NO WAY?!?
HUGE mistake of the US goalie for the second Belguim goal for 1 : 2. The goalie should've been placed better and should've caugth that ball midair.

It happens. He's not Tim Howard...

I'm not holding my breath for a US victory one way or the other, as you climb up the cull becomes more and more merciless. Any step further would be pure bonus one way or the other. I'm more sad about not being able to see a Norway - England finale, as those two were the ones who shouldn't have met at this step.

I'm not putting that all on the goalie, but yeah we are really sloppy and playing scared.

I will miss the July 11 game. It will be good, does not need to be a final!

The ball was close enough to catch it right after the corner and not give the chance the attacker to play with it. That what good golies usually do.
A golie jumping for the ball with his hands is always taller than an offensive player trying to hit it with his head. Also, if the opposite player hit or push in any way the goalie (even a little) is always fault for the goalie's team.

Sadly, the US goalie ruined the game with two fatal mistakes.

The third goal is 100% goalie screw up. what he was doing!?

Suddenly the USA team woke up and knew they were USA

Things are just falling in their natural place.

Tillman plays great today.

Lots of mistakes, but that doesn’t make Belgium a bad team. They are playing like it’s sudden death.

 

[goblin]

It's just that this team needs Tim Howard, and Tim Howard needed this team. A mismatch of about 15 years.

Belgium is nothing to write home about so far, compared to what we saw yesterday. Neither was Spain BTW. It's simply that we are not better. If you're not better AND you make stupid mistakes, you have the game we're looking at.

Speaking of stupid mistakes - That's all she wrote

Not that the US team is that great but this is straight up embarrassing

 

[B6_Dolphin]

Yeesh... 4-1 whipping by Belgium.

 

[Pablo]

We didn’t play to win from minute one.

Sorry bro

 

[GSCJR]

WOW! I wasn't gone that long was I? All the chatter!

Anyways, an abysmal performance by the USA.

 

[Legs4Arms]

Man they're getting chewed up by the commentators

...Anyways, an abysmal performance by the USA.

How dare you, Sir, we beat the Brazilians twofold in goals conceded !!!

 

[GSCJR]

Say what?

 

[Snagglefoot]

The Karma Gods have spoken.

Not much for sarcasm are you
Now let me edit my post above as it indeed makes little sense. Done.
