    Need to start the 2030 thread unless there are some 17-18 strikers that know what to do with the ball around the box.

      I think they could score 4+ if they tried. They are just sitting back and have 2 goals.

      This Netherlands team is not great, they are just a good team but it’s not like we’re playing France.

      They have 2 goals from 2 shots on target and have been making mistakes all game, the issue is that we aren’t capitalizing on them.

        Just giving the ball away for fun. The Dutch don’t even have to try. Just stand there in a shape and counter.

          As a casual fan even I can see that we are just dreadful in the attacking third.

          We don't have the best ball skills so I don't know why they try to attack in such a precise way. Its like we are trying to make precision passes in the box to get walk-in goals but we lack the skills to do that. Best thing I saw was Weah sending it from the edge of the box.

          A related but not identical problem is the amount of tactical mistakes. Multiple times just in this half we've seen crosses and headers to no one. Passer would probably say he expected a teammate to be there which may be true, but a more accurate explanation is probably a hint of panic.

          Lack of precision is the biggest thing. Too many times we've had a promising attack get killed because a pass was just a little to far ahead or behind, and there are too many heavy touches in the final third (Robinson in particular). We don't have the precise technical skills to play a precise technical attack yet still we continue with just that

            This team cannot take advantage in the box…twice they have had opportunities gift wrapped and twice they have flubbed it.

              How do you go in so weak kn that? You are a defender and you weakly put your foot up half way? Go strong and attack it.

                I think McKennie has shot the ball over the net every time he’s tried a shot in this tournament

                  Its more of the same though, the thru ball was too strong and forced Reyna out wide to collect it which gave the Dutch time to form up in the box.

                  We are so tenacious and good at winning possession that this lack of precision doesn't kill us against lesser teams, but we can't equal a top tier club

                      I think if I respond to every “we just don’t have the ball skills” and “trying to play too technical” type comments I’ll end up having an aneurysm

                            It's like they are trying not to score
