Belgium: Courtois, Mignolet, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, De Bruyne, Chadli, Dembele, Fellaini, Januzaj, Nainggolan, Hazard, Mirallas, Witsel, Lukaku, Mertens, etc. Young and talented team. W-O-W
What you are saying isn't true. Most of them even have a Belgian mother or father. Like Kompany and Dembele and a few others have one Flemish parent. If I'm not mistaken, not a SINGLE one wasn't born in Belgium. Also, most of them did in fact got their youth football experience in Belgium (Kompany, Witsel, Lukaku, VanBuyten, Debruyne, Defour, Courtois,...) and the others at least started off at a Belgian club.
we did not deserve anything but a loss in this game. dominated from front to back, and our penalty was a pity call from the ref. could have been 6 or 7 to 1 if you watched more than these highlights.
We were so close today also. Our defense improved tremendously but what was needed was an improvement in our offensive side/attacking area, it was 1-2, but the USA fought out their souls today and great props to Tim Howard, whom I truly became a follower for. His dedication for the game and a few others will never be forgotten :( Until next world cup Tim #2018 !!!! Although, we should've won if we worked more on our perfecting our defense and working on offense, I'm truly proud of today's game and Howard!
Belgium has a solid team with some stand out EPL stars and could do well if they get past the US. Michael Bradley has been poor all tournament but I expect that trend to change next week. If he is on & combining well with Jones it will be a very long game for you. GL.
Cheesedick Magee Ronaldo was not fit. Hazard is a team player he is smarter than Ronaldo, Hazard will not run with the ball for 90minutes he can actualy give a pass, unlike Ronaldo.
Sometimes Cameron & Gonzalez give up on plays in a way that my rec-league team would never do. But those 2 have stepped up pretty well in the WC. ...Counting down the days to Tuesday. Go USMNT.
no you ediot its football in English language! Only Americans call it soccer because you call handegg football! I have no problem with the word! But everywhere in the world its called football in every language except USA!
The time has come for a rematch, and at the World Cup Knockout Stage no less! Some Belgian fans may underestimate us at their own risk, when even Germany players didn't do that by the time we faced off, for what that's worth. This has been the World Cup of surprises so far hasn't it, so why not one more surprise? I know Belgium was missing Hazard here and possibly others. Still, considering we too were missing several players including starters, and some of the starters & especially subs here are not even on the WC roster and have long since been replaced mostly by new players who were not yet in the picture or even the US player pool, while others (Gonzalez & Davis) should come off the bench, I really hope the relatively "new" team combined with a sufficiently strong proactive or even balanced team effort makes a difference for us in our WC Round of 16 rematch against this very, very talented Belgium squad so we can move on the Quarterfinals. Either way, here's to a great match.
I don't think we have the right to start underestimating our opponents, we haven't proven anything yet. And even if we were a football superpower like germany or Brazil, underestimating your opponent is always a stupid thing to do. We won this game relatively easy but the US have improved a lot judging from their performance at the WC so far so I think it will be an interesting game. Anyway, good luck to the US and may the best team win!
KenDaKingArrives germany never left 2nd gear against the US. Portugal were weakened, and ghana were unorganized and unmotivated. All the talk of underestimating has rendered the US overestimated.
Amir-Alexandre D'Hoore ...and here we go! It's people like you that i'm also addressing and you carelessly walk right into it. It is what it is and nobody is really overestimating the team, but they have proven a lot during this tournament, and they too were missing a player their primary striker for almost the entire tournament yet they still adjusted well, how about that fact, pal? I'm not having this discussion with you. I'm not responding to any of your replies as of now. BYE.
KenDaKingArrives I grew up in the US, I know how you think and feel about the sport. I know your mentality towards the world in general. I love the US, and being Belgian and having grown up and experienced the US in a variety of different ways I feel a personal connection to that country that his perhaps stronger than any other country. In terms of football you impressively reached the second round in a difficult group, BUT it was not a group of death. Portugal were toothless, utterly dejected and toothless. Ghana are unorganized, and rife with internal conflict. Germany played easy on you and it was almost impossible for the US to generate a chance. The stadium booed both teams off at half time, it was reminiscent of Gijon (with an identical score line). Belgium has been underestimated for its entire history, and its a bit annoying to hear America puffing their chests.
We're really going to have to step up our game, Tuesday, if we want to beat the USA that I've seen during the group stage. Even though we've gotten 9 out of 9 in our group, I'm kind of disappointed with our team's performance. If they really play to their full potential we're in for a great game. If not... I guess that's where it ends for us. May the best team win!
That wasn't Howard in the 2nd half which was when Belgium did all the damage, we also have a stronger defense now :) If we could only get another forward aside from Dempsy, maybe Aron Johansson on the field then there is no way we will lose the match
In truth, the fluidity and possession control, as well as creativity, was the best I have seen from the US...yeah, they lost..and badly, but it's nice to see such smooth playing from the US
Ik vind het echt super dat België weer zo goed is! Jullie zijn klaar voor het WK dat weet ik zeker, en ik denk dat jullie wel de halve finales kunnen halen:) Super
Most if not all Belgian players where born in Belgium, learned to play football in Belgium. Its true some got poached by other clubs in other countries in their mid teens, mainly Holland and France. They got poached not because of this conspiracy to make Belgium a better team, but because they had talent to start with. So you are partially right.
It seems nine out of every ten goals we concede are gifts to the other teams offense. I could count on one hand the number of times I've though "Wow, that was a beautiful goal," when another team scores against us in the past ten years.
Why is everyone so upset about this result? USA had good possession, a number of decent shots, and with a depleted squad played okay. And Belgium played their A side
They looked confident with possession against a very good team like Belgium. Belgium was missing 2 or 3 but we were missing arguably 4 players and 5 if you count Cherundolo who still has it. Good things are to come. Hopefully when we lose to Germany we do it swinging. Germany is on a tear right now, USA won't stop them. We are not an A squad and we have no speed or dribbling. We will though. But they played good against Belgium good performance kept possession respectable.
I'm not quite sure what you are saying about the first goal by the US, because Cameron was not offsides. But, you are right that the ref crew was horrible last night.
Vertonghen, Vermaelen, De Bruyne, Mertens, Hazard, Courtois, Alderweireld, Gilet, Lombaerts, Pocognoli, Ciman, Defour, Mirallas, Lestienne, Vossen, Mignolet... not to mention that atleast 10 of those I named are key players, all white and born in Belgium.. we have 3 black players (who were also born in Belgium: Kompany, Benteke and Lukaku) so you couldn't be more wrong.
He is very experienced and skillful. Despite not playing for his club, he would still be better choice than Gonzalez or Cameron whose rookie mistakes are unbelievable. Believe me, those guys are not good enough to play for the US.
A few weeks ago when I was at the Red Bulls vs Galaxy game in New York, the fans we're chanting "U.S. Reject!" whenever Donovan touched the ball. Seems like that "reject" is the only hope the U.S. has of qualifying for the World Cup, eh? Nice going, Klinsmann.
more than anything in the world, more than being an offensive powerhouse, soccer is about minimizing mistakes. It is almost impossible to beat a team that does not beat itself.
You do realise that pretty much all Belgian national team players were born and raised in Belgium, right? A lot of them learned to play on the streets of Brussels.
Noah-Anna De Ruyver sure like belgium has really impressed people in the world cup. Their first two games were 1-0 and 2-1 in the third. With all the goals coming in the last 20 minutes. Against mediocre teams, the US will benefit from their tough group stage and get the win either 2-1 or 3-2. Sorry but belgium does not look the same as in this video all their games have been very boring plus if US can stop Eden hazard there goes all of belgium s playmaking.
andrew marin yeah.... US can stop Eden Hazard,but the problem stand Lukaku have to be stoped and Dries Mertens & Fallaini too in that case and origi just prooved he also need to be marked by the opponent players Eden Hazard doesn t lead the game usually it s an hard core ,every players make the game
andrew marin and what did usa do? 2-1 vs ghana while ghana deserved to win because they completely dominated the match, 2-2 vs a weak portugal team? 0-1 vs germany who clearly wasn't even putting alot of effort because they were pretty much confident they would go to the next round
Fair enough, but there were some seriously upsetting, avoidable goals on defense. We did great on a team level with communication and formation, but the individual mistakes in the back need to get fixed asap.
