Man, that extra time was better than any single half of this tournament. Turned into a great game.

 

[-MB-]

USA in lead: 5 minutes stoppage time


USA behind: 1 minute stoppage time.

45 minutes vs 15.

 

[Jean Valjean]

WTH, Bradley is the best US player!

 

[Facundo_Lopez]

Holy fuck. What a game. Freedom died, but they did it in style.

Here, you can eat all the waffles and chocolate you want. And beer to. And fries. Lots of fries.

And now we'll lose to argentina probably

and we'll probably lose to holland. so..

 

[Hieberrr]

USA decides to show up in the second half of extra time...

 

[figadapaura]

Jesus... some of you guys are serious assholes. Get over yourselves.

LOL

 

[MIMIC]

Howard deserves to go through

US team: "LET'S PLAY WHEN IT'S TOO LATE!"

 

[Cob32]

Hard luck USA, played well. Wish my team (England) would play that much desire, passion and spirit.

 

[coolasj19]

Oh. My. God. Good job Belgium. Thank you gods gift to the USA, Tim Howard. Please guys, no salt.

 

[Zutroy]

I'm exhausted from watching that and I'm not even from either country!

 

[Judderman]

We survived the Group of Death, but this still hurts so much. So, so much. Great showing by our squad.

 

[Error]

Belguim defense is kind of bad.

Argies vs Belgium is gonna be fun.

Howard MotM.

 

[Kandrick]

FUCK YEAH.

FREEDOM IS DEAD.

 

[Oozer3993]

Wondolowski is pathetic. Don't let him on the plane. Just shameful.

 

[Firemind]

This has been a fantastic game in terms of entertainment at least. But Argentina shouldn't be afraid of Belgium, they should be able to handle them quite easily.

Romero is no Howard.

Then again, all the Belgium shots were dire.

Congrats, BelgiumGAF.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

It's over and all, but I'm really proud of how they did. In the matches I had seen since Jurgen took over it all looked the boring samey, aimless football, and I genuinely had no faith in them getting out of the group, but they really have progressed since those dark Bradley and Arena days. Looking forward to the next tournament.

 

[BTM]

People saying to bench Bradley are insane

 

[Dunkers92]

What a game. US-Gaf you should be proud. Such incredible fighting spirit. An amazing free kick matched by an amazing save by Courtois

This World Cup man. This World Cup. So good

 

[Spinluck]

Messi gonna send these fuck boys home.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

The problem with the US players is that they did not have the hunger from the beginning. I felt they were very pedestrian for most of the match.

 

[TheFatOne]

U.S. team is making good progress, but the talent isn't there yet. Bradley should never again play for the U.S. squad, and if possible he should be nuked from orbit. Holy shit was he horrific. The man was a walking turnover. He was supposedly the U.S. best player.

 

[victreeb3l]

This team only got any sense of urgency during extra time. I cant be proud of that.

However the USA can only get better from here on out. Tim had a phenomenal performance but its the shame the rest of the team didnt show up.

I dont understand Jurgens weird substitutions but whatever. Belgium dominated and they completely deserved to win.

Great WC. Will be watching the rest.

 

[friskykillface]

Back to back getting into round 16 champions?

 

[MrPing1000]

Great game, unlucky USA. Belgium underperformed all tourney, now they play the other team that has underperformed. Should be interesting.

 

[deroli]

Tonight's extra time was the most exciting football this world cup. A thriller until the final whistle. Belgium deserved to win but the US put up a good fight.

And now two days without football? Ugh

FREEDOM 2 COMING TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU SUMMER 2018

 

[MPW]

epic miss by usa player on the 90th minute cost them

 

[Zia]

Howard was the GK of this cup, in my opinion.

De Bruyne is great. No idea why Chelsea shipped him off.

 

[1000 Branches]

We did good, guys. We did very good. And Howard is a national treasure.
Next time for sure.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Good show by the US but they were thoroughly outclassed by the Belgians except Tim Howard. That dude played out of his damn mind.

 

[The Omega Man]

Go Argentina!

this, American root for us, we
will avenge you!

 

[Dominican Power]

This team was lucky to be in the round of 16.

 

[Ryck]

Wow what a game! This world cup has been phenomenal. Easily the best one I've had the pleasure of watching. (going back to 1990)

 

[Cess007]

Freedom is dead. I welcome our new waffle-chocolate overlords

What?? Tell me more about this overlords!!

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

I'd be curious to know what the average american (i.e., who doesn't know much about football) thought of this match...

 

[Cosmozone]

Great game. Congrats to both teams. I have some kind of deja vu. Wasn't the last USA game at the last WC equally suspenseful? Thank you, guys.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

C'mon TICOS.

Against Holland no chance in hell.

 

[SxP]

Did you watch the Argentina game ...

I did, yes. A I firmly believe that Messi and co. will rip the Belgian defense to shreds.

 

[Jezbollah]

GG WP USA.

You did your country proud in the World Cup.

Imagine if you actually gave your kids a proper grass roots infrastructure.

 

[Rhaegar]

Great game and great heart on display for the USMNT. These are the kinds of efforts that are going to go far in helping soccer gain equal footing among US sports.

Also, Timmy is a legend!

 

[Zoned]

That was such bullshit only 1 extra minute.

Stop this blame shit. US played good, but Belgians were a better side. Accept the defeat.

 

[Osahi]

Jesus... some of you guys are serious assholes. Get over yourselves.

Hybris should be met with laughter. Scroll back to the pages full of eagles, and you now why

 

[TCRS]

still good game by US.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Bradley and Diving Jones Locker, CMON

 

[Hasney]

Well I never thought that Belgium V USA would have me yelling at the TV, but fucking hell, that match. That match goddamn.

I swear extra time never gets the added minutes it should though, not just in this game. Are they concerned about the TV markets or something?

 

[kingkitty]

I wish we had this spirit in the first 90 minutes.

I have hope that Green and maybe Yedlin will become an even bigger impact in 2018.

Good play Belgium.

Gonna still root for my CONCACAF homies Costa Rica, lets see how far they'll go.

Tim Howard is a God.

But we are better than Ghana.

And we almost beat Portugal.

And we showed some great spirit in the final few minutes against the Waffles.

[Boogalogist]

So close..... So close...
Good game

 

[Maintenance]

soccer sucks what a shitty sport

.

That was such bullshit only 1 extra minute.

 

[Chezzymann]

Man, every single team I have ever followed in my life, regardless of the sport, has never gotten anything ever. And theres countless heartbreaks like this and maybe only 2 or 3 dramatic games that have actually resulted in something. Sometimes I wonder if its worth it to watch sports lol.
