@MitchMossRadio That wasn't a letdown. Or a bad loss. That was just /very long fart noises/

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

@periodista1492 @ESPNFC yes. Diego Luna would've prevented the USA from losing 4-1.

POLL: How many minutes of USA vs. Belgium do you think Donald Trump watched?

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

@getnickwright You didn't know any of this before your research assistant told you.

Chill, Beeker.

There's a non-0% chance Russillo asks girls on Tinder how much or little they value the first quarter of Game 3.

[Russillo @ryenarussillo]

Gotta turn the page and get Game 2.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

Going through the BetRivers USA-Belgium betting data and lmao there were way too many ppl betting exactly $1,776 on Belgium to win.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

@KyleAndrewTweet *Americans puff out their chest*

/Belgians, acting slightly perturbed/

There’s nothing more American than saying — for four years — that you don’t care about something and that the thing is stupid.

But then — every fourth year — you get mad when we’re not as good as the other good teams.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

Bingo

[Tim Heaney @TeamHeaney]

USA group and Bosnia had nowhere near the major competition experience of Belgium. It was already a bleak potential outlook vs. Spain, but a club that seized momentum even before a player like Doku * came off the bench* was set up to win.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

Belgium is treating the USA the way the USA treated Bosnia, and I think that’s a pretty solid representation of the USA’s place in world soccer.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

Correct. We’re Austria. Or Ecuador. We are who everyone thinks we are.

[Luke Thomas🏋️‍♀️ @lthomasnews]

Basically speaking, the U.S. beats the teams it is supposed to, but loses to the teams it is supposed to. Until the latter changes, this is all it’s ever going to be:

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

USA cannot handle Belgium’s speed or pressure.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

Been saying this since May: aside from the minnows, USA might have the worst goalkeeping room in the tournament.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

OK. So we’re playing a proper soccer team.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

As a fan of print journalism, I too am rooting for the USA Today.

[Matt Leinart @MattLeinartQB]

I’ll be rooting for the USA Today. Can’t believe I’m reading tweets from our own saying they won’t be rooting for our boys!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

@ChildersRadio I don’t think that’s the bigger story. It’s more about American entitlement than fear of USA being good imo.

[Troy Machir @TroyMachir]

78% of the ML money is on USA.
89% of the To Go Through money is on Belgium.

The largest current wager is on Belgium to Go Through.
