We are playing so slow it’s pathetic. Just attack them stop pondering with the ball.
Klaasen is tragic
Blind 
He needs to come off and not be seen again in a USA shirt.
Blind Just attack him
Just attack himThis is van Gaal’s ideal game state. The Americans haven’t got it to break down a 5 man defence and Netherlands can hold the ball until we all fall asleep
Blind's legs absolutely shot, a proper team will take full advantage of that. You would think Malacia is the better option at this point.
We wish. They seemingly bored death to death and we will have to live through this.
Zimmerman is one of those players that it looks like they play in slow motion
Close.
Yup. He is their glaring weak spot.Blind
Finally a shot from Weah. Good strike too.
Great strike that.
Blind is like an oil tanker. Not sure if there’s a slower full back in football.
That lack of quality thread is what this game is made for. Plenty of good energetic players but the amount of basic technical errors from both teams is mad.
Blind has looked knackered since the 3rd minute
Bloody hell, that was struck.
Imagine if this Holland team wins the whole thing
Weah summed up on one phase of play. A fantastic shot saved, gathers the rebound, and plays a shit pass to the Dutch.
no reason for Jesus defensively to drop into the midfield....he should be pressing Virgil and let Pulisic press Timber....Mckennie shouldn't have to press a CB
fecking hell, I thought the Dutch were a progressive nation, this is as backwards as football can get.
28% possession
The US is playing The Dutch off the park. How shit are the Dutch?
The lack of tempo and accuracy from USA is just too much.
Holland are playing competently. Unfortunately, their game seems to be to slowly strangle the life out of the USA and the fun out of football. Van Gaal style alright. The Yanks need to up the ante by a lot.
There’s something about him that I find morbidly entertaining. I think it’s his determination to force in his banter and just ignores whether it works in the moment or not.
Like a prehistoric Alan Partridge.
Netherlands midfield is absolutely trash aside De Jong. De Roon and Klaassen are bad, surprised Gravenberch couldn't make the squad.
Ream and Zimmerman seem slower than a 35-year old Rio.
It would be great to have Cruijff's opinion.
You know what he thinks of LVG. But also he was a lot pragmatic than people think.
Great run from Dest but then a very weak shot.
Dest has been the best player on the pitch
Is Gakpo fast or the defender really slow?
Come on US, this is the time. Dutch look a bit jaded.
b/c he's slower than a snail
Spain V Holland would be suicide football.
Dutch will have no chance against Argentina if they play like this.
A right-back unwanted by his club you say...interesting...
The US striker wants to play like Benzema, just up top and occupy the CBs
