FLASHBACK: The USA STUNNED Holland in a seven-goal thriller the last time the two sides met... seven years on, there are plenty of lessons they can take from that match to repeat the upset in do-or-die World Cup clash

The last time the USA and Holland faced off, Robin van Persie had just finished his third and final season with Manchester United, and a 22-year-old John Brooks was viewed as the future at center back for the Stars and Stripes.

DeAndre Yedlin is one of just two current USA players who played vs. Holland in 2015
