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

[Doctor Carrot]

That intruder missed a trick. Didn't even get his arse out or anything!

 

[not-bono-ever]

cmon the great satan!

 

[Lord Camomile]

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

Yeah, all the disparaging remarks and "nobody wants to see that" - piss off ye po-faced liars!

I do wonder how the players feel about it though, imagine some of them do find it kind of annoying in a match that's so important to them.

I'm not sure i can support the US now:

 

[Lord Camomile]

This tournament seems to have seen a lot of breaks where there's more attackers than defenders, only for them to break down via a misplaced pass or poor shot. I know there's been plenty of goals (in the group stages, at least) but there should have been plenty more!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm not sure i can support the US now:

That's just because Kompany won the league

 

[big eejit]

I'm supporting USA cos Tim Howard is the man. And he's got his beard back!

 

[pocketscience]

I'm not sure i can support the US now:

MLS contract drafted up for shrek?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Asked too much of Dempsey, might have been better off playing it across to the left.

I say, from my sofa in South-East London.

 

[editor]

Good game this.

 

[mhendo]

Good game this.

Certainly a lot better than the earlier one.

 

[magneze]

Very entertaining.

 

[paulhackett]

That's just because Kompany won the league

Or jealous of Fellaini's follicles

 

[Silva]

Am I the only one that finds amusing that a guy named Mertens is the kick taker for Belgium?

 

[Lo Siento.]

Like USA's kamikaze attacking, but Belgium have so much space to counter here, it's surely a matter of time until it all goes wrong

Yedlin is of native Indian, Afro American and Latvian ancestory. Interesting mix!

He's quick too.

He looks decent.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Chris Waddle looks like he's escaped from prison

His match so far is oddly reminiscent of Seamus Coleman's debut against Spurs a few years ago.

Chris Waddle looks like he's escaped from prison

his eyes the very definition of piss'oles in the snow

Look very dowdy, for a former pop star, it's sad to see.

 

[Onket]

He dyed that barnet himself, last night in his hotel with boot polish after drinking a half bottle of rum, I reckon.

 

[smmudge]

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

Go through on penalties this round, knocked out on penalties in the QFs.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is Danny Murphy alright? He's been tripping over his words a fair bit this evening.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Gordon Strachan during one game was a bit squiffy.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Think Klinsmann told US players to be a bit more cautious...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gordon Strachan during one game was a bit squiffy.

Was that the Germany match last night? Was in a pub so couldn't tell if it was just his accent

 

[Barking_Mad]

No I can't remember the game but he was sat outside with the beach studio and he sounded like he'd had one cocktail too many.

 

[editor]

I don't care about their FIFA ranking, but the US are a great team that's only going to get better.

 

[Barking_Mad]

You'd think with so much pace that counter attacking would suit the US.
