*** The Offical Match Thread: Belgium v USA ***

[TomandJerry]

Hopefully better than the other!

Come on USA

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Let's be honest, it would have to unbelievably dire to be any worse!

I think Belgium are over hyped and the USA will do them. I'd be very happy to be proved wrong though.

USA have been playing so well as a team of relatively average players where as Belgium have not lived up to my expectations and have been playing more as individuals, want USA here even though it will take me out of my work sweep stake

 

[TomandJerry]

Goal keeper just saved them!

 

[TomandJerry]

Streaker on the pitch

 

[1066familyman]

Now this is more like it! Good game to watch so far.

 

[TomandJerry]

Big blow for America

 

[16bha]

Is it just me, or does Danny Murphy sound exactly like Big Ron Atkinson at times?

 

[The Wizard]

Belgium clearly have the better players but disappointing when it gets to key areas on the pitch.

 

[TomandJerry]

Half time 0-0

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

What's Waddle's bloated, beach ball head all about? I think Lineker needs to give him the number of his surgeon pronto! And to think they played in the same era as well.

 

[pornomagboy]

That yedlin for usa is a useful player

 

[TomandJerry]

Great save there

Love the question mark at the end there.....

Indeed. I wonder how many Americans thought Belgium was a town in Rhode Island before today.
