A rope a tree

The referee has done no favors for the U.S. in this game with a phantom PK call and most recently a phantom foul called on Beasley who challenged Heitinga but did not touch him despite the Dutch defender collapsing to the ground. Beasley would have been in on with just the keeper to beat.

Rafael Van der Vaart is on now for the Dutch, Nigel del Jong is off.
