Beerensteyn says US were ‘already talking about the final’‘You first have to show it on the pitch before you’re talking’
Netherlands forward Lineth Beerensteyn pulled no punches about the absent United States squad at the Women’s World Cup on Thursday, saying the two-times reigning champions should have done their talking on the pitch.
The Dutch drew 1-1 with the US to finish ahead of them atop Group E. The Americans were then eliminated by Sweden in the last 16, the first time in history they had gone out before the tournament semi-finals.
