Belgium chokes again.

Yup...total underperformance again. Living proof collection of talent means little. Hazard is past his prime, Lukaku has always disappointed for club and country, I expected more from Batshuayi. This was their best shot...they won't have this much talent on a club in their prime for a while.
Portugal is my dark horse...and Ronaldo isn't even their best player. If they only had a better keeper...
I was thinking the same thing about Germany's keeper yesterday. He looked like a giraffe trying to make some saves, like he was a U10 out there.
This WC has been fun to see new teams break through on the biggest stage in the world.
I keep hearing the U.S. has no shot against the Netherlands....
Hmmm.....interesting
You're listening to the wrong people @Boris USMNT has a good shot.
If both play their best game the Dutch Ovens win. If USA plays well and Dutchies play mediocre then USA can win. USA needs to figure out a way to score goals...which given the Dutch have the top CB in the world in Virgil van Dijk will be a challenge. But it can happen...look at Japan and Spain.
Find a woman who loves you as much as Ghana loves missing World Cup PK’s against Uruguay.🙄
Oh I get it....They're young so they don't know they're not supposed to win.

They have some talent though, and the Dutch have been disappointing since their glory years in the 70’s.
My British friend told me this is the best USMNT he's ever seen from a fundamentals standpoint. While we lack the athleticism of most top nations, we have closed the gap on how well we play.
That is real progress.
That said, I'm not expecting we win. But hopeful.
Ghana’s defense is too bad they are definitely not advancing. Too bad. Kudus is so much fun to watch.
Soccer is amazing when you have 2 teams going at each other who need to score. The Ghana Uruguay game is wide open.
That picture will be gold in Africa. The whole continent hates Luis Suarez. Me? I just love Son.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer cannibal.
I really have no interest in fussball, don't understand the intricacies of the game, but I enjoy reading all the comments.
Finally an excuse to drink at 8:30 in the am
U S A

I barely got up on time for coffee.
USA! Win one for DJ!
Ok, ok, I absolutely love our national anthem. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
So does Brittney Griner…now.
Shite.
Maybe Reyna has been saved for this moment.
Dest causing all kinds of trouble for the Netherlands, but the final ball is lacking
Piss poor defensive selection, piss poor formation.
Chances, chances.
The Dutch converted.
Lol....watching just before game starts and everyone picking U.S.
I told Wifey.....2-1 Ned's
....and here we are at half 😆
This is like watching a Joe Barry defense in the playoffs…you and everyone else know what’s coming…except the guy who hired him.
@Goldie posted:Would like one goal. 🤞🏻
We already have one this week
It's sad that all week long playing such good defense only to do this in KO round
Wonder how long the charade of keeping Berhalter will drag on…pusscake won’t resign.
