Getting out of the group of death and making things difficult for Belgium is though.


We only got out because Germany went ham on Portugal in the first game. Tim Howard is playing out of his mind, if it wasn't for him this game wouldn't appear as close as it does, just Look at our total shots vs Belgium's... We're lacking pretty badly.


You can poo poo the US if you want, but our run made put countries like Spain, England and several others to shame.

Are we a great team? Of course not. But at least give them the credit they deserve. They sure as f**k earned it.
Our midfielders are dog shite though.


This. And Gedion Zelalem should help to alleviate those problems in the 2022 World Cup.


You should think about renaming into "United States of Germanica" in football ? :P ;)
Zelalem was born in Berlin (Germany), his parents are both from Ethiopia how the f**k could he play for the USA ?
What's next Messi junior plays for Qatar in 2022 :dizzy:


Because he grew up in the US and is a US citizen.


Why is he playing in our youth teams ? :shout:


Would hardly be the first time in the world that a player plays for one nation in youth and another later.


Indeed but the amount of players moving from the German football association to among others Turkey and USA is too damn high :lipssealed:


USA (aka Germany B)


Why didn't you tell me that in the first place? :P

Honestly, they were lucky to still be in it that late. Belgium had 30+ shots.

It was a fair result in the end. Certainly not unlucky for the US.


That was more good defending though Howard, Bederlin? (RB) pretty much the whole back four were heroes.

While USA had two open goal chances at the end, granted one was "offside".

Maybe, but they didn't have that many GREAT chances the whole game minus Kompanys. You had at least 2 or 3 after 90 minutes but overall the better team did win.

We've got a 2 day break now :crybaby:

Don't feel so bad. We lost Neven Subotic and Giuseppe Rossi (even if he is a crock) to Serbia and Italy. Subotic in this defense would've been wonderful...

Beasley.

Did they whistle the one we fluffed at the 89' mark? Horrible call if so, he was well on.

That was fun! Two teams on a strong upward path.

This US team really won me over and the Belgian team now looks like the team we were promised before the World Cup.

Game of the tournament?

Respect to both teams. Belgiums best performance by a mile but the Americans...wow. Our English pansies should watch them, the desire energy, never give up.

Shame they're going home

Mean't Yederlin, the young guy, Beasley's been very good as well.

I just don't like that nation hopping after you received the whole training (at the latest from U18+ teams) from one football association it's kind of ungrateful to the nation who make it possible that you become such a good player also you most likely "stole" another talent from this country "his" place maybe some countries missed some great players (late developers) who never or barely participate in their youth teams cause of such a behaviour.
