Their defence is massively their Achilles heel like. Immobile and unaware.

We were ill laughing in the England match when we heard them chanting "I believe that we will win", then heard our lot singing "what the f'ing hell was that"

He was stood all in his own for ages before the ball came to him. Terrible, especially when you've just got back into the game.
Didn't hear that. Sounds bad.

Stood still waving his arm for the cross unmarked by about a metre and no defenders aware at all

So a little bit of history on that chant - which, as an American, I agree is a complete steaming pile.We were ill laughing in the England match when we heard them chanting "I believe that we will win", then heard our lot singing "what the f'ing hell was that"
The original version isn't a chant, it's more of a song, it's in Spanish, and the words don't quite translate the same. It's one of the DC United songs and it's just a short round that's got a bit of a somber vibe and is sung when they're behind. The words translate not to "we believe we will win" but "we must win." It slowly morphed to the words being in English and then all of a sudden in the middle of the last decade the melody was gone and the national team cheering sections were bellowing it from ten minutes before kickoff. It was weird.

There's all kinds of IT kit inside that ball. I reckon some Fifa playing kid hacked it and made it go in an impossible direction.Watched the replay and still can’t work out how that went in

I’d have said that game was won on a poor defensive performance and bad decisions in the final third by the USA not Dutch dominance personally.
A total wankfest going on.

Over the top and a bit pathetic, however she is a terrible pundit mind and loves the sound of her own voice. For balance, Ashley Williams is utter shite as well.

Agreed. In fact they had two or three individuals who were far better than the best Dutch players. Regardless of their defensive frailties they failed miserably in the final third.

I would have been fewmin to have conceded a goal like that when I played in an over thirties duffers’ Sunday league team. For these pros, all full of vim and vigour, to make such an elementary mistake is laughable.
