| Well, that was really enjoyable. Seven goals, much to admire – and a fantastic comeback from USA. Two debut goals from Bobby Wood and Danny Williams – the latter might go down as a Luuk de Jong own goal – and the USA deserved their victory for their tenacity and commitment, and no little skill. Holland? Well, basically, they’re rubbish. | Well, that was really enjoyable. Seven goals, much to admire – and a fantastic comeback from USA.

| It was an unbelievable game, a great effort from the team. I was lucky that my shot deflected, but I have to complement my team. Everyone gave their all, and it’s a fantastic feeling to win against Holland in Amsterdam. | It was an unbelievable game, a great effort from the team.

| Jon Champion calls this a “landmark victory” for USA. Bobby Wood, who had a miserable year for Erzgebirge Aue in Germany, scored his first international goal right at the death as Holland capitulated. Holland won’t qualify for Euro 2016 like this: they look good in attack, but their defending and goalkeeping is abject. | Jon Champion calls this a “landmark victory” for USA.

His cross deflects off Brooks and is slightly behind de Jong, who gets his legs in a tangle and tries to backheel it over the line – but it hits the post! A comedy of errors, but Fabian Johnson did well to recover. | 83 min: And he nearly does! A fabulous straight pass pierces the USA defence and finds Blind clear on the left.
