FINAL – NETHERLANDS 3, USA 1

That's it for the @USMNT

Stick a fork in their #WorldCup2022 experience.

Rough moments in 3-1 loss to the Dutch. Biggest disappointment came in defensive lapses.

Still, the showed lots of fight and were so close but couldn't execute in their chances.

ON TO 2026!#USAvNED

The marking has been terrible the entire match!

USMNT persistence pays off with a wickedly wild wacky finish for the Haji Wright goal.

Just get the ball in the box — and now there's plenty of time to get the equalizer! #USAvNED

If you would have told me before the match USMNT would be outshooting the Dutch 8-5 (4-2 on target), early in the 2nd half I would have taken it.

But man, soccer can be a cruel game. #USAvNED

Dest just took the worst shot attempt in the history of the World Cup.

Sometimes he can ball all or nothing. #USAvNED
