Finally, everyone can stop talking like they care about soccer. USA had an easy draw and folded the first time they play a team with a pulse. 
 

it’s college football time. 

It always was.

Belgium whipped the US the ENTIRE night.

[Blake Munroe]

That was a beat down.

Offense like Texas against Georgia during the CWS 🤢

[THookem]

Get some athletes in this sport for US.  No more pansies.  

[HonkEm]

That was fun to watch

[Jordan91]

They literally have one player. And I don’t think they have had anybody at that spot in three decades. There’s losing and then embarrassing. That goalie was embarrassing. WTF!

[Bootleghorn]

[Cajunhorn]

2 shots on goal in 95 minutes. Ghey sport. 

[SuperDave0805]

Massive choke job 

[4thandFive]

The US looked flat and nervous almost the whole game. Pulisic simply did not show up. They were hesitant, sloppy, terrible defensively, and had no pressure.

 

Belgium spanked em.

[Lock n Horns]

Now I know what it feels like to be a Tech football fan. Deluded into thinking we were good based upon inferior opponents then being a no show when it counted

Pulisic has always been overrated...the european teams know to be physical with him.  He should only be brought in the second half - he does nothing defensively and they attacked his side all night.  That was Belgium's plan and we are likely done unfortunately

He has been a stud for AC Milan.

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about soccer.

For those who are *itching about the U.S.  I would like to remind you that Brazil, Germany and the Netherlands have been sent home as well.  
   Today was disappointing but the U.S. is improving.

Stud?

8 goals in 30 matches - not very studly....Haavland averages over a goal per match in the World Cup

11 turnovers in 45 minutes - that shut down our attack!!

Pulisic is dreadful on defense and Malik Tillman has replaced him on set pieces (thank god).

[AusMOJO]

Ronaldo's last chance to win a World Cup and they got knocked out. Dude has won literally everything of importance in the world of Football but that World Cup ha always eluded him. 

 

my prediction is Norway vs Spain in the finals (still a few matches to go between then). 

[Oldest Horn]

Those Euro and Latam teams have way more sophisticated development than North America. We have far more options for elite athletes anyway. 

[4thandFive]

I know they aren’t the same sport, but I’m afraid the US will most always fail in a World Cup because our best athletes play baseball, football, and basketball. 
 

I still wanted us to win more…they were better than last night’s game. But hesitant, unsure, undisciplined soccer doesn’t win.

I would love for Egypt to beat Argentina.  Likely not happening. 

[Califashorn75]

Holy Moly, Egypt 2 and Argentina 0 at the 59th minute! Oh no. They took away the goal. Offsides. Dang it.

took it away because of a foul they needed VAR to confirm from about 100 yards away. Robbery.
