The Dutch went into the break 2-0 up after goals from Memphis Depay and Daley Blind, but the USA did finally pull one back after 76 minutes,
Haji Wright managed to spectacularly bundle one in for USA and ensure it was game on, which sparked wild celebrations across the nation. But just four minutes later their hopes were wiped out as Netherlands' Denzel Dumfries made it 3-1, and Lineker, has told new football fans "It's the hope that kills you."
