Cup.
Early in the game, the Dutch team scored, and shortly before halftime, they had a two-goal lead. When the Americans scored in the 76th minute, cutting their lead to one, there was briefly cause for optimism. However, that was defeated by the Netherlands after Denzel Dumfries scored a few minutes later.
The Dutch won 3-1 after digging in and preventing the US from getting any closer.
For a young, talented Team USA that appeared to belong at this World Cup throughout the group stage, it's a difficult way to finish the competition.
