⚽️ that was some wicked fun rascally-wild #NED goal
(edited to add: Netherlands did a “slow-roller” to get around the wall on a setpiece and scored in the last minute of stoppage time to tie the game and take it to overtime)
(edited to add: Croatia’s goalkeeper made three penalty kick saves, which is almost unheard of. After defeating Japan, in their next game, he again made saves to help them defeat Brazil.)
⚽️ the more I reflect on #USMNT vs #NED, the more I think we were outcoached more than outplayed. This bodes well (especially if we can find a strong finishing central striker) for 2026.
⚽️ Congrats #NED 🇳🇱 🍊 I’ll be rooting for you the rest of the way.
The #USMNT still struggled with finishing, and you let them wear themselves out on that and struck with precision with every opportunity when we weren’t marking. Well done.
