    The entire media was freaking out when Van Gaal made him our first goalie this tournament. He had never played any international game (also not at his club).

    1 chance 1 goal.. but so not worry they will let you get one back probably.

    truly disappointing, seeing us get the ball all the way close to goalie and fumble it by attempting the extra pass, fking shoot it man!!!

    Thanks.

    I have to say that lately I actually sort of root for Germany once we lost. That would have never happened when I was a child.

    truly hard to listen to the game, the amount of slobbering these announcers have for our Americans is just too excessive for this type of performance.

    Aside from that early shot at goal, we really haven't been doing anything

    Playing Ferrera at this point after not playing the whole tournament is costing the US. They look very capable of winning this game so far.

    Awful passers, no strikers. How the hell are we ever gonna score if it isn't on some fluke defensive lapse.

    No one on the team has the fking balls to shoot it, have to b literally right in front of the goal to even try to shoot.

    They looked capable in the first 5 minutes. Idk what you've been watching since.

    Not over though, need to make some adjustments

    The way we play is so untypical Dutch. The media and most Dutch hate it. They want to win and play an beautiful offensive game.

    16 cross attempted, 2 completed. that goes to show how awful we are at passing.

    Just fking shoot it, we have a better chance of tying it than whatever they are trying to do.


    The asian teams put up a better fight than whatever this is. I guess we can cope by watching the popular American sports.

    Im just find it humiliating for us to b so bad at a sport.

    I get not having the quality or skill of these teams.

    But how are these US players consistently winded and tired vs their counterparts? CONCACAF quality so bad man.

    Well ****, why is Ferrera on the pitch he is not close to good enough and passes it backwards most of the time, got to be courageous and dangerous in front of goal.

    That being said, these are SIMPLE goals that the Dutch scored, just easy cut backs.....our HM should be there, not sure where Adams was but usually that is who cleans up the pass back in the box.

    Either way, it was a good run, no way we come back from this.
