The Netherlands defeated the U.S. soccer team 3-1 on Saturday, with fans taking to Twitter to express their frustration—and optimism for the team’s future.
Following the Netherlands vs. United States World Cup match, which resulted the U.S. team’s elimination from the global soccer tournament, fans took to social media to express anger and sadness over the team’s defeat.
The Netherlands defeated the U.S. 3-1 during the high-stakes match on Saturday, knocking the U.S. team out of the tournament completely while the Dutch team advanced to the quarterfinals. The U.S. team has not reached the quarterfinals since 2002.
The defeat means the U.S. failed to advance past the round of 16, as they did in the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments. Despite the loss, U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said the team made «some progress,» according to the Associated Press.
«When people look at our team, they see a clear identity. They see guys that go out and fight for each other. They see the talent on the field. We made progress, but on this particular night we came up short,» he said.
