That’ll do it

 

[JDailey23]

Have we had a single dangerous corner the whole tournament?

Nope

 

[Soar]

Defense just really let the team down today

A shame really.

 

[2 For The Brew]

Inswinging corners to a 6’8” goalkeeper are senseless.

 

[Rich]

Robinson just totally asleep.

Difference is that the Dutch in defense are far more stout.

You can't win anything in the air against them. They don't fall asleep.

Serving up goals on a platter.

Robinson is gassed but his ball skills are pretty consistently awful

 

[Soar]

Also Reyna not playing more is ridiculous

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

This was the most fun three years of US Soccer ever.

I'm excited to watch this young talented crop grow and develop.

The US being expected to make the World Cup and advance out of the group stage is quite a leap from where we have been historically.

Time to dominate CONCACAF and get back here in three and a half years.

I don't know if the Dutch can play this way against Argentina and win. I don't think you can give them this much time on the ball and only concede one goal.

Zimmerman is not Pele.

Gio is the most skilled player on this team and has a chance to be the greatest talent ever out of the US.

He's coming off injury, so I get not starting him--but his handling has been weird.

I thought they played pretty well.

They got a bit of a lesson going against a team with world class defensivemen and a great counter attack.

They were in this game though. Way closer than when they played Belgium.

They've got to find someone who can go win the ball in the air in the box. And they should absolutely be thinking they can win the gold cup.

Agree, but that Belgium team would wipe the floor with this Dutch team.

Def lots to look forward to in the future

Frustrating game though because we had chances

If Pulisic buries the early one who knows what happens
