that against Argentina.
I feel like we actually controlled the game quite well, it was even in terms of possession and shots it just came down to bad defense and not taking advantage of our chances. It seems like USA’s defense is always great in the group stage and then falls apart.
The most frustrating thing about this loss was on basic defensive concepts. You don’t have to play for AC Milan to know how to follow your marks, communicate amongst your teammates and scan the field for open runners. Van Gaal let his team hang back and go on great counters that stretched the defensive positioning and allowed them to make crosses to runners making diagonal runs.
Absolutely beautiful work by the Dutch defense. Multiple times, the keeper committed, but the ball was still in play and the defensemen came through with a clear. And that one goal the US got was a pure luck shot. The shots they had on goal weren't quite up to par. I'm American and I'd love to have seen them advance, but they were not the better team on the field this day. Good run for the men, however. It's much more than the USMNT has been able to do for many world cups now. Build on that! Heads high, until the women's team (yes, that's real) and the IRS come for their chunk of what you earned =/
Netherlands looked so calm the whole game. I think a few Netherlands players left the pitch, made some phone calls, went to go get something to eat, came back and scored the next two goals.

The goal at the end of the first half was killer. The US had a lot of possession in the attacking third and were starting to look more dangerous with it. Down 1-0 at half, I would have felt pretty good about our chances to tie it up. But the Dutch put together one good movement and made the pass and finish look so easy.
Big congratulations USA, tbh u guys passed my expectations. Hopefully we do more next WC. Our security team still remain at the WC, so we’re not out completely. God bless America 💙❤️🇺🇸
0:53 Around 40m, Memphis beats USA #4; passes and moves; runs 40m, with #4 just jogging along behind; then blasts in an easy shot within the 18. Who the f*k is #4? What is he thinking 9 mins into the game? 1:57 Look at that American defender #2, hands on hips, ball watching, oblivious to Daly Blind’s run. High school players know better than that. 4:15 #5 for USA, playing like in school again, no idea the goal scorer (his man) is wide open behind him. What the frick?! 😠
I was starting to get hopeful after we scored, but the other goal for the Netherlands was the nail in the coffin. Great game played by the Netherlands 🇳🇱 there is always 2026! 😅
Terrible defending and shape. Thank you to the USMNT for fighting hard and never giving up. I hope they learn from this and grow for future competitions and 2026 💪🏻💯⚽️
Technical skill and first touch made the difference. Look at that beautiful setup from the midfield for the first Dutch goal where six passes were first touch as well as the goal -- compare that with Wright's chance that should have been a relatively easy goal, but that bad first touch squandered it. The US does not yet have the depth to make such a play at such a pace. The argument you hear a lot that you need the "best athletes" to play the game is completely besides the point. First and foremost you need that skill and somehow it's not practiced enough, perhaps even *because* there's too much emphasis on raw track and field numbers.
I didn't expect this US team to get this far. They were so young, they looked like teens playing grown men. You couldn't tell them that, these guys fought hard. They played England tough to a draw and had chances to win. England's one of the best teams in the tournament. They beat Iran when they had to, that's a ton of pressure for a young team. I'm sure Iran would've loved to have been responsible for knocking the US out. Then, they give the Dutch a fight. That Dutch team looks solid, they had to work to get that W. There's much to look forward to if your a fan of team USA. This young team, most of these player's haven't hit there prime yet. Add a few more pieces like a true #9 striker to go with Pulisic and a big man that can be a serious threat on corner kicks, you'll have something. I know that kind of talent doesn't grow on trees but if they can find it, get ready. This team could make some real noise in 2026
Holland is a well-coached and disciplined team that plays like a cohesive unit. The 'States' team is scattered because they are poorly coached. Today the 'States' team looked like a bunch of high school players against the Netherlands national team. I have seen them play better in the past, but today they looked absolutely unprepared to take on a world class team and for Pulisic to miss that early and easy opportunity, set the tone and tempo for the rest of the game - way too sloppy and anemic effort throughout the game. The Dutch team took their foot off the gas long before the end of the game, or else it could have been a rout. They are saving their energy for the next game, and they have a lot more left in the tank. The U.S. 'schoolboys' have a long way to go and they for sure need a new and real coach like the Dutch have in Louis Van Gaal.
Usmnt did so well man im so suprised, they definitely have potential for future world cups keep this team together and develop and find a more refined coach 🥹🥹🥹🇺🇸
Let's be honest. US went as far as we really expected. They only could make beyond this phase if they encountered a very weak opposition. The Dutch has been OK, their team so far has been way bellow the expectation we have for them.
The US team needed more experience playing against different types/style and tactics . They will be better in 4 yrs(I hope!). They couldn't cope with Holland deliberately slowing the pace of the game and keeping the US in from of them. The defense on the flanks were very much to be desired and thus the lost.
This game really serves as a lesson to our US team on what adjustments are needed in defenses and taking advantage of opportunities to get more goals. Very Proud of our young team and there is always 2026. Congratulations to the Netherlands on a great win.
Eh, I’m American but this team is pretty underwhelming. Holland didn’t have to do anything special to beat us, pretty much just counter and cut back the ball in the box. Yes, Holland have great players and have always been a world class footballing country, but they made the US team look amateur without trying to be creative. Argentina would’ve washed us worse if we advanced somehow. I know this team has time to improve but none of these players are stand out. Belgium didn’t win any silverware let alone a WC with Hazard, KDB, Lukaku and Verthonghen. Holland has always had elite players, never won a WC. I don’t see this “young” team getting past the quarter finals, that’s being generous.
@Pdiallo then based on what you said USA managed to make round 16 as well it did not advance to quarters. And Mexican is still way better than USA cuz they beat Germany in 2018 and advanced to round 16. Look what teams that USA had in group stage? England is a only team that could be considered as a “strong team” but still it is a joke. And stop using USA is not a football nation as an excuse. You guys just suck at it even you are trying to play football.
