And so far she doesn't seem to have gotten infected with the "backzeez" that most US players are infected with. There's not an unnecessary backwards pass that any player on any US team won't make. How many times have I seen some stupid backwards passes go from the opponent's box right back to the US goalkeeper. My television is scared of me whenever I watch a US women's game. 😂

Very poor finishing. They either kicked it straight at the goalie or over the top of the net.

[@dakers2052]

Commentator made a great statement....your player pool cannot have several players with 100+ caps while the majority of the pool has 10 or less. That is the exact problem with the USMNT, failure to stock the pantry and using old, stale players. The USWNT, for the most part, has done it correctly and the results prove it. A tough loss this game for the Dutch, but continued improvement by women's teams around the globe will prove that the investment made by the original 10-15 women's teams of the late 80's and early 90's is paying off in spades for women's soccer all around.

[@Andelani_Ikwueme]

Naeher = Legend, & the Europe based players have really been struggling with the WNT, on the MNT we want all the players in Europe in the most competitive leagues.

[@kycone]

It was hers anyway. She’s the only reason they were in the game.

[@heinleinreader]

@kycone I agree, but the fact that she went out so much at the top of her game reminds me of Hope Solo's retirement cap. Not everyone gets to go out that way. Raping didn't figure in the scoring her final cap, yet that didn't prevent the team from giving her a game ball. The same was true of Carli Lloyd. As a matter of fact, only one player figured in the scoring her final cap. The Captain, Lady Hat Trick herself, Alex Morgan. She had only one goal, but she also had an assist on another one.

The US defense continues to look slow and gets beaten way too often. Also, there was a whole lot of sloppy passing and first touches in the midfield and defense. Offensively, they still seem to be taking advantage of good individual play. They don't seem cohesive. There aren't many situations where they build an attack, most of the goals are based on transition and outrunning the defense.

[@innolosalattachebrio]

Really?!?!

[@zacharyfeiles356]

... The U.S. has the best defense in the whole world are you on something? They got scored on once and all of a sudden you criticize them? Nighswonger just came back from an injury and hasn't played in a while so thats why they were looking so weak. Girma and Davidson are some of the best defenders in the world as well as sonnet coming in for Nighswonger. ALSO, their main 3 attackers arent even there, Swanson, Smith, and Rodman. Please please please know what You're talking about before you start with this bad team talk. Also "continues"? They are literally unbeaten since FEBRUARY. They are clearly the best team in the world.

[@Markph7]

Loved how the 🇳🇱 midfielders were bossing the game really until Yohanes came on at 68 min. Shrugging off 🇺🇸 “pay to play” products of the club circuit, hip checking them, tossing them to the ground. these were grown ass women playing against slow/small college girls in the midfield and it showed. USA is thin @ midfield after its starting players from Olympics. It’s something that needs developing. With the midfiled talent that 🇳🇱 has, you can see why 17 year old Yohanes chose the 🇺🇸. She will be in the starting rotation next year. Well, the euros are next year for the Dutch to improve. And for the United States . . . Lots of meaningless regional games against weak sides like El Salvador

What a great way for Naeher to go out! (I think the US purposely played badly in the first half, so she could look good with more saves. 😁) Ryan is a delight to watch. She, Williams & Thompson might become ‘Triple Espresso Part 2’!

Williams couldn't dribble and control to save her life. She got lucky Netherlands didn't capitalize their chances.

@ Granted, she’s not a Smith or Rodman when it comes to dribbling, but she didn’t get “lucky”. That Dutch defender couldn’t have been covering her any more closely. Williams still has strength & speed.

[@kycone]

These new players don’t have the trackback speed yet. And they either share the ball too much in the final third or not enough play-to-play. Missing obvious goal chances. Coffey needs to stop fouling every game.

[@Lt_Tim]

She's slow. She gets beat and then she fouls. Maybe they need someone who isn't slow.
