The U.S. Falls To The Netherlands
At The World Cup
By Tirany Reeves

Christian Pulisic
Haji Wright
The United States
men’s soccer team lost to the
Netherlands 3-1 at the World
Cup knockout stage in Qatar
on Saturday, December 3rd.
The U.S. was eliminated in
the first knockout round, just
as they were most recently in
2014. The team has reached
this Round-of-16 milestone
7 times before but has not
advanced past this stage to
the quarterfinals since the
2002 tournament.
The team was
hopeful with Christian Pu-
lisic’s - nicknamed “Captain
America” for his team lead
er role - return to the held
on Saturday after a serious
pelvic injury while scoring
the winning goal against
Iran last Tuesday. He col
lided with the goalkeeper as
he was scoring in that game
and had to go to the hospital.
However, the U.S.
team could not score in the
first half. The Netherlands
scored twice in that time,
with the second happening
with only seconds left on the
clock. The U.S. did manage
to score at the 76-minute
mark with a goal by Haji
Wright that was assisted by
Pulisic. The Netherlands
happened to net their third
goal a few minutes later and
won the game.
