USA vs Belgium | 3PM CT | ESPN | Arena Fonte Nova, Salvador, Brazil
Knock out stage. Trying to make the jump from the 16 teams to 8 teams where the winner of this game will play the winner of Argentina vs Switzerland. No ties...someone has to advance. Detailed preview here via Shinguardian. |

I'm not confused. You are a gay man who likes a sport where you lose and advance. Crystal clear.

You've taken more balls to the chin than that US goalie.

I think Jurgen has our team play wide open and possess the ball when we are up against a team that we are (at least) as talented as. But, when we play a team that has superior talent (like Belgium or Germany) we tend to be more defensive and attempt to take our chances on the counter-attack. What's cool is that the number of teams out there that are clearly more talented than we are is shrinking every year. |

It is funny...obviously this was a problem now that we are out of the Cup but...I wouldn't have guessed it was something we would have huge problems with going into Brazil, no?

I'm curious if Bradley was as bad at attacking as so many have said, or if JK was right and being timid is just a trait that the US has to get over.

However it felt like he was playing both tips of the diamond at times. Doing all the work on the back end to try and disrupt defend and stop attacks before they happen but he was also expected to go forward and create havoc...Jermaine Jones took over the roll that we usually see Bradley play. And we can't have both of them going forward and causing problems too much and Bradley was better suited to do the ditch work than Jones was. It was...all such a weird deal and a change up from qualifying. |

For anyone on here around age 30 like me, think about all the kids you knew who were playing soccer in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grades. Every single one I knew had well-off parents. That said, that approach has begun to change. The more that youth soccer academies are going through MLS organizations and U.S. Soccer (both the vision of Klinsmann AND the MLS teams), the more democratized its going to get. |

They don't work on fundamental aspects of their game. Thus you get freak athletes who can make beautiful plays, but they can't shoot free throws for shit, run set plays, or have horrible footwork underneath.
