Despite obviously overcoming the idiocy of a few trustees, how does this reversal of abandonment (MSU) and a separate commitment (to Clemson) evidence loyalty or commitment?

@elleduncantv Well, we might have taken this loss with class if not for a thumb on the scale that STILL ended 1-4 . . .

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

And after getting relief from a rule that should have applied. @USMNT lost and did so with an unfair (dis) advantage.

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

Going to be tough for the USMNT to beat a team that is more skilled than them at every single position on the field- when they also play like absolute garbage against them for their level

Outclassed, outplayed, outgunned

Sad!

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

Fair and square.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Congratulations to Belgium.
You beat us fair and square at our best and you were better. You earned it.

Imagine having the World Cup in your home country and playing scared in the first truly big game.

The US had just one shot on goal the entire game, outside of the free kick goal by Tillman, and it was a bad angle shot by Balogun.

They got what they deserve yet again.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

Truly terrible effort, @USMNT

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

That’s the most pathetic goaltending and defending I have ever seen in the World Cup. Embarrassing.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@michiganstateu, my alma mater, crushing it again. Proving why alumni won't admit they went there, let alone give money. What a joke. 👏👏

Check out this story from Detroit News: 2 MSU trustees punished after refusing to agree to new conduct code.

@KuKhahil I wish he had gotten something. Maybe it would have ignited the team. He's clearly unable to do so otherwise.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

Embarrassing, @DetroitPistons. Truly terrible effort. I'm out.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

Way to box out, @DetroitPistons 🙄🙄🙄

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@NBA has created, incentivized, and acquiesced to an entirely unwatchable product. Unenforced flopping, foul baiting, and lopsided officiating. If @DetroitPistons lose tonight, at least this is the last game I have to watch this year. Just terrible.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@AtoZ_Payton Truly unwatchable.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@HonoluluBlues_ Too many.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@CadesAttorney Where is Cade at the podium? We get the two guys who actually did their job tonight. How about Duren and Thompson? And Robinson and Jenkins?

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@thom_not_tom Punch up. Not sure why it's so hard.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@HonoluluBlues_ Lazy play calling and color commentating -- it's easy to hype the moment and the momentum. Also lazy and uninteresting.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@FakeWorld313 It's unwatchable.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@LadyClemmieUDL All three. Can't find anything else to talk about - praise the winner. Painful to listen to.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

@AJohnsonNBA Call for it. Whine about it. Play act it. It's a game. A game that's really no fun to watch.

[Joseph Baumann @JosephJBaumann]

Can we talk about sycophantic @NBA game calling from @NBCSports ? It's actually painful to listen to 20+ minutes of hero worship when there's an actual game going on. This actually is terrible to listen to.
