Belgium v USA (Knockout Stage) Tuesday 1st July 2014

[juice_terry]

The US have been quite exciting, the Belgians quite boring .. penalties in this one?

 

[Onket]

Part of me wants to see the USA go through, but I think I'd pprefer Belgium to progress.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I think this is the one I'll record and watch after the Canada Day festivities.

 

[The Boy]

I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!
I believe that we will win!!

ad infinitum.

 

[ska invita]

I believe that you will get whooped

 

[Lo Siento.]

not sure whether I like USA's underdog optimism or what to see them crushed by a dominant force...

CRUSH EM! Theyve had their fun...

see if this helps - Clint Dempsey rapping

I'm looking forward to this. I'm loving the grit and determination of the US team and their support has been fantastic so far.

 

[ska invita]

I think the US getting knocked out on penalties would be a good experience for them

Misery loves company.

This is what I was trying to say earlier in the thread, but you've said it much better.

Footballer in not too bad rap shock. Sad that Fulham didn't get a mention. "mid table 4 life bitch". The large gentleman was shot to death shortly after that apparently.

 

[Silva]

most balanced game in this round. hopefully it has an early goal so we can avoid another wreck like the last game, that only got interesting in the five minutes following the game winner.

 

[Pickman's model]

Fuck that! I hope they get trounced.

obama's got a plan for that

 

[Silva]

Judging by Hillary, that was when Varela scored.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is a pretty brisk Star Spangled Banner! FIFA have imposed a time limit on anthems, haven't they?

For a second I thought Belgium's anthem was Hail to the Chief

 

[Onket]

Klinsmann singing the US national anthem! Not sure I've knowingly seen a foreign manager singing the anthem of the country they are managing, before.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I heard Kompany was out injured Hopefully he's got a good game in him.

I'd also heard Altidore should be back! My sources (Guardian's Football Daily) are for shit!

 

[ruffneck23]

Go USA this World Cup is fucking with my loyalties

 

[ruffneck23]

But at work tomorrow when they come on line , they will milk it to the max

 

[Lord Camomile]

Both seem to be going for it straight away. Quite bitty, but started at a fast pace.

 

[ruffneck23]

I think it's gonna be another good one

 

[editor]

I like the way the US play.

Hasn't he gone septic? He has been living there since the early nineties.

 

[Onket]

That would explain it.

 

[J Ed]

USA!!!

 

[MrSki]

That would explain it.

Actually I think it is just his wife & kids.

 

[Batboy]

I like the way the US play.

Me too, last of the underdogs, there is a gritty confidence about them and I think Klinsman has them well drilled. Could be an interesting game.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Heh, looked like they got to the field expecting a chase, and then when it didn't arise the 'interloper' didn't really know what to do

 

[editor]

I hate the way that when some random jumps on the pitch, they try and airbrush them out.
