      I am so sorry USA.  That was perhaps one of the best games of soccer (sic) that I have seen for a long time…....

          Best World Cup game so far, unbelievable spirit.

          Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

              Great game. That Bradley to Green goal had me waking up the neighborhood. For me, Lukaku, Yedlin and Green off the bench all stood out.

                What a fighting spirit by the US guys, they just wouldn't give in. But congrats to Belgium for a well played out victory.
                It's gonna be seven more close games until someone gets the cup!

                        Man that was close. In reality Belgium was the better team. I thought they should have out it away a few times during the first 90. In reality we had one solid chance on the same timeframe. I was unexpectedly surprised by how well the US did during the WC this year. It was great that nearly half of my office was in the break room to watch the entire match. Great job Belguim and I'll support you if you can get part Argentina.

                          Assuming US interest in football can rise steadily (which to me depends upon the growth of MLS), I think we're at least a generation from challenging to win a Cup. My fear is that we will now tune out for four years as a nation as has been the pattern. In some cases, even going into defense mode ("soccer's for pussies anyway").

                          But I love the progress and the young guys on the team and wouldn't be shocked by a 1/4 finals appearance in four years. I really enjoyed how the team turned from a conservative and timid "possession" team incapable of possessing into a fearless, recklessly attacking team.

                          Think it, be it.

                            Here's a quick cellphone pic I took at today's Argentina v Switzerland game.  Gutted for the Swiss really.

                            Props to the US team for their performance at this World Cup.  If England showed even 50% of the heart and drive that the US team showed, we wouldn't inflict this slight variant of the same misery on our fans at every tournament.

                                  The US is hosting an extended centenary Copa America in 2016 I believe so that should be a short-term target for them and help retain the focus and momentum for the next edition of the "greatest show on earth" in 4 years time.

                                    Wow Babyknight, jealous! How is the Arena Corinthians? The late header against the post from the Swiss was so unlucky and the way this WC has been going you wouldn't have been surprised if they'd have equalised.

                                    Most of the 'big' teams showing that (annoying/admirable) habit of getting the result even when they've not played very well.

                                        The US forced the Belgians to bring their A game.

                                        I'm also pretty proud of the level of fairness and courtesy diplayed by both teams towards eachother (giveth or taketh a couple of incidents)…

                                            Hopefully the U.S. teams efforts will have long reaching
                                            positive results in America.

                                            Colombia I reckon can knock out Brasil . Will be a great match.