@Z NH My point is Mexico being a looser in the world soccer stage . Mexico never made it to quarter in 2018. They were sent home in round of 16 by Brazil. Check your facts. The entire Mexican population is in soccer .. all the energy , bragging and the talk ,Mexico always underachieves. Soccer is not in the top 4 sports in USA. Usa is not a soccer nation but the team managed to make it to quarters .
@Pdiallo lol Mexico football is way better than USA. They beat Germany and advanced to the quarter final in 2018 World Cup. And what do you had in your group stage? Oh Iran and wales and Pengland. Just face it USA is a joke when we talking about the real football
@Lucar Firstly, every team at the Cup qualified and deserved to be there (except Qatar). Secondly, Welsh wasn't the US's biggest challenge, that was arguably England, who they tied. The Welsh scored on the US at the close of the game on a free kick by their star player. Perhaps you should at least watch the highlights before you run your mouth.
Our best chances came when we had players in the box forcing the Dutch to actually make decisions, which was very rare given Berhalter's wishy-washy tactics. We need a top quality coach to get the most out of this young side before 2026.
Congrats to the Dutch. Great game. Depay and Dumfries where to much. As a USA fan. Adjustments needed to be made but Berhalter did nothing. We had our chances before Wright's goal but ultimately the Dutch finished their chances and we didn't.

We can still take some positives from this game. The US definitely need to improve marking for crosses into the box, but I'm proud of our effort today. Onward boys!
@Claudio Gomes As much as I can't stand that whiny, complaining, perpetual victim, drama queen the USMNT agreed to the bargaining agreement that will bring so many $ for the women's team.
You mean the same team that lost to a group of 15 year olds. That team??? How many of those disasters would make the men’s team?? None. None would make good high school boys team, let alone a nation team.
The Dutch took care of business. They outplayed & outclassed the US, especially on defense. Decent run for the Americans but their young team has much room to grow. The progress is there but it’s slow & inconsistent at times. It’s a learning experience that the US can use when they host the next time. But this day belonged to the Dutch. Congratulations to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 for a well earned victory! 👏⚽️
The strength on the ball in the midfield was pretty obvious as the Dutch won balls when they needed to and controlled the game pretty well. USA has good passing and movement but lacks a bit in the size department. The fullbacks were decent this tournament, but USA lacked a real stopper in the center back. They did well to fight back into it to make it 2-1 but it seems to take them too many opportunities to get a goal, whereas the Dutch scored on their first attempt.
The us had more possession, more shots and looked better moving forward except their finishing wasn’t good enough and their defending was to relaxed poor result for them but good on the Netherlands for exposing the us weaknesses
I’m from America but I’ve traveled to Netherlands quite a few times, nicest people I’ve ever met, been cool to see the progression of US’ team in the past 10 years and great job to Netherlands 🇺🇸🇳🇱
1:58 10 US players in the box, all "ball watching" (look at the direction they're facing) disappointing defensive play from US, hats off to the Dutch for exposing our lack of defensive coordination.
Great play Netherlands in second half they felt little relaxed knowing they are safe but they picked up paying more attention scored third goal .. Hard luck USA.. Nice play Netherlands
Our marking was really bad today but the real consistent issue is our finishing. We don’t have a clinical player, and all our shots are right at the keeper
@ABRAHAM JOHNSON The problem was the opposite - they didn't have anyone ready to score. They just tried to dribble and pass everything in. Nobody was looking for the net.

Yeah, no goal sense. Also some pretty poor play on defense today. Our only goal was basically a fluke - 99/100 times the keeper grabs that or it goes over/wide.

With all the respects to Adams, he's the one who we all can blame on the first goal. He looked and saw Depay running in the middle of the field, and didn't speed up. He was just jugging back. If he'd have run with him, he could've blocked that pass.
Nah, it's basically what happens when a team has the professional ability to set up numerous great chances, but lack the ability to finish. One of those set ups is just finally gonna go in despite the team's weakness.
Making it out of group play isn't enough anymore, and 2026 feels like a long ways away after already having waited 8 years for another chance at the world cup only to go out like this.
It is hard to see the U.S. players so down on themselves after this game. They represented their country in the World Cup and truly have nothing to hang their heads about. It is hard not to win everything but when you think of all the little kids all over America who didn't even make their community team or maybe got cut from a team they wanted to be on, it is really an honor to represent your country in the World Cup and obviously not one very many people can claim. They should feel proud of their efforts here and continue to use their influence to inspire young kids all over America who can only dream of being on the international stage.
Well played by Netherlands. Proud of the team's effort. They did great, but Berhalter's gotta go. I feel like they could have done better in their play in group stage, and in this game, and I blame Berhalter for bad decisions going all the way back to when he began as the coach for why they didn't reach their full potential.
Big shoutout to our boyz for trying so hard. I know our team is the only team with youngest players who are still new to the game. I have a strong feeling that in the next 5-10 years, the US will have a strong football/soccer team.
The entire tournament the US lacked in goal scoring. They were not able to take advantage of set pieces and corners which when you are a weaker team offensively , you have to make those opportunities count. I didn't see much of the first half but they did well defensively in the group stage. Hopefully they can take this whole experience and build upon what they learned and get better for 2026. They may be much more competitive by then.
Berhalter’s gamble on Haji Wright failed. He was terrible when he’s played. Pepi or Pefok would have been way more clinical and given more to the team.
@S I said it too. Look at the teams in its group, Iran and Wales, do they look like powerhouse teams that you fear. Japan had to beat two good teams, Germany and Spain, to advance.
They deff saw something in film & footage that the USA defense never covered cutback runners in the box cuz they literally scored the same goal 3 times
1. The Netherlands (Dutch) looked so calm and secure and assured about themselves, they made this seem like a mini-Euro or "training" contest by their standards, historically and currently. 2. The U.S., while fielding an international squad of players "with much potential," still showed they are, perhaps, light years away (still) from competing against the world's best nations at the world's tournament. 3. Dear FOX and FOX Soccer, please, I am BEGGING you, for the love of the Almighty (sign of the cross), hire, train and assign Commentators who don't make a World Cup Round of 16 matchup of this caliber sound like a MLS-playoff game with "incredible (potential) biased." Please.