Most of the goals were due to mistakes. We got lucky twice with those handballs... Kljestan impressed me, Holden (when fit), Jones. Kljestan, Bradley I think can make some sweet noise for this team and having Corona, Torres, and WIlliams won't hurt either
Focus, we need someone to step up in the midfield to create chances, then again Michael Bradley wasn't here or Landon. Just tighten up defense and no individual mistakes! That's what killed us. We were also lucky Eden Hazard didn't play, he truly is a hazard to the opponents defense! Good win for Belgium though, I really liked their humble performance and I think they can go far in the WC.
I'd imagine this will be our first game if we were to advance out of the group stage. If we play our best, I think we could nick a win (knock on wood).
Without all the Players from Bayern Munich,Dortmund and Madrid there is a possibility to get a good result against Germany.They're playing with their third team.It's difficult but possible.
If you compare Costa Rica and Belgium you're not gonna get taken seriously I'm afraid. ;) And Germany played the US with their C-squad :) But I really hope the US can qualify for the World Cup. They're better than Panama or Costa Rica, IF they don't make that many mistakes, but cheer up, it's only a friendly. Greetings from Belgium! :D
In the next cycle I can see Agudelo fitting into the team as he is actually playing well right now, but Adu wasn't even good enough for Philadelphia. You can't justify his selection.
You know this Belgian team lost in 2011 twice from the best German team and it was only 0-1 and 3-1. And the goals were the only chances Germany had received. And Belgium wasn't that good as they are now...
1) We need 2 strikers up top 2) Landon Donovan (Best mls playmaker) & Jack McInerny (Goal Machine) 3) Cameron is not a right back, hes a center back! 4) When need guys with pace on our wings! Not Brad Davis, more like Josh Gatt!
I'm American and man enough to say the USMNT needs A LOT of work. They play like its an mls game. No class, no intelligence, and no defense. Our best player is Tim Howard
Tim Howard, We need Johnson, Cameron, Besler, and Beasley on that back line, Zusi, Shea, and Bradley in th, and e midfiled, and I'll go with Dempsey, Gatt, and, Johnson as forwards to produce good results..I know it!! Go USA! Not a bad result against Belgium, but we could
Why do I not see anyone talking about how 2 of the Belgian goals were offsides and the horrible defensive move on the us part leaves Belgium with only 1 earned goal. Oh and that was most defiantly a hand ball.
seriously? a hand ball, you even play soccer lol? and ok then it still was a fair 0-2 cause the first goal of the us was a pushing foul ;) admit your loss boy, Belgium is a superior team, for the rest i don't mean anything disrespectful.
The US team surprises me sometimes with how bad they play. Against Korea the other day playing so badly if it was Belgium that day it would have been 4-0. I still think it was a handball. He turned into it.
theme of this game: sloppy US defense hurt them big time. If the US can correct that and Howard is brilliant as always for the couple of times the defense does screw up, then we should win on Tuesday.
I do not know if there is a lack of knowledge or just some bad faith. Germany played with her B or C squad if they had come with their real team I'm pretty sure that the US team would have lost (at least 5-0). Ps: The Belgium team won because they are simply better than the US team plus this wasn't the real Belgium team a lot of players were missing, such as Hazard.
Belgium: Courtois, Mignolet, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, De Bruyne, Chadli, Dembele, Fellaini, Januzaj, Nainggolan, Hazard, Mirallas, Witsel, Lukaku, Mertens, etc. Young and talented team. W-O-W

If you actually watch soccer and don't go by reputation of teams, ou would know that Belgium is REALLY REALLY GOOD
Yes there was. The guy who took the corner stood offside...
We were so close today also. Our defense improved tremendously but what was needed was an improvement in our offensive side/attacking area, it was 1-2, but the USA fought out their souls today and great props to Tim Howard, whom I truly became a follower for.

Although, we should've won if we worked more on our perfecting our defense and working on offense, I'm truly proud of today's game and Howard!
We will be better, stronger, faster and more unified this time! "I belive that we will win, I believe that we will win!"
American attitude won't help you against HAZARD! No disrespect.
