This is where tournament awareness and IQ show. The Dutch know it’s s marathon and are pacing. Actually have a more gears they’ve not engaged.

And we’re seeing USA didn’t have strong group. Is USA really much better than Canada? Not sure.

Anyways, 2nd round and on you see who really can play.

Nowhere close to 20 passes.
You wrong, it was 20 passes exactly:

At least US are attempting shots. Different approach from fist half.

Not impressed with Dest in this game. He needs to score to redeem himself with me😀

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Man, we’re out of ideas and laboring.

Dutch continue to manage the game with 2 more gears they haven’t engaged.

Gulf in class is clear by now.

Arsenal should consider Depay on loan. He's still got something about him that might be useful.

Wasted chances, allowed a slow Blind to stroll in and score, lethargic, not tracking well etc. doesn’t do it for me.

Oh brother.

He’s been aggressive, fast, attacking, and caused problems entire WC for the opposition. He can only do so much in this situation.

I hope he gets more time at Barcelona.
