@WRBolen I mean sarcasm obviously but the kid in my was slightly jealous so many first time fans were seeing us ride so high without the history of struggle games the rest of us have endured painfully
You may not want my thoughts on that game
From a seasoned vet…
- Game was built up way too much as was Team USA
- USA got gassed much more than they deserved from a performance standpoint imo
- That feeds Belgium/Other better teams and gives extra motivation you apparently can not come close to matching
- Discredited Belgium heavy for some reason
- No true alpha player tonight. Guys were lazy and watching. Wanting someone else to make the play and be the hero
- They will try to spin this into a major win of a tournament but I didn’t see excellence that we as Americans should truly be proud of
- That goalie’s brain fart set soccer in America back two decades
Saying this is just finally “real competition” is a cop out. The US picked the wrong day to play their worst game. That’s the worst I’d ever seen from Dest.
Belgium isn’t even playing particularly well either. Which makes this more embarrassing
I understand Belgium is better but this looks nothing like the U.S. team over the first 4 games. Urgency is off. First touch is poor. Shape isn’t consistent. It’s good from Belgium but it’s poor from the U.S.
“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.”
“And will we develop a stronger youth program?”
“We will not.”
I just watched England fucking DIE ON THE FIELD on the ROAD at the TOP OF A MOUNTAIN for their country only to see this team play like SCARED CHILDREN at HOME with a BRIBE ADVANTAGE
“A ridiculous red card suspension was overturned. We now have to play against the full American team, it’s not fair.”
— Belgium who was awarded a fake penalty against Senegal a few hours before
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