Good luck mero40k
keep on dreaming
Belgium has a solid team with some stand out EPL stars and could do well if they get past the US. Michael Bradley has been poor all tournament but I expect that trend to change next week. If he is on & combining well with Jones it will be a very long game for you. GL.
Cheesedick Magee Ronaldo was not fit. Hazard is a team player he is smarter than Ronaldo, Hazard will not run with the ball for 90minutes he can actualy give a pass, unlike Ronaldo.
BELGIUM in quarter-final! USA is the best gift for us :)
belgium has a lot of talent
Sometimes Cameron & Gonzalez give up on plays in a way that my rec-league team would never do. But those 2 have stepped up pretty well in the WC. ...Counting down the days to Tuesday. Go USMNT.
"That's not a handball; that's ball to hand." Haha.
Belgium has a very good soccer team; the players open up in the field and play with speed and precision.
don't say soccer it's football
If you say soccer, your american
swype swpe Don't comment on a video listed by US SOCCER if you have a problem with the term soccer.
swype swpe It's Soccer in the English Language, not Football. In the Spanish Language it's futbol. We need to respect people's culture and language.
no you ediot its football in English language! Only Americans call it soccer because you call handegg football! I have no problem with the word! But everywhere in the world its called football in every language except USA!

Besler, Donovan, F.Johnson, and Bradley were very much needed here !!
klinsmann has made them sharper, organised and hard to break down. Can cause a real upset
I believe it is the first way you described, because the game occurred a day or two after Klinsmann named his squad that didn't include Dono.
where in the world was landon donovan and brek Shea
That wasn't Howard in the 2nd half which was when Belgium did all the damage, we also have a stronger defense now :) If we could only get another forward aside from Dempsy, maybe Aron Johansson on the field then there is no way we will lose the match
LOL ! 😆😅😂
Hands Down Gonzalez sucks
Man Belgium has one of the best teams in the world right now imo they will do very good at the world cup next year...
Back line seriously needs to sharpen up!
Belgium is a beast of a team, without eden hazard too. Lukaku is just 20 years old..
Belgium haves a very strong team and they have also the world's best goalkeeper so ....goodluck usa ...
In truth, the fluidity and possession control, as well as creativity, was the best I have seen from the US...yeah, they lost..and badly, but it's nice to see such smooth playing from the US
Ik vind het echt super dat België weer zo goed is! Jullie zijn klaar voor het WK dat weet ik zeker, en ik denk dat jullie wel de halve finales kunnen halen:) Super
@U.S. Soccer - Can you post the pump up video that was used pre-game? That clip was badass.
I wouldn't worry americans, Belgium are a quality football team! They will shock a lot of football fans at this years world cup. Good luck usa!!
Most if not all Belgian players where born in Belgium, learned to play football in Belgium.
Its true some got poached by other clubs in other countries in their mid teens, mainly Holland and France.
They got poached not because of this conspiracy to make Belgium a better team, but because they had talent to start with.
So you are partially right.
The only thing different was that the German fans told the truth :)
we are BELGIUM!!!!
Super BELGIUM
It seems nine out of every ten goals we concede are gifts to the other teams offense. I could count on one hand the number of times I've though "Wow, that was a beautiful goal," when another team scores against us in the past ten years.
What a fucking team this belgium team was... who knew how good theyd be like 5 years later
Why is everyone so upset about this result? USA had good possession, a number of decent shots, and with a depleted squad played okay. And Belgium played their A side
I wish we could see a duel between Lalas and a Fellaini trying to catch the ball in the air for the next match
sniff
here we go! we have a rematch. Let's hope the USA can pull it off and move on to face either Argentina or Switzerland
They looked confident with possession against a very good team like Belgium. Belgium was missing 2 or 3 but we were missing arguably 4 players and 5 if you count Cherundolo who still has it. Good things are to come. Hopefully when we lose to Germany we do it swinging. Germany is on a tear right now, USA won't stop them. We are not an A squad and we have no speed or dribbling.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying about the first goal by the US, because Cameron was not offsides. But, you are right that the ref crew was horrible last night.
