The United States crashed out of the World Cup on Saturday after suffering a 3-1 defeat against the Netherlands in the round of 16.
The Dutch displayed their firepower with two first-half goals, leaving the young US side an insurmountable mountain to climb. Despite halving the deficit in the second half, hopes of a US comeback were crushed as Denzel Dumfries struck Netherlands' third and sent Gregg Berhalter's side out of the tournament.
