The Four Year Review: America's Quest for the Cup

United States vs Holland
Friendly 
​4-3
In Holland

The Four Year Review is rumbling on! The US defeats Holland, in the Netherlands, by a score of 4-3, in the closing moments of the game. A great comeback for the US team, making nice touch passes "behind the defense" in the attacking third. Holland seemed surprised they had to play defense. For much of the game, Holland was in control, possessing the ball with great Dutch precision and awareness, led in the middle by number six, Clasie, as the US watched on, gaining momentum here and there. With the score at 3-1, in Holland's favor, they took their foot off the accelerator, allowing the US to climb back on board for a tremendous comeback. At 3-1 the Dutch simply went to sleep. Their defense became sloppy, and things fell right into the American's hands. This was the first victory for the US over Holland, ever.
