Moving on is moving on, but that was a lot uglier than I would have liked.
Um, that's why it was the Group of Death.
Very happy they made it to the Round of 16 and if you had told me we would get through the Group stage I would have been happy and perhaps a little suprised. However, how we did it, and particularly Bradley's play, makes me think we should've won the group.
On the glass half full side, there have been several pleasant suprises from the team, so I'm not all doom and gloom. I just don't get what is up with Bradley. Maybe I'm being hyper critical.
I guess I look at it like Ohio State's football season last year. I'm glad we went 12-0 in the regular season, but the way we did it at times had me very worried about the CCG and the bowl game.
I'm awaiting the trailer for our next game.
"They weren't expected to make it this far (cue clips of people saying the U.S. won't advance). Against the odds, they survived the group of death (clip of some U.S. goal highlights). Now, they take on Belgium in the knockout stage, where it's win or go home. FIFA World Cup. United States. Belgium. Tonight, 6:00 P.M. on ABC."
wooooooooooooooo (that's my in depth comment for today)
Bangin'! Let's bang Belgium out of the tournament!
Seems like it those 3 results shouldn't be enough to put us through but apparently I don't knwo about soccer baby!! Gooooooo USA!
True but the other teams were L-T-W and L-T-L so someone has to advance.
They didn't call it the group of death for no reason. Lots of tough close games and beating up on each other throughout.
Don't have to be good in this format, just better then 2 others.
and give bradley some secret stuff and maybe we'll have a fighting chance to make some real noise.
YOU ARE NEXT!
Because we were in it!
USA USA USA USA USA
Peanut butta jelly time!!
Not sure I've ever been this okay over a loss before...
You know, my mother was cheering on Germany, being German herself, and now she won't answer her cell phone AND she owes me $20 because we're out of the Group. To this, I say, "Pick up, mom...the trolling will not take long."
Other than that, very nice to see us going to the knockout round again. If I am not mistaken, we will play our as yet unknown opponent on Tuesday at 4 PM, which works MUCH better around this employment deal.
America may never lose a game again, not in futball, not in baseball, not in basketball, not in the Middle East, not in.... well you get my drift. #GOBLUE
The two sweetest words in the English language.
Goal diff-er-en-tial would be five words? Whatever.
mvp of the usmnt?
YAY USA!
I never thought I would say this, but thank God for CR7.
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL GOAL DIFFERENTIATE
than not in. usa, usa, usa!
Whoever downvotes this thread should get banned.
Good one Center Ice and Voltron. GTFO.
and bang and bang
and all his Belgium friends!!!
Stayed up til 3 and walked 40 minutes to home! Ugly game but who cares! Just win...just through baby!
Thank you Ronaldo! Also Ghana for your defensive and goalkeeping lapses.
Belgium, Argentina, and the Netherlands are our projected opponents. The only one that really makes me worry is the Netherlands and Australia kept them within reach throughout their match. If we had won, our projected path would have been Algeria, France, and Brazil. Algeria is definitely the weakest of all of the teams we would face on either side but I want no part of France or Brazil until the final. Germany can have their win. Works for me.
Thank You CR7, you beautiful douche you.
I believe that we will lose, but still advance! Now....
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!
So nervous till Portugal scored their second... !
USA USA USA!!!
Watched the match from Grant Park in Chicago with tens of thousands of other U.S. fans. Disappointing to lose, but thrilled to advance! Go Von Trapps!