Literally all 3 goals were scored basically the same way. Dutch may not have the fastest but they’re really tactical. We had opportunities to win but did not finish them. Why is Reyna now playing? In the few minutes he was in he did very good. Defense, marking, and being aware was off. Didn’t feel like we did our best.
The comment section of every other highlights video has been "so proud of them!" and "they should hold their heads high!" but everyone here is just ragging on the U.S. I'm still super proud of how far this young team came.
@de9#838 Plus the others got what they wished. More USA fans would of been killed by now. So it's safe to say Netherlands was better off winning because it's dangerous if USA win because they would other world countries wouldn't like that and take it very personally
why should the usa team be congratulated? like, we dont do this nonsense with the medals we don't get from the Olympics. we instantly forget the losers and move on. and its pretty funny because there's always this thing with the USA people saying how boring American soccer is, yet they freakin lost on the world stage! usa needs to eat some warm humble pie.
throughout the entire tournament the US team looked pretty solid, still don't get it, how to let them score 3 identical goals, simply got outplayed by Dutch's tactic. the best is yet to come
The finishing is already a problem for the U.S. since the start of World Cup, now we have to pay for it, but still that was a good game for both team ❤
England is in the same class as the Dutch; so why is it that the Brits can never beat us in the World Cup?! We beat them in the miracle 1950 match, and then drew them the last 2 times, including the bizarre, back-spinning miracle ball that the English goalie totally botched in 2010. We were fortunate to make it out of the group stage this time... again.
@WILLIAM GREY Red Star used to have an amazing team with great games against teams like Bayern and Milan. Even won the European Cup right before Yugoslavia broke apart.
We should learn from this and make sure we prepare an organize team for 2026. I saw every time Netherland scored our players throw their hands in the air and saying "not my fault" they have a lot to work on and the good thing is that we have time for it.
We've got a bunch of young guys who were coddled stars in their youth and never learned to sacrifice themselves for a team. I saw the U.S. defenders make more plays in the attack than they ever did in defence. Get a bunch of tough dudes on defence that are more concerned with tackling and defensive shape than runs forward and you'd accomplish more.

I think there are 3 major areas the U.S.A needs to improve. 1: Defense. Too often the defense robotically retreats to an assigned position. They just run to a spot without being aware of players making runs into open space. The defense is frequently dismantled from a simple run. In Ultimate Frisbee I learned you want to guard the person with the disc, guard a receiver, or take away a passing lane. I think these goals could be applied to pretty much any team sport. A defender must be doing one of these 3 things in order to make a positive contribution. 2: First touch: Too often the ball is not smoothly controlled when a player receives a pass. This really hampers attacks because it leads to missed opportunities for the next pass and allows the defense time to recover. The technical ability of the top European and South American teams to receive a pass or pass instantly is a major factor in their success. 3: No composure in the final third. There were a lot of wild off balance crosses and shots throughout the tournament. Turner was very good in goal and the energy and activity from box to box was very good.
The US team can do everything but shoot. Too many opportunities wasted. Too open in defense. Matt Turner had a great game, without him, it would have been 5-1
@rangers94ism You can't make much money playing soccer in the US in general unless you're an aging European legend looking for one last stop before retiring. You pretty much have to go to Europe. The age limit for the NBA is 19, and I think it may go back to 18. And with NIL, college players can get paid now.
@Ed Lawn Well, soccer is becoming more popular with the kids these days. You can earn a paycheck playing soccer at a much earlier age where in games like basketball you have to be about 20 to earn a paycheck.
They have a Memphis Depay, we don't, and until we start getting our best athletes to choose soccer over basketball and football, it's probably going to stay that way. They can be competitive, but reaching the Group of 16 is pretty much the ceiling, unless they get lucky and draw Mexico. ;)
As a Dutchman living in the USA, I'm proud of the Americans, and how you turned this into a real thriller. Y'all had so much possession and actually gave us quite a few scares. I was not confident in the win until the 3-1 was scored. Very well played. Zero shame in this loss.
as an american, i have a lot of shame for this loss, the netherlands are fantastic and a clear favorite but the BASIC defending principles were completely ignored by the USA. the dutch walked those goals in
I'm proud of the Dutch!!US most overyhyped BORING TEAM in World Cup history ..TINY NETHERLANDS DISSECTED THIS NO goal stiff of a team;!!! GO ORANGE GO NETHERLANDS !!!
The US played very well this game, dominating possession, pass accuracy, shots, shots on target etc. But the Netherlands converted the 3 good chances they created, whereas we had roughly 6 good chances, and converted non of them. Thats the difference between teams like the Netherlands and the US, finishing good chances, and The US did not do that at all this world cup. BUUUUT we got out of the group and no one else from concacaf did, so way to represent US.
I’ve notice the Dutch players are very good at defending the goal when the goalkeeper is out, otherwise we would of had 2 more goals. Also terrible marking by our players on all 3 goals, especially the third one. We gave them a freebie. Our inexperience really showed in this game, but we did a great job attacking, and created plenty of chances. Still need that striker to bury some of these. If we can find a striker, add more depth, and get better on set pieces, I feel we got a legitimate shot at being champions in the next World Cup.
Good run USA. Had some great attacks that fell apart with bad touches in the box while attackers missed some easy goals you should score. US defense was disappointing especially on the counters. Young team and hope this WC lets the US grow the sport for the future.
Easily could’ve been 4-1 in US favor if we scored all those easy goals like you want to win not like a pick up game. Cmon guys the energy wasn’t here I hope this is a lesson for the books
Usa had a good run, at this level there is no room for errors,Nederland has more experienced players, used to play in strong leagues and the european tournaments, the manager also has been around and successful, american team is young and talented, they have a bright future.Good luck to Nederland, I would like to see a new name as world champion and have a feeling it might just happen
0:36 that should have been easy goal considering the hype pulsic is getting he had alot of time to place that ball on his weaker right foot and go left. If I was a pro striker I would do as much research as possible on my rivals keeper I'd even to try to see if bijlow,pasveer, noppert have leaked out there domimat hand. Keeper always dives to his dominant hand side when they are 1v1 with forward especially in first 5min there nerves are everywhere. They way USA played today ball watching first half yeah we can stick with "SAHKER"
@Tom Well, how about Italy? They haven't even been to the World Cup in the last 2 events. The US can and will improve. They are better than the last time and I think that they will be even better next time.
