What happened to our great red white and blue American flag uniforms?

Real conservatives don’t watch the NFL.

I knew Tim Ream would cost us a game somewhere down the line. This was it.

Chris Richards will more than likely be the next team captain, even with his egregious error that cost a goal.

The late, great John McKay….

We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking

When asked about his team’s execution….

I think it’s a good idea

When a coach says the team wasn’t up for the game....that’s on the coaching staff. Doesn’t matter the game.

Which is why we should have an actual American coach. Otherwise, he'll complain that the Americans are not as good as foreigners when it comes to playing soccer.

We could have had Jesse Marsch.

>It explains why they played as poorly as they did

What I saw was the US team playing the same as before, but not against Paraguay.

Their loss was in skill and thought.
The US team is at a level where they can touch and pass, touch and pass. The Belgian team can touch-pass in sequences, accurately, and their teammates know it and position accordingly.
The Belgians also knew well enough how the US team played to often position themselves right where a pass was going and intercept (we were predictable).

Good job US, better than expected, not as well as hoped, oh well. At least no further whining about Trump and the deferred red card.

I’ll be curious what the TV ratings will be for the rest of the tournament.

As long as Messi, Mbappe and Haaland are in it, I think they will still be a lot watching.

It’s like playing against New York Yankees in baseball or Dallas Cowboys in football. They were going to be motivated no matter what.

I guess I’ll watch the Norway team now. I come from the Scandinavian belt in the US and they’re the last team left with some cool original gimmick.
