They had another sub? Fuck me.

 

[JulesMaximus]

WOOT!

 

[KentState]

What sucks is we have to wait for 4 years to see this level of competition again.

[KeithTalent]

Nice. Free kick in a dangerous spot.

KT

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

Man, they look like a totally different team now. Still have to worry about Lukaku on the counter though; another really good chance for him.

KT

they do. they are playing with confidence now. they're finally playing soccer

 

[KeithTalent]

Holy freaking crap! That was so damn close!!!

KT

 

[Miramonti]

OMFG

 

[Gooberlx2]

OMFG!!!

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

brutal

 

[KeithTalent]

Just an awesome free kick they did there. So close to a goal.

KT

 

[Ns1]

So close but so far.

 

[KeithTalent]

They are getting so many good balls in the box. Very impressive.

KT

 

[KeithTalent]

Ugh, only one minute? WTF, they have been burning clock like crazy.

KT

 

[TheVrolok]

Dude's 19.. jeez.

 

[smackababy]

One minute? Conspiracy...

 

[Gooberlx2]

Fuck.....well fought at the end.

 

[KeithTalent]

A damn shame. Ah well the US had a pretty damn solid tournament and were super close here too. No need to hang your heads.

KT

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Bummer. Although given that the US wasn't expected to make it out of group play, not a bad result. Belgium was vastly superior throughout that game; well-earned win.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Very impressive reaction by USA after 2-0 when everyone expected them to just give up, but yeah, the win went to the better team

I was shaking in my seat watching those last 15 minutes, holy crap, and I dont even "care" about either team... What a game, easily one of the best football games Ive ever watched

If the average american watches this and still thinks football is boring, they are hopeless

 

[TheVrolok]

A damn shame. Ah well the US had a pretty damn solid tournament and were super close here too. No need to hang your heads.

I think it's pretty impressive actually, considering soccer is not even a major sport in the US and it is the major sport in most other competing countries. Would be nice to see it become more popular here.

 

[smackababy]

So, it is pretty clear Belgium paid Fifa and the refs in waffles for that 1 minute bullshit. Had the US failed to attack like the in normal time, I'd be okay. But, they were clearly continuing to attack and get shots.

 

[Aharami]

The US started trying a little too late

 

[iCyborg]

US was getting some of the Belgium medicine at the end: chance after chance not getting in.

I was surprised Lukaku wasn't starting, he started every game so far. He hadn't scored, so maybe that's why. Granted, he was fresh compared to most other players...

As I said yesterday, Belgium vs Argentina will be interesting, it would be no surprise to see Argentina out.

 

[Jodell88]

Greece v2 goes home.
