I’m a dad now. Emma Kate made her grand entrance last night at 11:11 pm. 7lb 2oz and 19 inches long. She is wonderful and I love her so much already.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

there are only like maybe two or three of these guys that have the body type and athletic ability to play soccer at somewhat competitive level if they had started early. These takes have to stop.

[Danny Kanell @dannykanell]

These dudes playing soccer since 5 years old would dogwalk the rest of the world...who did I miss?

Lamar Jackson
Anthony Edwards
SGA - for the flopping alone
Jamar Chase
Myles Garrett - the enforcer
Pete Crowe Armstrong
Bobby Witt, Jr
Lebron James - prob in goal
Jahmyr Gibbs
Christian McCaffrey
Saquon Barkley

Brandon Aubrey *drafted by MLS

Coach: Curt Cignetti - have to be mentally tougher

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

the worst part is they just didn’t play good. a lot of that is belgium’s quality. if you get beat by the other team just being better in a competitive game fine. but they didn’t even look like they belonged on the same field most of the time. stinks.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

brutal man.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

good lord man

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

@HiMyNameIsSeton you can take dest out and just insert any of them. pretty much all have been bad.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

just bullied up and down the field. have to control the midfield and push things up the field. belgium subs will be interesting but just keep trying to get it up the field.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

i don’t think they could’ve played any worse and only down one. keep pushing and see if something breaks through.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

bro. the back line has got to do something.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

MALIK TILLMAN FREE KICK

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

the boys look completely lost right now.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

if they’re gonna clear the ball like this all night it’s gonna be a long night.

The Belgians, however, continue to fire warning shots.

They say they continue to contest the “eligibility” of Balogun and say they have told US Soccer they reserve all options if he is on the team sheet tonight.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

Seattle looks incredible. People everywhere.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

Sepp, brother, might want to sit this one out.

[Joseph S Blatter @SeppBlatter]

Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?

Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

looking at what 10-15 minutes of stoppage time at this point?

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

this ref is losing control of the match. could
get ugly.

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

this game is so drunk. it’s amazing.

[Tom Fornelli @TomFornelli]

Why did FIFA suspend Balogun's red-card ban?

[Billy Watson @BWatson18]

No. Absolutely not.

The USMNT and Mexico have been defined by their rivalry and each other for 30 years, but that is over.

The USMNT/Mexico rivalry is dead and a new era begins tonight. (link in thread)
