Belgium have been well on top so far
They showed up on the field, that’s for sure!
US is being outclassed.
Time for the Seattle 12th Man to come alive to spur on the team…
Seems like their strategy is to “flop” every moment?
Back to not caring about Soccer for 4 years, even though most don’t care now, if we don’t rally.
Noticed there was one US player not singing the anthem.
GAME ON!
First game they have worn their Transgender Awareness tie dye uniforms.
Should have been a goal for Belgium there.
Belgium is giving a clinic so far.
We’re playing like we want to lose...
Belgium is very aggressive in its defense. US players are just kinda standing around.
They need to get Dest out of there, he’s a disaster.
Face facts, we were very lucky that Turkey lost their first two games. We would have had a much tougher opponent than Bosnia in the Round of 32.
Belgium will give Spain a game. Wasn’t very impressed with Spain today.
The grass is dying beneath their cleats.
Going to have to dig deep for the next 45. Need a better job clearing the ball.
As the Brits say, The US defense is “sixes and sevens”.
