    Game over. 2 of the 3 Concacaf team are out now.

    I'm just curious, why do you keep on posting his tweets? What does he have to do with football/fútbol/soccer?

    Dempsey looks so lazy out there sometimes...

    once again i think the USA gave too much respect to their opponent. it took 2 young players in Yedlin and the little German boy to show Belgium weren't as imposing despite all the talent. USA finally looked like the team we thought they could be in the waning moments of extra time. oh well... USA gotta stop playing so damn scary.

    No they haven't.

    That last extra time..... Should have been two at least.

    We should be pretty good in 4 years.

    It was a combination of desperation on our part and Belgium feeling the pressure in the last 10 minutes.

    Isn't stoppage based on the time lost due to injuries and stuff that pause the action? It didn't really seem like that happened all that much. 1 minute seemed fine to me
