Gregg Berhalter bemoans lack of world-class striker as USA exit World Cup

• USA coach says Netherlands took their chances against US
• Berhalter will not be drawn on long-term future

Gregg Berhalter bemoaned his team's lack of a world-class finisher as the United States were knocked out of the World Cup by the Netherlands on Saturday.

The US failed to finishing off promising attacks in all four of their games at the World Cup, and many have pointed to the team's lack of a clinical striker as the reason they failed to progress. Jesus Ferreira, Haji Wright and Josh Sargent led the line at different times for the US in Qatar but none of them posed any real threat to opposing defenders.