USA had many great chances...just fell short. we need to keep our pace up and keep on trying! it was a great exciting run. sad to see us leave. see you at 2026!
Netherlands were always favorites to go through, but that 3rd goal man. What on earth was Robinson doing?!?! Ughhh, it's soo frustrating 😤. He caused us a potential push for an equalizer man.
Yeah , sadly the skill gap the US has between the other teams is still large , I said this cup would be a good example for them and the next cup is the one to look for after there are more mature and experienced.
1st goal Tyler Adams completely falls asleep, then dest falls asleep on the second, and Robinson on the 3rd - what a shame to give up any goals let alone three in a World Cup knockout because players just inexplicably turned off
It's still called soccer btw 😤😤😤
No it’s called football England made it further
@C Li It’s just a word
At least I'm not the only one that says soccer AND YES ITS CALLED SOCCER
It’s still called rugby btw😤😤😤
Holding and carrying the ball with the hands all the time and you called football??? 🤡
As an American, this is tough to watch, but the truth is we were just outplayed. Congratulations to the Netherlands. All the best to your team for the rest of the World Cup.
The Dutch made very bad careless defensive mistakes in this football match, that any good team would score on. I'am pretty sure they can't away with that against Argentina.
No shame to losing to Holland
I feel like we actually controlled the game quite well, it was even in terms of possession and shots it just came down to bad defense and not taking advantage of our chances. It seems like USA’s defense is always great in the group stage and then falls apart.
@P Gurung the best , up their with the Germans . Amazing football
@GreaterSociety should’ve bet on the Dutch
The most frustrating thing about this loss was on basic defensive concepts. You don’t have to play for AC Milan to know how to follow your marks, communicate amongst your teammates and scan the field for open runners. Van Gaal let his team hang back and go on great counters that stretched the defensive positioning and allowed them to make crosses to runners making diagonal runs.
We will pay back to it 4🇧🇷x0
@Mike Hydrusko doubt it you wouldn’t be thinking that way
@Chris Saldivar I actually did. Varsity in both high school and college, bro.
@Chris Saldivar thank god
says the american who never played football
Absolutely beautiful work by the Dutch defense. Multiple times, the keeper committed, but the ball was still in play and the defensemen came through with a clear. And that one goal the US got was a pure luck shot. The shots they had on goal weren't quite up to par. I'm American and I'd love to have seen them advance, but they were not the better team on the field this day. Good run for the men, however. It's much more than the USMNT has been able to do for many world cups now. Build on that! Heads high, until the women's team (yes, that's real) and the IRS come for their chunk of what you earned =/
They mists seen a whole in u as defense in tape cuz all 3 goals were exactly the same and they exploited it in the box
Well played Netherlands, a really hard loss for United States fans. Hopefully 2026 will be better, U.S. need a striker who can actually score.
Netherlands looked so calm the whole game. I think a few Netherlands players left the pitch, made some phone calls, went to go get something to eat, came back and scored the next two goals.

@TK Frankie De Jong is not their best midfielder, Denzel Dumfries is their best midfielder.
Netherlands got pretty lucky. They gave up more chances than the US did. The difference is the US didn't finish their chances.
against argentina they will call their driver to come pick them up to the airport
🤣🤣🤣 Right!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
The goal at the end of the first half was killer. The US had a lot of possession in the attacking third and were starting to look more dangerous with it. Down 1-0 at half, I would have felt pretty good about our chances to tie it up. But the Dutch put together one good movement and made the pass and finish look so easy.
Big congratulations USA, tbh u guys passed my expectations. Hopefully we do more next WC. Our security team still remain at the WC, so we’re not out completely. God bless America 💙❤️🇺🇸
Honestly, I didn’t expect US men to make it this far in the tournament.
Well done fellas. Congrats on making it this far, and best of luck in the future.
The US’s marking for all 3 goals conceded was absolutely woeful….
@Near Lai so was all the other Olympic sports before we came storming in
@N we had to go and protect the world from Russia, China , and Iran…we would love to play games…but we have a duty to preform.
@Kyle JohnsonDude, the three greatest players of all time (Messi, Maradona and Pele) are not even above (5 ft 8 in). Futbal is a different animal.
0:53 Around 40m, Memphis beats USA #4; passes and moves; runs 40m, with #4 just jogging along behind; then blasts in an easy shot within the 18. Who the f*k is #4? What is he thinking 9 mins into the game?
1:57 Look at that American defender #2, hands on hips, ball watching, oblivious to Daly Blind’s run. High school players know better than that.
4:15 #5 for USA, playing like in school again, no idea the goal scorer (his man) is wide open behind him.
What the frick?! 😠
@HylandWeb, Ream is fine. The marking issues were the fullbacks. Second goal was 100% on Dest and third goal was 100% on Robinson
I was starting to get hopeful after we scored, but the other goal for the Netherlands was the nail in the coffin. Great game played by the Netherlands 🇳🇱 there is always 2026! 😅
Oranje always plays so smoothly. They're truly a machine. Could see them making top 3, still think France will take it though.
God I really hope England shuts them down if/when they beat Poland. Two WC wins in a row should be illegal 😂
I don't think they will beat Argentina. Argentina has better players. We will see
I don't want France to win again lol
Terrible defending and shape. Thank you to the USMNT for fighting hard and never giving up. I hope they learn from this and grow for future competitions and 2026 💪🏻💯⚽️
USMNT needs more skilled players in the national time
DeJong and Dumfries were absolutely phenomenal. Controlled the game.
