    Agreed. The USA played just about as well as they could be expected to play in all four games. Any team that I support which does that will not get any complaints from me.

    Today the better team won, no shame in that.

      Yes, a performance the team, coach and American fans can be proud of.

        And this perhaps explains why kilnsmann said that they would not win the World Cup

          USA seems to have had a better game against Germany. They were able to score two against the Germans, but in this game, they seemed to give the edge to the Belgians who had the them on the backfoot for most of the match. Using the USA as a benchmark, would you say the Belgians should have the edge over the Germns on Saturday? I know football is not decided that way and have to be played on the field, but for argument's sake...

            I guess I was having a Karl moment. Belgium will play Argentina, not Germany.

                    Belgians came out on edge (desperate?) and from the first whistle played at frenetic pace. The Germans were more deliberate in action.

                    That higher level of pace took away from the USA just that little time and space that ensured they were not as comfortable and organized as against the Germans.

                    So many times the Belgians disrupted the USA attempts at keeping possession... ~sigh ! ~

                        I would not say Belgium came out desperate. they realized that the US usually come out "and take the game to teams". Their plan was to take the US out of their game, hence, maintain possession, and put the US under pressure from early and it worked.

                        I always said the Belgians had the more talented side, but I thought Klinsmann would have the upper hand over the less experienced Marc Wilmots, the Belgian coach. That was not to be however.

                          Yep, no question the better team won. But we gave them a good scare at the end though!
