Bambi on ice springs to mind

Hey guys, I was just feeding the dog. What did I miss? /s

US have to keep at this. A goal would change the mood completely.

Belgium counterattack because Adams can’t complete an extremely simple 10 yard pass.

I’ve never seen the US fail at completely rudimentary skills. Not even in the early 2000s when they were starting Pablo Mastroeni and Eddie Lewis.

Doku and Lukaku coming on, both of which would comfortably be the best US players of all time.

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of “Zeiglers wunderbare Welt des Fußballs”, but it’s probably the best TV show in the world about the sport, and they vote for the “Kacktor des Monats”, the “Crap goal of the month”, every month, with contributions from the CL to the deepest depths of German amateur leagues. This goal definitely is a strong contender for the crap goal of the month July.

Hydration break. Last chance to huddle up.

True. Although the starting Belgium 11 all pretty much play for middling European league teams (aside from Trossard and Courtois), which gave me some hope. And I recognize that middling European teams in the top 4 leagues is still several levels above MLS.

I’ll check it out! It looks to be streaming with about a month’s delay in the ARD media center. Thanks!

Pepi in for Adams. My prediction: US will either tie it up or lose 5-1.

The US starting lineup overwhelming play for decent clubs, not MLS.

Literally the only good combination the entire game for the US ends with a Berhalter shot just wide.

Vancouver Whitecap Seb Berhalter just misses from outside of the box.

Another decent attack from the US.

Yep, I meant it more to say that to not offend fans of Villa, Fulham, etc.

I don’t think it’s going to bite them, but the US outplaying Belgium for the last ~10 minutes.

Well, this has sucked overall.

Axel Witsel looking good for his age.

Nobody even at the far post.

Robinson with the wrong decision on that cross. Low and hard vs high and far post. Coulda been a chance.