@CD yeh
@Wisco9er well see how he fares with messi..
@CD yeah but you didn't mention it lol. Stop it
@Wisco9er still top tier..
@CD nah he plays for Ajax now
Technical skill and first touch made the difference. Look at that beautiful setup from the midfield for the first Dutch goal where six passes were first touch as well as the goal -- compare that with Wright's chance that should have been a relatively easy goal, but that bad first touch squandered it. The US does not yet have the depth to make such a play at such a pace. The argument you hear a lot that you need the "best athletes" to play the game is completely besides the point. First and foremost you need that skill and somehow it's not practiced enough, perhaps even *because* there's too much emphasis on raw track and field numbers.
So proud of our boys I know they gave it everything they had I’ll never forget them I hope to see them back in 2026 I know we can win it all some day
@Raul Navarro Its true tho, its a rarity for us to even lose in a sport we actually care ab
@Riley 1955 ay we won the World Series in 2016 😤
@Raul Navarro wdym
@Mark Baker lol classic deflect when truth hurts
Those guys wide opened shows we didn’t have enough passion in this game!
I didn't expect this US team to get this far. They were so young, they looked like teens playing grown men. You couldn't tell them that, these guys fought hard. They played England tough to a draw and had chances to win. England's one of the best teams in the tournament. They beat Iran when they had to, that's a ton of pressure for a young team. I'm sure Iran would've loved to have been responsible for knocking the US out. Then, they give the Dutch a fight. That Dutch team looks solid, they had to work to get that W.
There's much to look forward to if your a fan of team USA. This young team, most of these player's haven't hit there prime yet. Add a few more pieces like a true #9 striker to go with Pulisic and a big man that can be a serious threat on corner kicks, you'll have something. I know that kind of talent doesn't grow on trees but if they can find it, get ready. This team could make some real noise in 2026
Holland always has an amazing team and they are so clinical with their passing and crossing. Well played.
@My DNA Profiles or not qualifying to the World Cup
And they also have a history of choking in championship games. Correct?
@Ron B i agree, dest or mckennie couldnt complete anything to save their life… holding foward was too scare to come get the ball… lol
@Ron B agreed
Holland is a well-coached and disciplined team that plays like a cohesive unit. The 'States' team is scattered because they are poorly coached.
Today the 'States' team looked like a bunch of high school players against the Netherlands national team. I have seen them play better in the past, but today they looked absolutely unprepared to take on a world class team and for Pulisic to miss that early and easy opportunity, set the tone and tempo for the rest of the game - way too sloppy and anemic effort throughout the game.
The Dutch team took their foot off the gas long before the end of the game, or else it could have been a rout. They are saving their energy for the next game, and they have a lot more left in the tank. The U.S. 'schoolboys' have a long way to go and they for sure need a new and real coach like the Dutch have in Louis Van Gaal.
Netherlands literally played against 5 traffic cones on defense (It really sucks saying this as a U.S. fan)
@Abraham Avila if blind was actually blind he could've still crossed it to him, that's how much space Dumfries was in
@GreaterSociety … NEVER bet on those losers!
They did not field the best, they never do. Will be the same next time around… hope they can the coach… No backbone!
@China Virus keep crying
😆
Usmnt did so well man im so suprised, they definitely have potential for future world cups keep this team together and develop and find a more refined coach 🥹🥹🥹🇺🇸
I wanted America to win, but I have to give credit to Netherlands here, their defense is insane.
Let's be honest. US went as far as we really expected. They only could make beyond this phase if they encountered a very weak opposition. The Dutch has been OK, their team so far has been way bellow the expectation we have for them.
The US team needed more experience playing against different types/style and tactics . They will be better in 4 yrs(I hope!). They couldn't cope with Holland deliberately slowing the pace of the game and keeping the US in from of them. The defense on the flanks were very much to be desired and thus the lost.
This game really serves as a lesson to our US team on what adjustments are needed in defenses and taking advantage of opportunities to get more goals. Very Proud of our young team and there is always 2026. Congratulations to the Netherlands on a great win.
Eh, I’m American but this team is pretty underwhelming. Holland didn’t have to do anything special to beat us, pretty much just counter and cut back the ball in the box. Yes, Holland have great players and have always been a world class footballing country, but they made the US team look amateur without trying to be creative. Argentina would’ve washed us worse if we advanced somehow.
I know this team has time to improve but none of these players are stand out. Belgium didn’t win any silverware let alone a WC with Hazard, KDB, Lukaku and Verthonghen. Holland has always had elite players, never won a WC. I don’t see this “young” team getting past the quarter finals, that’s being generous.
@Pdiallo then based on what you said USA managed to make round 16 as well it did not advance to quarters. And Mexican is still way better than USA cuz they beat Germany in 2018 and advanced to round 16. Look what teams that USA had in group stage? England is a only team that could be considered as a “strong team” but still it is a joke. And stop using USA is not a football nation as an excuse. You guys just suck at it even you are trying to play football.
@Z NH My point is Mexico being a looser in the world soccer stage . Mexico never made it to quarter in 2018. They were sent home in round of 16 by Brazil. Check your facts. The entire Mexican population is in soccer .. all the energy , bragging and the talk ,Mexico always underachieves. Soccer is not in the top 4 sports in USA. Usa is not a soccer nation but the team managed to make it to quarters .
@Pdiallo lol Mexico football is way better than USA. They beat Germany and advanced to the quarter final in 2018 World Cup. And what do you had in your group stage? Oh Iran and wales and Pengland. Just face it USA is a joke when we talking about the real football
@Lucar Firstly, every team at the Cup qualified and deserved to be there (except Qatar). Secondly, Welsh wasn't the US's biggest challenge, that was arguably England, who they tied. The Welsh scored on the US at the close of the game on a free kick by their star player. Perhaps you should at least watch the highlights before you run your mouth.
Our best chances came when we had players in the box forcing the Dutch to actually make decisions, which was very rare given Berhalter's wishy-washy tactics. We need a top quality coach to get the most out of this young side before 2026.
