**Official USMNT Soccer Thread**

I think we have a legit chance on beating them.....they're talented but they haven't looked that good on the pitch

for as much talk about ________ not looking that good on the pitch.....

we haven't looked particularly great either, other than the 90 minute stretch vs a banged up Portugal....

I have no clue how we are gonna physically bounce back after today tbh. We looked beat, tired, and had for the most part little fight other than the closing moments of the match.

Our touches were poor, passes were sloppy as ever.

We are gonna have to get our minds and body right for Tuesday in Salvador.
 
who said I was dismissing the USA?

 but if they keep playing the way they are then the USA has a legit chance....simple math
 
I didn't say you were dismissing Belgium.

Just that, sure they haven't looked good; but the US side haven't been so peachy themselves either and we are gonna have to play better to take advantage of Belgium's not so great form
 
These 4 days of rest will come in handy. I am curious to see what changes Klinsy will do for the Belgium game :nerd:
 
I mentioned before our match today that we were better off in 2nd place regardless of opponent. Manaus took a toll on us. We need the extra day of rest and less travel which we get by coming in second. We technically are getting 5 days if you count today.

Belgium just looks like the typical Euro team the US has historically been able to beat.

Its all about the W now. No more goal differential, points, and saving players for the next game. Toda la carne al asador. I really think we could do it guys.

 If anything I see Argentina/Holland. With Holland with the advantage since they've been playing more as a team.
 
^^^^ They said it might happen. This has been a wide open world cup. Costa Rica getting thru the Group of champions. Spain went home already. Even Algeria reaching the second round. Anything can happen, so you never know. US VS MEX WOULD BE EPIC HERE IN SOCAL :smokin

i work in LA. think i'll try working from home to avoid all that nonsense that would ensue if that happens :lol:
 
Just happy our World Cup isn't over yet :pimp:

Leaving in the knock out stage feels worst than blue balls. All that hype just to leave in 10 days.

Vanden Borre is out for Belgium. It is possible that Kompany and Vermaelen are out or limited. Will Defour play since he got a red card against Korea?

Defour is banned for the USA match.

Kompany is battling a groin injury. Expect him to play, he's performed through various knocks for Manchester City as a dependable defensive stalwart.

I never said U.S./Mexico in the semifinals was going to happen, I just said it could happen.

Doubt it. Even if we beat Belgium, we will not get past Argentina :lol:
