Winning in the blue uniforms will unlock stars AND stripes 🇺🇸 mode! The last gate before we can start the Miracle On Ice campaign. We win on Monday, Balogun is released from FIFA purgatory, and we travel to Los Angeles on Air Force One where we start the European conquest on July 10th. Culminating in our first World Cup final on July 19th. Do you believe in miracles? 😴
We don’t know how good Spain is in this tournament because they haven’t been challenged yet. In this tournament, The US (because of home field/current form) would be the best side they have faced….to include Portugal. Of the teams left in the tournament, only France has scored more goals than the US. We are firing at the right time and our best player has yet to get on the scoresheet. If we get past Belgium on Monday and face Spain at full strength (with Balo) back…..we have a great chance to host Spain. After that, it would take a few consecutive miracles.
@StanUsmnt Yes, the last team everyone in this tournament, with the exception of France and Argentina, wants to play right now is the US. With the crowds and confidence our team has….at this moment in time, we are world beaters.
@AZDad55@shinguardian They were down a goal and came back to draw, only to loose in the final moment, which in my opinion was a combination of an entree back line/keeper and Trusty unable to walk on his injured ankle. Tho goal came from his side.
@PolymarketSport People keep saying this. No, the world saw a “blip” on a graphic and we are expected to believe that it proves that the ball was touched. Despite not changing direction or spin on the ball.
Why would anyone say, “of course I believe that he touched it.” Will it be years or months before we learn that someone can affect the chip to detect movement (another way to match fix). That level of technology that literally can’t be verified by a million human eyes in slow motion does not belong in soccer. Silliness!
Spain full strength is elite, but a one-off knockout game isn’t “over early.” The US has home advantage in 2026, momentum, more depth than past tournaments, and has competed with top sides before. Knockouts reward whoever shows up that day—plenty of “superior” teams have gone out early.
@AlexiLalas South Africa was playing poorly the entire match. I hope opening up the World Cup to more teams isn’t gonna lower the quality of the games I could do today.
