'Very professional'

Jurgen Klinsmann

Former Germany head coach on BBC One

It was a very professional performance from the Dutch team. They took the wind out of the sails of the US team. The US started well but the first goal settled things down.

I'm a bit sad for the US but I think you see a young team that will only get better.

'Netherlands in control'

Alex Scott

Former England and Arsenal defender on BBC One

The Netherlands were technically better than the US. They were in control both in and out of possession. And at a tempo that they didn't really exert themselves.

Subdued celebrations from Louis van Gaal at full-time. Well, they weren't even celebrations, just a few handshakes.

He did tell that journalist he would be in the final so this is very much "job done" at this stage.

There are USA players in tears on the pitch.

Here is the goal that finally extinguished the USA flame at this tournament. Decent finish from the highly-impressive Dumfries.

FULL-TIME

Ruthlessly efficient from the Netherlands, who march on into the last eight.

The USA bow out with head held high. Next time they play at a World Cup finals, they'll be co-hosting the thing.

Into the final minute. Sixty seconds for the USA to try and enjoy at Qatar 2022.

Two of the added six minutes remain.

'Good future ahead for the US team'

Dion Dublin

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

USA have had a good World Cup, they've looked good. There's a lot of youth in that side and they will be looking towards the future.

'Formation suits Ake'

Martin Keown

Former England defender on BBC One

Nathan Ake has been very good. I think his skillset suits playing the left side of a back three. He's looked very comfortable.

SUBSTITUTION

The Dutch eat into time by sending on Matthijs de Ligt and Wout Weghorst for Nathan Ake and Cody Gakpo, whose scoring run comes to an end.

He's going to get at least one more chance, though.

SUBSTITUTION

A final change for the USA. Jordan Morris is on for Antonee Robinson.

We'll have six added minutes. Surely not enough for the USA to do anything remarkable.

The USA again try to burrow their way through the masses around the edge of the box. Yunus Musah's shot is blocked.

'Difficult opponent'

Martin Keown

Former England defender on BBC One

The Dutch will make for a difficult opponent as they travel through this competition.

The Dutch are packing the area around their own box. None shall pass.

YELLOW CARD

A cynical challenge to bring down Brenden Aaronson as he sought to break brings a yellow card for Frenkie de Jong.

'USA leaving themselves open'

Dion Dublin

Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

You go chasing the game and leave yourselves open at the back. The Netherlands have a lot of pace up front.

Get Involved

Peter Humfrey: Lacking in discipline at the back. Dumfries had a whole postcode to himself there. This USA side needs steel at the back and a finisher up top. Talented but not the finished product.

Bob Moss: USA just cannot defend, I think I could have scored that.

Damian Fogarty: Groan - a young USA team conceding with school boy defending for the Dutch third goal.

Nice try!

Tim Ream wins the header from the corner and Walker Zimmermann goes for the overhead kick but sends the ball wide.

Into the final five minutes. Sadly, we won't be getting the grandstrand finish we hoped for. Or maybe we will? The USA have a corner...
