Lineth Beerenstein She came out at a press conference to talk about the World Cup quarterfinal match against Spain, but was questioned about the elimination of the United States against Sweden in the penalty shootout. A surprising loss because the four-time champion had never given up before the semifinals. However, for the Dutch it was not such a surprise, as she understood that the American players came with too much pride and too many expectations.
“When I found out, my first thought was: good! Bye bye! Because from the beginning they have talked too much, they were a bit loudmouthed. From the beginning they were already talking about the final and things like that. And I thought ‘first you have to show your worth on the field before you speak«.
The United States began with a win over Vietnam (3-0), but then drew against the Netherlands (1-1), with whom they already had a pending score, as the Americans won the 2019 World Cup final.
“I don’t want to be rude. I have a lot of respect for them, but now they are out of the tournament. I think that for them it is something to learn for the future. Don’t start talking about something that is far away. You have to play before you talk. I hope they learn from this.”
