World Cup
-
England putting the whammy on Mexico. Quieted the crowd.
-
Wow! What a game that was! Easier to root against than for arch rival Mexico, I guess.
But having more CONCACAF teams in the mix would have been a good thing.
If you didn’t catch it, watch it. Crazy.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk It was an action packed game, very entertaining. MX had never lost a game in this stadium,

President Trump to the rescue, Flo is back....
I am not sure how to feel about this one.
There is nothing wrong in change, if it is in the right direction. To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often. Winston Churchill

This taints anything the US accomplishes tonight. Irony is Balogun is a birthright citizen.
-
Yeah. Whether we win or lose this is a bad look.
-
@AsadZ Trump had nothing to with Balogun's red card being suspended. The process had already begun and it's really done is expose FIFA for not having a legitimate process to appeal red cards during the World Cup that they allow for pretty much other tournament they sanction.
-
All the good will we earned from around the world these last 2 weeks was wiped out by this atrocious turnaround. The world hates us now more than ever and only us in the United States will be rooting for us. Just sickens me.
-
@RockChalkinTexas-0 Actually, I'm still rooting for Cape Verde. I will be sending a note to Trump suggesting he get FIFA to make CV a wild card advancer.
-
Ugh. We may lose by 50 goals.
Not pretty so far. US guys running into each other. Giving the ball away. Not defending. Double ugh.Turn it around, boys!
-
We have not looked sharp at all.
-
No, we have not. Sadly they aren’t giving us much hope. They looked overmatched by a lot.
But, only down 1 goal. I was surprised we came out in the 3-5-2. That worked against Paraguay when we knew they were gonna bunker down and not attack. Not so much so far vs Belgium.
-
Junior high mistakes on defense cost us two goals. Belgium did have a nice finish on the 2nd goal but he ran right by our defender ignored goal side defensive principles and it cost us.
-
That was an embarrassing goal to give up by the GK.
-
US seemed unprepared for this game
We came out very tentative, slow and made many costly mistakes.
It could be the whole red card fiasco.
-
And yet another juvenile mistake. Belgium has won 24 world cup matches and lost 11 and 18 draws. We've got a 12-8-21 record. The experience at a level like this is showing.
-
We are being outplayed. They hustled and took the ball away from us so many times. Lazy passes.
-
yea, that was ugly.
Played like high school kids up against Argentina. Something wasn't right. They played scared and tentative. Basic errors as @wissox83 said.
Player ratings are gonna be ugly.
Generally an embarrassment today. sigh.
-
Oh, and way to go, Trump. A little motivation goes a long way
After the final whistle blew, Belgium soccer's official X account published a post with an image of their players celebrating alongside a two-word caption: "Overturn this."
