Disclaimer: I have watched more soccer in the last 90 minutes than I have in the last 10 years (outside of Ted Lasso episodes... LOVE Ted Lasso!).

But I kinda want tonight to be evidence #1237819023789016238761203861098243608962314 that everything trump touches turns to $hit.

Absolutely. The Trump stink is all over this one

Never forget, the Knicks' hot streak ended when he showed up and slept through Game 3.

He can’t even let us lose fair and square.

You just know this supporter has a plan to turn this around. 
 

He’s probably in a bar somewhere talking even some crazy horsefeathers right now.

What a trash effort

Maybe I’m misremembering. But I don’t think Netherlands kicked our ass this bad 4 years ago. They were better for sure.

Really, the US was the better team in that game 4 years ago. Here, not at all.

[scarey]

As a casual Fulham fan and a fan of Tim Ream... did we really have no other standouts better than a 38 year old Ream for this team? I thought this from the time they had their roster set, but kept my mouth shut about it because the US was playing so well. He was overmatched all game.

Pulisic was terrible. Not even invisible, he was a negative every time he touched the ball.

Tillman had a hell of a game. I couldn't believe when he scored again on the set piece.

Antonee, Richards, and Adams had solid games. McKennie looked good when he was attacking, but was bouncing all over the place when he was back to defend.

This game was nowhere nearly as bad as the final score indicates. Freese is gonna need a bottle of something very strong tonight, that may end up being one of the worst plays in a US world cup game.

This was the chance to make a run too. In 4 years, we’ll be in Pot 2. That means unless we get Paraguay or maybe Uruguay, we’ll be in a group with a team like Belgium, Argentina, Spain, England, etc. So unless we pull an upset we’ll finish 2nd or 3rd which means either a group winner or runner up instead of a 3rd place team in the R32.

[bukie]

Pulisic was bad (and/or injured), Dest was bad, the back line was too thin to handle a coordinated attack (as was plain from the Turkiye game where the backup defenders may as well have not even been on the field).

Need to develop more and better defenders, and keep developing program depth so that there's less dependence on one player to succeed.

This was also the US's worst effort of the tournament, start to finish, and that includes the Turkiye game where nobody played.

Maybe you mistyped but this game was definitely as bad as the final score indicates. If Belgium wanted to put up 6 on us, they could have.

Yeah. That could have been 4-1 early, not just in the end. USA panicked every touch. Nobody wanted the ball.

Hopefully they’ll be known as a better generation but far from the best.  A tiny country like Belgium can outclass the US because they are better at growing players.
