There is a lot of anger and derision directed at the @USMNT today. I don’t share it. They were outmatched against Belgium but the tournament was far from a failure. Winning with 10 men was a triumph against Bosnia. They looked magical against Paraguay in the opener. They are loaded with talent. It was a hard and disappointing exit but 47 teams will ultimately do the same. Thank you for the ride. @ussoccer

That Quansan tackle is a perfect example of a reckless challenge with studs up. There's no analogy between that and Balogun unknowingly stepping on Muharemovic's ankle while trying to regain his footing after Muharemovic knocked him off balance with a challenge.

[Jeff Eisenband @JeffEisenband]

“Sir, can U.S. Soccer appeal the red card?”

“No, they cannot.”

“So how is Folarin Balogun cleared to play?”

“Nobody knows.”

Imagine being stuck in Taylor Swift’s wedding and not being able to watch Argentina vs Cape Verde. That’s why I declined the invite

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

As @rogbennett puts it, Cape Verde is one of the most valiant performances in the history of the World Cup. The world will forever remember this team, this performance. Nothing but love and respect 🇨🇻

How would you rate Mauricio Pochettino's wind-up? 😅

He threw a bullpen session ahead of tossing out the first pitch tonight in Seattle ⚾️

[Stuart Rockoff @sturockoff]

@Brother_Rogers Not to mention pitch, nil, and football!

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Pretty hilarious to be seeing this anti-birthright citizenship rage as we watch Flo Balogun rocket the US team through this World Cup.

[nxthompson @nxthompson]

Things we learned tonight:

This USMNT has serious heart.

Whatever they paid Pocchetino under the table was worth it.

Tim Ream is actually good.

That ref sucks

Belgium should worry.

Sorry small town America, Trump’s keeping the 250 money all for himself.

We’re healthy & ready for the knockouts. Let’s get it

[Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch]

This South Africa-Korea game has been great. If you are looking for something to watch, it's about to get really great.

[Sun Min Kimes @sunminkimes]

We may play against each other, but we are one world in this beautiful game
