The Dutch stars were in party mode when they returned to their team hotel on Saturday night following their 3-1 World Cup round of 16 win over the United States.

The Dutch secured their place in the quarterfinals after goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries in Qatar.

And Depay led the carnival celebrations as they were welcomed to their base for the tournament, while the USMNT stars stayed behind to be comforted by their loved ones.
