Well, that's that. I think we went as far as we could, realistically.

No knock on the team itself, it's just we are a country that sends our best athletes to four other sports before soccer.

In one. If even a fraction of the talent that flows into College football and basketball turned to footy......GOAL! JULIAN GREEN!

You get drafted in the 1st round of the MLS and you make around 50K to 100K.

You have to go way down the draft round list to make less than that in the other 4 major sports.

I believe etc

So close to the equaliser. USA USA USA USA

Tim freaking Howard.

Tim Howard vs Belgium

Wowser.

WTF ...............

Epic epic game of football.

I'm not sure I'd call it epic. The Belgians have dominated the game and the Americans have been saved by a mammoth performance from Tim Howard. What it has been is entertaining.

Man all of these games are intense

Okay ... nice run ... training camp up next.

The final 8 all won their groups and are all undefeated(Half of them had a tie)

Sir, we shall agree to disagree. We had a fascinating 90 minutes with a superb performance from Howard. We had the early goal that looked like it would break hearts, then a second that did. Then a goal from nowhere brought the US back into it before nearly equalising.

Epic, for me

Great game. Go Belgium now.

Fair enough. Given the style of football you Poms play, any game that involves one-two passing is probably going to be considered epic.

A performance full of character and grit and determination who simply didn't know when they were beaten. I'm embarrassed to call myself English after seeing a performance like that compared to the shambles we demonstrated.

The commentators on the BBC and the guys in the studio loved the game and your performance.