Congrats to the Dutch. Great game. Depay and Dumfries where to much.
As a USA fan. Adjustments needed to be made but Berhalter did nothing. We had our chances before Wright's goal but ultimately the Dutch finished their chances and we didn't.
Both of Ned assists were insane and on point
My favorite part of the game was when the Dutch kept on scoring , and after that the US players would look at each other and blame each other lol

😂 👊🏼
We can still take some positives from this game. The US definitely need to improve marking for crosses into the box, but I'm proud of our effort today. Onward boys!
@Dexter Westin they agreed out of fear of being called sexist, homophobic, transphobic and even maybe racist, I mean why not!
@Claudio Gomes As much as I can't stand that whiny, complaining, perpetual victim, drama queen the USMNT agreed to the bargaining agreement that will bring so many $ for the women's team.
You mean the same team that lost to a group of 15 year olds. That team??? How many of those disasters would make the men’s team?? None. None would make good high school boys team, let alone a nation team.
At first I was like why does the women's team want half the money??? Then I saw todays game. Half sounds about right.
@Kyle Johnsonor Steven Seagal!!!
The Dutch took care of business. They outplayed & outclassed the US, especially on defense. Decent run for the Americans but their young team has much room to grow. The progress is there but it’s slow & inconsistent at times. It’s a learning experience that the US can use when they host the next time. But this day belonged to the Dutch. Congratulations to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 for a well earned victory! 👏⚽️
my heart is filled with joy my spirit is enraged with love, thank you Netherlands for bouncing these oppressors from this world cup
The OG's of capitalist oppression took down the modern day rulers.
The strength on the ball in the midfield was pretty obvious as the Dutch won balls when they needed to and controlled the game pretty well. USA has good passing and movement but lacks a bit in the size department. The fullbacks were decent this tournament, but USA lacked a real stopper in the center back. They did well to fight back into it to make it 2-1 but it seems to take them too many opportunities to get a goal, whereas the Dutch scored on their first attempt.
The us had more possession, more shots and looked better moving forward except their finishing wasn’t good enough and their defending was to relaxed poor result for them but good on the Netherlands for exposing the us weaknesses
I’m from America but I’ve traveled to Netherlands quite a few times, nicest people I’ve ever met, been cool to see the progression of US’ team in the past 10 years and great job to Netherlands 🇺🇸🇳🇱
Bye yanks good knowin ya 😂
@Imer Sarmiento and only one call themselves American, you know them well who they are.
@AB u got issues my man
For every other country this means EVERYTHING for them, for the USA, it’s week 13 tmrw
Uncle sam is furious
MAN IM SO PROUD OF USA. WE'RE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
These 5 mins highlights are way better than those 12 mins highlights 🔥
1:58 10 US players in the box, all "ball watching" (look at the direction they're facing) disappointing defensive play from US, hats off to the Dutch for exposing our lack of defensive coordination.
Great play Netherlands in second half they felt little relaxed knowing they are safe but they picked up paying more attention scored third goal .. Hard luck USA.. Nice play Netherlands
Our marking was really bad today but the real consistent issue is our finishing. We don’t have a clinical player, and all our shots are right at the keeper
@ABRAHAM JOHNSON The problem was the opposite - they didn't have anyone ready to score. They just tried to dribble and pass everything in. Nobody was looking for the net.
Everyone wants to score. Selfish play
@Ron B Pulisic’s opportunity wasn’t easy; the goalkeeper shut down the angles pretty quickly. New to football?

Yeah, no goal sense. Also some pretty poor play on defense today. Our only goal was basically a fluke - 99/100 times the keeper grabs that or it goes over/wide.
Gosh. The dutch just completely outclassed us. That was like pro vs AAA baseball. Lucky we got one goal, tbh.
What a solid Ned team!
Great playing

Love the Netherlands. I hope they get their first World Cup. USA made it farther than other Conmenbol teams, and that is all I can say.
Netherlands scored the same type of goal 3 times and there was no adjustment to counter that after the first goal 🤦♂️
Can't adjust players who missed their assignment to cover.
@CD yeah 100%
Shut up you mad cause you lost lmao
@Salis Eduardo neymar will score!
@CD welcome 🇧🇷 welcome 🇧🇷
⚽️🇧🇷⚽️🇧🇷⚽️🇧🇷⚽️🕺💃
USA has really come a long way 💪🏻
The US’s marking for all 3 goals conceded was absolutely woeful….
I thought we looked good against England but the lapses in the US defense were just awful today. 🇳🇱 🇺🇸
We played perfect vs. England. We looked the the best team in the world.
With all the respects to Adams, he's the one who we all can blame on the first goal. He looked and saw Depay running in the middle of the field, and didn't speed up. He was just jugging back. If he'd have run with him, he could've blocked that pass.
4:03 this goal is not just amazing. It is miracle.
@Night Owl Always lol
too little too late 😔
How about that pass ... no one talks about
Nah, it's basically what happens when a team has the professional ability to set up numerous great chances, but lack the ability to finish. One of those set ups is just finally gonna go in despite the team's weakness.
Miracle on elm street
Making it out of group play isn't enough anymore, and 2026 feels like a long ways away after already having waited 8 years for another chance at the world cup only to go out like this.
I mean at least you’re not Italy. Failing in the group stage in 2010 and 2014 and not even qualifying for 2018 and 2022.
This happens when you call it " soccer" 😂😂😂😂😂
It is hard to see the U.S. players so down on themselves after this game. They represented their country in the World Cup and truly have nothing to hang their heads about. It is hard not to win everything but when you think of all the little kids all over America who didn't even make their community team or maybe got cut from a team they wanted to be on, it is really an honor to represent your country in the World Cup and obviously not one very many people can claim. They should feel proud of their efforts here and continue to use their influence to inspire young kids all over America who can only dream of being on the international stage.
