Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of Holland, aimed a subtle jab at the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden after the USA were knocked out of the World Cup.

Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, sent a goodwill message to the national team ahead of their all-important round of 16 tie against the Netherlands on Saturday.

Unfortunately for the revered American president, his message proved inconsequential as the Stars and Stripes crashed out of the Mundial on the back of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Holland.
