Like I said, we got really lucky to be in the Group we were in , with Turkey losing those first two games.

Beating Australia, Paraguay and Bosnia, is not a great accomplishment.

The USMNT are a bunch of minor leaguers… God bless them, but they are perpetually out of their depth

We're getting better though.

“ We’re getting better though.”

At losing. We are out of our depth against real teams.

Soccer is a sport here that the sporting public could care the less about.

Football is a religion in countries like Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, France, England, etc.

It looks like the US strategy was to just stand around for 80 minutes and then try really hard for the last 10.

They should have given that some more thought.

And no way that was gonna happen if Saban was the coach.

It was over when they gave up the first goal early. Totally blew up the game plan.

I’ve actually watched more of this world cup instead of the kneelers over the last 2 years. I haven’t seen one NFL game, regular or post season since 2023 season.

Belgium is playing like the USA has a red card hanging over them, and the USA is playing like they have a red card hanging over them.

Score says 3-1 at 90 minutes. So it’s over. Team is done now, out?
