Granted I'm just watching this sporadically on WatchESPN, but it's hard to see the U.S. winning this one. Belgium is just dominating shots on goal and are constantly on our side of the field. Hard to see Belgium not getting one of those to go in in the next 30 minutes.

You could be watching on a 4K HD about 75" and you'd feel the same way.

Actually, sporadically was the operative word. Finishing up some work for the day and then heading home and I'm glancing back at the game here and there.

@BritPat thanks for the education.

USA is exhausted, it will be hard to counter attack now.

Your Left Winger (Beasly i think) is playing a great WC. Really, really good

 

[BelichickFan]

Kontra, territory doesn't quite mean the same in our football as it does yours. Teams often look to play on the counter-attack and draw teams on to them to help open space up behind the opposing defence. It becomes harder later in the game though if you can't "get out" so to speak.

Too mamy almost goals for Belgium. We're REAL lucky to be tied.

 

[JayNM]

So far so good for the US. They've been solid, they've kept Hazard quiet (he's been the worst player on the pitch) and largely kept the Belgians at bay. More importantly they've looked like they have a goal in them, especially down the right side.

Hopefully they can get that breakthrough in the second half.

Hazard has been pretty disappointing thus far. However, he is that one guy that, in one play, he can decide the whole match

Maybe although you've created a couple of chances.

You are starting to look tired though and there's gaps opening up in midfield. Subs needed.

Yep. He's one of the best in the world without a doubt.

Mirallas nearly picks the lock and another great save by Howard from Origi.

 

[Wheelman]

With all these chances Belgium has had, I'm going to ROFL @ them if USA scores a goal late and wins.

 

[PP2]

Despite the fact that Belgium has a lot more shots on goal than we do, if we hang on, I think we'll see Belgium start to get frustrated and start forcing it.

 

[BelichickFan]

22-5 shots, 7-2 shots on goal. It is what it is.

Quality over quantity. Weight of numbers doesn't necessarily mean much in footy

Terrific save by Howard again. Mirallas has been superb since coming on.

 

[JayNM]

At least Howard deserves a medal. What a game

 

[BritPat]

Gonzalez has turned his ankle over

They've had the best chances too. You're being too polite towards our team.

 

[PP2]

Howard channeling a little M'Bodhi here. Outstanding game.

 

[BritPat]

Can't take the touch there Jones. Step over it or hit it first time.

 

[BritPat]

It's pretty much Origi v Howard at this point. Mirallas has been excellent since coming on.

 

[BritPat]

Hazard had to pull that back, square the ball.

Screech heads another corner over.....
