as a guy that holds dual citizenship for both the us and ned i can tell you that this is some of the laziest passing i have ever seen from a dutch side in my life. they will absolutely brainfart a couple of times and serve it up on a tee.

Listen I'm FRUSTRATED :smith:

I just don't understand why we can't get a striker with any sense of killer instinct in the box, or why we didn't do jack poo poo on eleventy billion corner kicks this tournament.

Set pieces overall seemed pretty unproductive this tournament, for all teams. Although idk what the actual ratio/stats are for open play vs set pieces

Something like 1-2% of corners ever result in goals. More consistent delivery would have been helpful, but some people would have you believe that was our undoing rather than the Dutch having superior players and coaching.

Oh huh, I thought it was higher - probably a holdover from that mid 2000s - early 2010s period of international football where it felt like all teams were scared to score from open play and only wanted to win a set piece.
