Mission is the same as ours but they seem much more organized.

Well I feel their mission is more personal but I’m not going to take this thread to the cave

That end of half corner signified the US half: whole bunch of nothing.

 

[Letterkenny]

We don't even look competitive with a mid-tier European team.

Really bad half from Pulisic.

You could be forgiven for not realizing he was on the pitch.

were they worse at passing or worse at receiving that half?

It's always been this way

Doubt Belgium cares a whole lot. They have supreme athletes. Even the coach was quoted not focusing on noise. These dudes are pros.

Wtf are Pulisic and Dest doing out there?

I think Pulisic is in the wrong position. I could be mistaken, but I feel like he was out wide against Paraguay. They’ve had Robinson out there since with Pulisic more in the middle. He looks lost to me.

Dest just hasn’t been good most of the tournament. He did hit Balogun with a good cross a game or two ago, but just turns it over too easily. He’s fast, but rarely does he actually do anything with that speed.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Not a good half at all. Fortunately, only down one, so they can get right back in it.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

US can't even keep possession. They need to get over these nerves and play more crisp and decisive.

 

[AlaCyclone]

I want Gio and Berhalter off the bench early in the 2nd half.

Pulisic giving the ball to Belgium.

 

[enisthemenace]

Zlatan agrees with me. Need to get Pulisic out wide.

 

[BryceC]

I feel like Tamin would have been an amazing soccer player. His Jedi power of knowing and going were the ball will be instead of where it is would be freaky.

Any PG I feel like would have been awesome at soccer. Lipsey, Hali, Iverson, etc etc

[Hoggins]

Same as it ever was, look outclassed by a European country in the round of 16.

 

[AppleCornCy]

Win or lose, I hope the fan interest this World Cup has generated helps us finally be able to commit to being good at soccer.

 

[HouClone]

Hope US with the comeback win and no Pepi please.

#8 team in the world, but mid tier…ok

People act like they suck. They haven’t lost in 17 matches.
