Only thing I can think is that they determined that without fan interference, the ball would have hit the railing and Suzuki wouldn't have caught it anyway.
-
Well that makes total sense. Called a foul ball on the field. We overturned the call. But it's fan interference. Still a foul ball. So we're not actually overturning the call.
-
If you can't tell, just stick with the call and move on. This review is taking forever.
-
Man that's too bad for Belgium, probably going out because your starting goalie gets hurt and the backup makes an error.
-
115 pitches so we’ll see what they do in the 9th.
-
Surprised wingers is so low. Though it’s only 13 PKs so there could be a bit of sample size there.
-
That was my biggest WTF of the video. That throw went midway between 3rd and home.
-
Rooting for Colombia here. No offense to the Swiss but Col-Arg could be fire. Colombia won’t be scared and they’ll probably go at Arg. They kept attacking until the end against Por even though a tie won them the group and they kept going at Ghana despite winning late.

Poor Egypt.

We won the possession because Belgium let us win it. It was 53-47 Belgium in the first half and 64-36 US in the second. Belgium didn't need to score, they knew they had another game in 4 days, and the knew we posed basically no threat offensively to score. So why would they press to try to win the ball back when they can just let us have it and do nothing with it? And that's the only stat we won. 2.15-0.67 in xG, 15-7 total shots, 7-2 shots on goal, 21-12 touches in opponents box, 4-0 big chances created. All in favor of Belgium. The second half was pretty even because Belgium allowed it to be. They had more good chances to score (1) in the first minute than we had in 90. They dominated the first half and didn't need to do much the last 1/3 of the game. Our goal was fluky as well. There's a decent chance Courtois saves that free kick if there's no deflection. And even if Belgium had two fluky goals, they also had multiple other chances that could very easily have turned into goals. Oh, and they didn't even start de Bruyne (had started all four games) and Doku (started 3 of 4).

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.
-
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.
-
Maybe I’m misremembering. But I don’t think Netherlands kicked our ass this bad 4 years ago. They were better for sure.
-
Also a bit dispiriting after seeing how good Mexico looked last night against England, even before the red card.
-
Poch when US soccer comes to him about staying on for another cycle:
-
Freese played that like he was the Spurs goalie. It’s fine that he came out but once you win the ball you just boot it away.
-
Might not be the worst thing if we just lost this match rather than having to watch Spain really kick our ass. Belgium looks like they can generate chances whenever they want to.
-
Be stronger, Ream. You got owned there.
-
Lol. Solid defense guys.
-
1.36 xG for Belgium already. At this rate Freese is going to break Howard’s record for saves in a WC game.
-
It’s almost as if we’re playing a team that’s much better than any of the other four teams we’ve played so far.
-
Not ideal!
-
They look much better so far. We’re lucky to not be losing.
-
The only problem with that response is Jose pretty much always spoke. He’d say he wasn’t going to comment on <insert incident here> but then he just couldn’t help himself and would say something about it anyway. He’s Michael Scott trying not to say “that’s what she said”.
