The Americans who must be upbeat with traces of high blood pressure now got slammed before a fantastic crowd of 2,652 fans in the match officiated by Kim Yu-jeong of South Korea.
Koopmans scored in 32nd minute; Foederer made it two in the 55th minute while Auer further pushed America near the exit door via a neatly taken penalty at 62nd minute.
America who are sharing highest title holders of three tournament championship wins with Germany got a dwindling hope as they face defending Champions, Japan in the last group match on Wednesday and Netherlands may beat poor Ghanaians in the last group game to clinch the quarter final ticket of group D.
Japan leads with 6 points scoring 3 goals with a clean slate like Nigeria; Netherlands is second with 3 points scoring 3 goals and conceding one; USA also has 3 points scoring 3 goals but conceded 3 goals meaning they have no savings despite their global might but better than Ghana that has zero points, scored no goal and owed five goals deficit like most African economy.