Flemish people have to work their arse off for the Walloons, The Flemish are and will always be the hardest workers.
we hope that we can go far in the WC. But we are happy if we make it to Brazil. If we make it, Belgium will go crazy ;) Our last cup was in 2002...
I agree, but don't call Belgium mediocre when they have some of the best young talent in the world. They are clearly not mediocre.
yeah I know, we lost Nike when we started to play bad and missed the WC, Euro... But I heard Nike's coming back for us in 2014, if I'm not mistaken.
Vertonghen, Vermaelen, De Bruyne, Mertens, Hazard, Courtois, Alderweireld, Gilet, Lombaerts, Pocognoli, Ciman, Defour, Mirallas, Lestienne, Vossen, Mignolet... not to mention that atleast 10 of those I named are key players, all white and born in Belgium.. we have 3 black players (who were also born in Belgium: Kompany, Benteke and Lukaku) so you couldn't be more wrong.

Nice going, Klinsmann.
The 1-1 from USA was offside because at the begin of the corner they did a 1-2 pass. And at that pass before the cross was (I think Davies?) offside.
more than anything in the world, more than being an offensive powerhouse, soccer is about minimizing mistakes. It is almost impossible to beat a team that does not beat itself.
You do realise that pretty much all Belgian national team players were born and raised in Belgium, right? A lot of them learned to play on the streets of Brussels.
awsome reaction!
Belgium may not be the deepest team, but their starting XI are really scary, technical AND blue collar.
Ready for this rematch I believe that we will win USA USA USA
Keep dreaming Belgium are too good XD
Noah-Anna De Ruyver sure like belgium has really impressed people in the world cup. Their first two games were 1-0 and 2-1 in the third. With all the goals coming in the last 20 minutes.

andrew marin yeah.... US can stop Eden Hazard,but the problem stand
Lukaku have to be stoped and Dries Mertens & Fallaini too in that case
and origi just prooved he also need to be marked by the opponent players
Eden Hazard doesn t lead the game usually
it s an hard core ,every players make the game
andrew marin well us is also a mediocre team so, no stress
andrew marin and what did usa do? 2-1 vs ghana while ghana deserved to win because they completely dominated the match, 2-2 vs a weak portugal team? 0-1 vs germany who clearly wasn't even putting alot of effort because they were pretty much confident they would go to the next round
Very strong Belgian team indeed. I remember when the Croat Branko Strupar once played for Belgium, times sure change :D
Fair enough, but there were some seriously upsetting, avoidable goals on defense. We did great on a team level with communication and formation, but the individual mistakes in the back need to get fixed asap.
it's football
do you mean handegg? cause it most def isn't.....
fyi if you want to type football save yourself the trouble and type futbol
You are totally right! The score should have been 0-6 if you see it like that.
USA won't even score pass belgium keeper!! Mark my words
Marked.
The Us S did though and with a 19 year old. Also Thibaut Courtois is an amazing keeper, so not scoring on him isn't a great insult
Most of the goals were due to mistakes. We got lucky twice with those handballs... Kljestan impressed me, Holden (when fit), Jones. Kljestan, Bradley I think can make some sweet noise for this team and having Corona, Torres, and WIlliams won't hurt either
Was at that game is was hype
tbf theres no shame in losing to Germany they are arguably the best team in the world right now
Focus, we need someone to step up in the midfield to create chances, then again Michael Bradley wasn't here or Landon. Just tighten up defense and no individual mistakes! That's what killed us. We were also lucky Eden Hazard didn't play, he truly is a hazard to the opponents defense! Good win for Belgium though, I really liked their humble performance and I think they can go far in the WC.
I'd imagine this will be our first game if we were to advance out of the group stage. If we play our best, I think we could nick a win (knock on wood).
nah, altidore in the centre is passively offside and cameron is clearly onside. so it's a regular goal.
Without all the Players from Bayern Munich,Dortmund and Madrid there is a possibility to get a good result against Germany.They're playing with their third team.It's difficult but possible.
Kevin De Bruyne best Belgian player in the last 5 international games of the Red Devils.