3 pretty good goals and 1 extremely lucky hit that ended up being a goal 😅
Well played by Netherlands. Proud of the team's effort. They did great, but Berhalter's gotta go. I feel like they could have done better in their play in group stage, and in this game, and I blame Berhalter for bad decisions going all the way back to when he began as the coach for why they didn't reach their full potential.
and what's his beef with Gio Reyna? The dude he started stunk it up.
Very good for the USA. Made so much progress over the decades. Definitely need to work on finishing, but USA is going onto the right direction
Big shoutout to our boyz for trying so hard. I know our team is the only team with youngest players who are still new to the game. I have a strong feeling that in the next 5-10 years, the US will have a strong football/soccer team.
The entire tournament the US lacked in goal scoring. They were not able to take advantage of set pieces and corners which when you are a weaker team offensively , you have to make those opportunities count. I didn't see much of the first half but they did well defensively in the group stage. Hopefully they can take this whole experience and build upon what they learned and get better for 2026. They may be much more competitive by then.
Berhalter’s gamble on Haji Wright failed. He was terrible when he’s played. Pepi or Pefok would have been way more clinical and given more to the team.
last goal from Ned was so shocking. a number of US defenders were in the box but nobody blocked Memphis.
@S I said it too. Look at the teams in its group, Iran and Wales, do they look like powerhouse teams that you fear. Japan had to beat two good teams, Germany and Spain, to advance.
@Owen Lee His first touch was horrible. Pushed too wide which gave the defenders time to hug the post.
US needs to be trained by world class coaches and trainers
@Cee Infiniti that goal looked 2 easy, cuz no one on USA was watching. Just got outclassed
They deff saw something in film & footage that the USA defense never covered cutback runners in the box cuz they literally scored the same goal 3 times
Great team, maybe a European coach could help to improve the defensive tactics.
1. The Netherlands (Dutch) looked so calm and secure and assured about themselves, they made this seem like a mini-Euro or "training" contest by their standards, historically and currently.
2. The U.S., while fielding an international squad of players "with much potential," still showed they are, perhaps, light years away (still) from competing against the world's best nations at the world's tournament.
3. Dear FOX and FOX Soccer, please, I am BEGGING you, for the love of the Almighty (sign of the cross), hire, train and assign Commentators who don't make a World Cup Round of 16 matchup of this caliber sound like a MLS-playoff game with "incredible (potential) biased." Please.
Defense deff slept on this game, all goals inside the box, 4 defenders and they all just looked lost.
Literally all 3 goals were scored basically the same way. Dutch may not have the fastest but they’re really tactical. We had opportunities to win but did not finish them. Why is Reyna now playing? In the few minutes he was in he did very good. Defense, marking, and being aware was off. Didn’t feel like we did our best.
Ive never played a comp game of soccer in my life and i could tell how poorly and carelessly the US was playing defense
The comment section of every other highlights video has been "so proud of them!" and "they should hold their heads high!" but everyone here is just ragging on the U.S. I'm still super proud of how far this young team came.
@de9#838 Plus the others got what they wished. More USA fans would of been killed by now. So it's safe to say Netherlands was better off winning because it's dangerous if USA win because they would other world countries wouldn't like that and take it very personally
@de9#838 Or are u saying that because they are American and not European?
why should the usa team be congratulated? like, we dont do this nonsense with the medals we don't get from the Olympics. we instantly forget the losers and move on. and its pretty funny because there's always this thing with the USA people saying how boring American soccer is, yet they freakin lost on the world stage! usa needs to eat some warm humble pie.
The truth has to be said
Same, they are so young and they will get more experience in the next 4 years.
throughout the entire tournament the US team looked pretty solid, still don't get it, how to let them score 3 identical goals, simply got outplayed by Dutch's tactic. the best is yet to come
US had several opportunities to make goals, a good goal making was missing in this game
The finishing is already a problem for the U.S. since the start of World Cup, now we have to pay for it, but still that was a good game for both team ❤
@i never laughnot with Harry Maguire on the pitch!
true we no longer have clutch strikers. the goal was a total fluke. and only scored 3 goals in 4 games and gave up 5.
your midfield was outplayed by Frankie De Jong 😂.
Bye usa back to yall playing soccer instead of FOOTBALL. Finally I dnt have to hear about yall again
@Larry Nester That's no true
England is in the same class as the Dutch; so why is it that the Brits can never beat us in the World Cup?! We beat them in the miracle 1950 match, and then drew them the last 2 times, including the bizarre, back-spinning miracle ball that the English goalie totally botched in 2010. We were fortunate to make it out of the group stage this time... again.
USA goal by Wright at 4:03 was amazing though. Miniscule window for error.
It shows that there are levels to this game!!
That Haji Wright goal was so nasty 😂
I am enjoying my first work cup so far the atmosphere of this game was amazing⚽️ Netherlands had a good game plan for USA
@Lupe Ramos PARTISAN BELGRADO!!!????
@WILLIAM GREY Red Star used to have an amazing team with great games against teams like Bayern and Milan. Even won the European Cup right before Yugoslavia broke apart.
@Jon Allen lol so what? Everybody does something for the first time at some point
@Lupe Ramos red star vs partizan
Lol first? Causal
We should learn from this and make sure we prepare an organize team for 2026. I saw every time Netherland scored our players throw their hands in the air and saying "not my fault" they have a lot to work on and the good thing is that we have time for it.
We've got a bunch of young guys who were coddled stars in their youth and never learned to sacrifice themselves for a team. I saw the U.S. defenders make more plays in the attack than they ever did in defence. Get a bunch of tough dudes on defence that are more concerned with tackling and defensive shape than runs forward and you'd accomplish more.
lol.. hopefully no other nations are preparing too
eat that warm humble pie, usa

I think there are 3 major areas the U.S.A needs to improve.
1: Defense. Too often the defense robotically retreats to an assigned position. They just run to a spot without being aware of players making runs into open space. The defense is frequently dismantled from a simple run.
In Ultimate Frisbee I learned you want to guard the person with the disc, guard a receiver, or take away a passing lane. I think these goals could be applied to pretty much any team sport. A defender must be doing one of these 3 things in order to make a positive contribution.
