Talking to reporters on Thursday ahead of the Netherlands’ quarter-final with Spain, Beerensteyn said she was delighted after the U.S. were sent home early.
“The first moment when I heard that they were out, I was just thinking, 'Yes! Bye!’” Beerensteyn said. “Because, I mean, from the start of this tournament they already had a really big mouth. They were talking already about the final and stuff.
“I was just thinking, 'you first have to show it on the pitch before you are talking'.”
“I am not being rude in that way,” Beerensteyn added. “I mean, I have still a lot of respect for them, but now they are out of the tournament. For them, it's a thing that they have to take with them in the future - don't start to talk about something that's far away. I hope that they will learn from that.”

You're not the only ones happy this dumpster fire lost... And it only takes one Toxic Teammate to poison a locker room... If you've played competitive sports, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's completely obvious who it was...
Even more impressive was how she poisoned an entire fanbase.... Seriously, its impressive. I'm sure we'll see the White Knight Lefty trolls rush in to protect her and call everyone woman haters. But it wasn't that long ago the Women's Team was the darling of the US. Those days seem long gone...
Carli Lloyd Says She ‘Hated’ Playing Last Several Years for USWNT

Carli Lloyd wrapped up her career for the U.S. women’s soccer team in 2021 ranking second all-time in career caps and third in career goals. Yet, at least in her later years, she was not enjoying her time with the team.
peaking as a guest on former teammate Hope Solo’s podcast, Lloyd detailed how much she “hated” playing on the team, particularly due to what she described as a poor locker room culture.
“Within our squad, the culture has changed. It was really tough and challenging to play these last several years. To be quite honest, I hated it,” Lloyd said. “It wasn’t fun going in, and it was only for love of the game for me. I wanted to win, and I wanted to help the team, but the culture within the team was the worst I had ever seen it.”
Lloyd played for the national team from 2005 to ’21, playing a central role in two Olympic gold medal-winning squads as well as two World Cup championship teams. She played in her final game for the USWNT in an international friendly in October, and after the game
gave a speech to the crowd in which she thanked her teammates, past and present, for all they’ve given her throughout her career.
In her interview with Solo, the former USWNT goalkeeper echoed many of Lloyd’s sentiments, saying that she too did not enjoy the “culture and politics” of playing for the national team. Neither delved into specifics during the nearly two-minute clip that Solo posted.
“Every time I left for camp, my husband hated to see me sad” Solo said. “I didn’t want to go to that culture of the camp. I didn’t want to go to the social aspect of camp ... I didn’t want to be around everybody and the culture of the team. It was really difficult.
“I don’t think people understand how difficult emotionally and mentally that is. It’s tough, I just wanted to be a professional athlete, I wanted to be cutthroat and I wanted to win,” Solo said. “But, you still have to play the political game
- NOTE - Actually you don't have to play the political game... It was all coming from one source