If you compare Costa Rica and Belgium you're not gonna get taken seriously I'm afraid. ;) And Germany played the US with their C-squad :) But I really hope the US can qualify for the World Cup. They're better than Panama or Costa Rica, IF they don't make that many mistakes, but cheer up, it's only a friendly. Greetings from Belgium! :D
In the next cycle I can see Agudelo fitting into the team as he is actually playing well right now, but Adu wasn't even good enough for Philadelphia. You can't justify his selection.
I think your talking about the World Series in baseball. In American football it's usually Superbowl champions.
im from belgium and im a huge fan of them and guess what the was belagiums B team
we need our true starting eleven to compete against teams like Belgium. We need Donavan,Bocanagra,and others and Howard in for the full 90 minutes.
can anyone tell me where hazard was
They were all born in Belgium except for Benteke who was born in Congo which was a Belgian colony..
Same game next tuesday ? I hope !
You know this Belgian team lost in 2011 twice from the best German team and it was only 0-1 and 3-1. And the goals were the only chances Germany had received. And Belgium wasn't that good as they are now...
Okay why the fuck is Gonzalez on this team and Donovan isn't? Omar fucks everything up and causes goals against us. Please Klinssman don't start him
What about Cameron? If Klinsmann starts Cameron, count on Germany well u get the idea
They don't play even close to the same position. It's like asking why Nick Romando is going but Donovan isn't.
1) We need 2 strikers up top
2) Landon Donovan (Best mls playmaker) & Jack McInerny (Goal Machine)
3) Cameron is not a right back, hes a center back!
4) When need guys with pace on our wings! Not Brad Davis, more like Josh Gatt!
We just need better defenders. I do agree about bringing Landon Donovan back.
You know why we lost? we were playing on the browns stadium
there's no room for mistakes!
nope, they are referred to as world champions in football as well.
I'm American and man enough to say the USMNT needs A LOT of work. They play like its an mls game. No class, no intelligence, and no defense. Our best player is Tim Howard
Tim Howard, We need Johnson, Cameron, Besler, and Beasley on that back line, Zusi, Shea, and Bradley in th, and e midfiled, and I'll go with Dempsey, Gatt, and, Johnson as forwards to produce good results..I know it!! Go USA! Not a bad result against Belgium, but we could
2 goals is fantastic. But the defense need A LOT of work. Great team Belgium has though!
how long does one have to be living in a country to play for it's national team?
Why do I not see anyone talking about how 2 of the Belgian goals were offsides and the horrible defensive move on the us part leaves Belgium with only 1 earned goal. Oh and that was most defiantly a hand ball.
seriously? a hand ball, you even play soccer lol? and ok then it still was a fair 0-2 cause the first goal of the us was a pushing foul ;) admit your loss boy, Belgium is a superior team, for the rest i don't mean anything disrespectful.
The US team surprises me sometimes with how bad they play. Against Korea the other day playing so badly if it was Belgium that day it would have been 4-0. I still think it was a handball. He turned into it.
Belgium are in a good moment no the Mnt should be happy they didn't lose by four or five goal's
The ball wasn't played to him. Davis just stopped it and then Zusi kicked. You have to play it to a man offsides for it to be offsides.
theme of this game: sloppy US defense hurt them big time. If the US can correct that and Howard is brilliant as always for the couple of times the defense does screw up, then we should win on Tuesday.
Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Belgium?
nee mens national teams vs belgium
pictures plz
The Belgians have some pretty class players. And they didn't even play Eden Hazard...
no, I don't think so. But the first goal from the USA was offside...
USA lets give them the rematch!!! Hopefully jozy joins . I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN
The USA's defense is what got them, but just give them a few more games half their defense are new players for the National Team
I do not know if there is a lack of knowledge or just some bad faith.
Germany played with her B or C squad if they had come with their real team I'm pretty sure that the US team would have lost (at least 5-0).
Ps: The Belgium team won because they are simply better than the US team plus this wasn't the real Belgium team a lot of players were missing, such as Hazard.
when does soccer season start. idk when.
We are going to win again
Benteke looks like mike tyson
Finally a relevant comment on this thread.
Cody Uhrhammer
thank you sir.
That's not Tim Howard when the last 2 goals were scored
Exactly ! Freddy Adu !
not to mention Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Benteke, Witsel, De Bruyne etc.
Hope this wont happen at the World Cup! U.S team pls learn from the mistakes!
