Belgium simply a better team.

Belgium simply a better team.

It’s very apparent.

National embarrassment on home soil. Absolute failure.

We aren’t close to being a contender on the world stage.

I think they call that an ass-whooping in both Flemish and French.

I really want to see Belgium kick the sh*t out of Spain

I've been watching world cups since 1970, and in my opinion the quality of the teams has dropped off over the last decade. Not that it isn't entertaining, just lacking quality. I'm not sure many of the European players would have made their national teams in the past, and maybe one of the Brazil team would, and none of the German team. I think this is a big part of the reason that so many players pushing 40 have been playing this go around.
Things are so bad that England may make the semi final (albeit via Congo, Mexico, and Norway - not exactly powerhouses of soccer).
The team that has surprised me the most has been Columbia, they probably won't win it, but they have been the most entertaining to watch.

I woke up in the early hours so watched the last 30 mins, I don't know what to say really, hopefully it all comes together for the next World Cup.
All England have to do is beat Norway to proceed on, I can't see that being a easy, a bunch of crazy Vikings!

But we are looking forward to the tea breaks

USA showed spurts of remebering how to play, but most of the first half they were sloppy and looked scared. The aggression to win the ball back after losing it was gone. Pulisic was a negative effect losing every ball he touched.

Second half they played better with some possession but did t generate enough chances.

.that 3rd goal was just embarrassing

Feeling numb-ish and deflated....much like most of the game was played last night.

I hope that for the remainder of the tournament there won't be another shellacking like we endured last night.

Bummer to lose Canada, Mexico, and especially USA all at once. Not sure who I will cheer for now. Maybe the country that had the funniest people from 90 Day Fiance

After Big Ed, everyone is battling for second place.

Personally, i feel it wasn’t us loosing the match, it was that we were completely out classed. Belgium anticipated every pass, defensive structure, basically the entire match. N for the icing on top they put in Lukaku at the end to show what it could’ve been.
This is not knocking our country n team, I remember watching the “Miracle on Ice” as it happened but the fact is we had not faced an elite team yet and CONCACAF is what it is.
Our elite athletes migrate to other sports and w the $$$$ available, who can blame em.
