Their coach is Dutch. Maybe they're trying to make him feel a bit more at
home?

They're back already.

Games end in ties. Big deal. It happens. From now on, they'll go to
overtime, then penalties (ugh).
Football != hockey. In football, you don't get to change the entire team
every five minutes.

Football is a British sport. The Brits are good at inventing sports that the
rest of the world beats them at. ;-)
And the US will have a long way to go until they are on par with the
European teams... Has the beating at the hands of the Dutch team, which
didn't even qualify for the World Cup, been forgotten already?
