@KnicksMemes His parlay hit

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@MLFootball @MlFootballstats @_MLBasketball Parlay!

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@sololobo254 @Kevinish Freese should know he’s lurking lol. He came out of goal because he saw the Belgian player was likely getting to the long ball first. Unless he thought the Belgian was gonna keep running towards goal for no reason lol

@Kevinish Matt Freese’s parlay hit

@AndyFrancess @parallelcircle @GentlemanMashr He’s not right on the amount of points South Korea had but he’s right that the US needed SK to win. Portugal had a greater goal differential and only needed a draw since US no showed vs Poland. Game was over after 10 mins. It was like US vs Czechs in 2006

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@EinSchwarzwelt They didn’t show up vs Poland when they needed a draw to ensure R16 qualification. They were out hustled to everything. Game was over after 10 mins. Very lucky Portugal went down to 10 men vs South Korea

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@AndyFrancess @EinSchwarzwelt They were a shadow of Euro team. Figo missed 2 months in the lead up to the WC with an ankle injury and was being subbed in the semi and final of the CL. Rui Costa same story. Missed the final month of the season, got benched after US and didn’t even play final group game

@UnfilteredSoccr @TimHowardGK What new heights

They beat the teams they should’ve beaten

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@RMaq28 @spadoni_joe So the US was relying on set pieces to score goals vs Belgium in 2014 as they were being outplayed and outclassed.

That story sounds familiar to 2026

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@TJebjc @spadoni_joe Fr Belgium was far better. The missed chance gets more attention than the fact that Belgium ran circles around the US.

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@spadoni_joe Belgium destroyed the US this game. The gap in quality was far too large. Going to extra time was a flattering result and a moral victory.

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@townbrad Further than ever I’d say. The US has improved but that doesn’t say much. Why? The elite are improving at a greater rate than the US so the bar keeps moving. Also as we’ve seen in the the WC, Euros and champions league other nations are outpacing US improvement

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@HolderStephen Not the issue. Cape Verde is improving at a greater rate than the US. Morocco? Forget it. The US is improving at a slow rate

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@FOXSoccer @stuholden No you don’t. Belgium is past its best and not very good. This game showed where the US is

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@FOXSoccer @stuholden Where Twellman when you need him

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@TiredSports @BrettKollmann Oh man Freddy. So much IMG hype. Shit was predictable

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@IcyVert We gotta send back Statue of Liberty to make that deal happen

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@FOXSports You try your best and that’s all that matters

[Pirlo's Beard @PirloBeard]

@TylerCLaRocca Sadly he probably is
