After the 3-1 win in the round of 16, his team manager Louis van Gaal was asked if he was proud of Dumfries, who had set up two goals and scored one. “I’ll show you,” replied the 71-year-old, kissing his defender.
Left-back Daley Blind also contributed a goal and an assist. “I’m extremely proud of my full-backs,” said van Gaal. Still unkissed, Dumfries told how he got his first name. “I was named after Denzel Washington and I’m very proud of it. Denzel Washington is a very strong personality,” said the 26-year-old, who is at Inter Milan. In the quarter-finals he should continue his performance: On Friday the Netherlands will meet Argentina.

The USA are leaving proud despite the elimination. “We’ve shown we can compete with some of the best teams and some of the best players in the world,” said Tyler Adams. “This is a huge step forward for US soccer.” Time speaks for the youngest team in the tournament. In 2026, the USA will host the World Cup together with Canada and Mexico. “You guys made us proud,” said US President Joe Biden. “To a bright future and 2026 here at home.”
