The Dutch team has reached the semifinals in three of its last four World Cups, and tonight (tonight) took another step in the right direction when it beat the USA 1:3 on the way to a place of honor in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar.
The American dream was shelved: the Oranges outplayed the Americans in all phases of the game and knew how to use the tactical advantage to score goals in a 3-1 victory.
In the second half, the Americans managed to shrink from a Wright goal, but the outstanding Dumfries set the score.

In between, the American substitute Haji Wright only managed to shrink for the USA team.
