Hiddink questions Netherlands' guts

The coach suggested some his players lacked desire after watching them throw away a two-goal lead in Friday's 4-3 defeat to USA.

Guus Hiddink questioned whether Netherlands has the stomach for a fight after watching the side lose 4-3 to the USA, having led 3-1 with 20 minutes remaining.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored twice, while Memphis Depay scored a fortuitous effort after Gyasi Zardes had pulled one back for the USA, before an incredible second half ensued.

The score line remained 3-1 until the 70th minute when John Brooks struck for the US, and Daniel Williams and Bobby Wood then both scored in the dying moments to complete an incredible comeback.