2: First touch: Too often the ball is not smoothly controlled when a player receives a pass. This really hampers attacks because it leads to missed opportunities for the next pass and allows the defense time to recover. The technical ability of the top European and South American teams to receive a pass or pass instantly is a major factor in their success.
3: No composure in the final third. There were a lot of wild off balance crosses and shots throughout the tournament.
Turner was very good in goal and the energy and activity from box to box was very good.
US had some of the worst defending from a national team I've seen in a while
This was like men against boys. Looked effortless for Holland.
The US team can do everything but shoot. Too many opportunities wasted. Too open in defense. Matt Turner had a great game, without him, it would have been 5-1
Lol 5-1 lol keep fantasizing
@rangers94ism You can't make much money playing soccer in the US in general unless you're an aging European legend looking for one last stop before retiring. You pretty much have to go to Europe. The age limit for the NBA is 19, and I think it may go back to 18. And with NIL, college players can get paid now.
Apparently, the US can't defend either. All three of those goals were at least in part due to disastrous defending.
@Ed Lawn Well, soccer is becoming more popular with the kids these days. You can earn a paycheck playing soccer at a much earlier age where in games like basketball you have to be about 20 to earn a paycheck.
They have a Memphis Depay, we don't, and until we start getting our best athletes to choose soccer over basketball and football, it's probably going to stay that way. They can be competitive, but reaching the Group of 16 is pretty much the ceiling, unless they get lucky and draw Mexico. ;)
"I believe that we will win 🤡" "its call soccer🤡" lmaooo more like "land of the free" cause all the goals they got scored on where free af haha!
As a Dutchman living in the USA, I'm proud of the Americans, and how you turned this into a real thriller. Y'all had so much possession and actually gave us quite a few scares. I was not confident in the win until the 3-1 was scored. Very well played. Zero shame in this loss.
as an american, i have a lot of shame for this loss, the netherlands are fantastic and a clear favorite but the BASIC defending principles were completely ignored by the USA. the dutch walked those goals in
I'm proud of the Dutch!!US most overyhyped BORING TEAM in World Cup history ..TINY NETHERLANDS DISSECTED THIS NO goal stiff of a team;!!! GO ORANGE GO NETHERLANDS !!!
The US played very well this game, dominating possession, pass accuracy, shots, shots on target etc. But the Netherlands converted the 3 good chances they created, whereas we had roughly 6 good chances, and converted non of them. Thats the difference between teams like the Netherlands and the US, finishing good chances, and The US did not do that at all this world cup. BUUUUT we got out of the group and no one else from concacaf did, so way to represent US.
I’ve notice the Dutch players are very good at defending the goal when the goalkeeper is out, otherwise we would of had 2 more goals. Also terrible marking by our players on all 3 goals, especially the third one. We gave them a freebie. Our inexperience really showed in this game, but we did a great job attacking, and created plenty of chances. Still need that striker to bury some of these. If we can find a striker, add more depth, and get better on set pieces, I feel we got a legitimate shot at being champions in the next World Cup.
Lol 😆 no
It wasn't inexperience
Good run USA. Had some great attacks that fell apart with bad touches in the box while attackers missed some easy goals you should score. US defense was disappointing especially on the counters. Young team and hope this WC lets the US grow the sport for the future.
we say this every yr lol its not gonna change
Easily could’ve been 4-1 in US favor if we scored all those easy goals like you want to win not like a pick up game. Cmon guys the energy wasn’t here I hope this is a lesson for the books
Exactly
Usa had a good run, at this level there is no room for errors,Nederland has more experienced players, used to play in strong leagues and the european tournaments, the manager also has been around and successful, american team is young and talented, they have a bright future.Good luck to Nederland, I would like to see a new name as world champion and have a feeling it might just happen
0:36 that should have been easy goal considering the hype pulsic is getting he had alot of time to place that ball on his weaker right foot and go left. If I was a pro striker I would do as much research as possible on my rivals keeper I'd even to try to see if bijlow,pasveer, noppert have leaked out there domimat hand. Keeper always dives to his dominant hand side when they are 1v1 with forward especially in first 5min there nerves are everywhere. They way USA played today ball watching first half yeah we can stick with "SAHKER"
Holland just played as they should and are expected. I used to be avid fan of Patrick Kluivert and Dennis Bergkamp.
Hard defeat. Our inexperience at the World Cup showed with this young squad. We’ve got 4 years to get better
The fans are part of the team lol. Delusion.
@Tom Well, how about Italy? They haven't even been to the World Cup in the last 2 events. The US can and will improve. They are better than the last time and I think that they will be even better next time.
you need to be like the french and the dutch. you wanna win you have 99% black players with 1 white dude just to look european thats how you win
@DarkJrk you don’t use “we” when talking about your team? That’s called a lack of passion.
@DarkJrk u thought u did something 😭😭🥱🥱
Dumfries was absolutely stellar in this match. His wide runs were killing the US back four.
USA had many great chances...just fell short. we need to keep our pace up and keep on trying! it was a great exciting run. sad to see us leave. see you at 2026!
Netherlands were always favorites to go through, but that 3rd goal man. What on earth was Robinson doing?!?! Ughhh, it's soo frustrating 😤. He caused us a potential push for an equalizer man.
Good game by the USA, we are much stronger then we were few years back. Next world cup it gonna be even better.
Yeah , sadly the skill gap the US has between the other teams is still large , I said this cup would be a good example for them and the next cup is the one to look for after there are more mature and experienced.
US Mens soccer team is not a top notch team, at least they past the group stage.
Their defense was disastrous
US created enough chances to score at least 3. The finishing need to be more clinical
USA is improving slowly, but surely. Good game.
1st goal Tyler Adams completely falls asleep, then dest falls asleep on the second, and Robinson on the 3rd - what a shame to give up any goals let alone three in a World Cup knockout because players just inexplicably turned off
Well done Netherlands! Look forward to a re-match in 2026! 🇺🇸❤️🇳🇱
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
