16 min: Dahlkemper plays a long ball, but van Veenendaal collects.
And the Dutch have officially made it past the 15-minute mark. No “score and park the bus” this early in the game.
14 min: The USA still look like they’re one pass away from unlocking the defense. O’Hara gives the ball back with an illegal throw-in, a rare lapse at this level, but the Dutch immediately give it back with a poor touch.
Another opinion on the yellow card to Spitse:
Good think Lavelle got her cleats out of the turf before that sweeping tackle came through. Yellow card well deserved. Hopefully it’s not a sign that they’re targeting our injured players. #FIFAWWC #USANED
