Pretty dire performance from the #USMNT against a Belgium side that had not impressed anyone all tournament.
Opened with a lack of energy and then were both individually and collectively outclassed. So many misplaced passes.
Roster weak spots were definitely felt. Freese might be the best on the roster but a historical position of strength is now a weakness. Ream, normally steady, had a s…

Balogun being available for the Belgium match MASSIVELY boosts the #USMNT chances to advance.
Let's be honest, it was such a ridiculous decision to VAR a common foul into a straight red card, that even FIFA coudn't abide the injustice. When you are so lost that even FIFA seems reasonable and fair? 😬

This USMNT did not need the Trump Card
Shameful FIFA

Boom

All or nothing press up top got caught out and the driving run by Balogun causes the OG. Great start for the #USMNT

I’ve never seen a referee handing out yellow cards like a priest sprinkling holy water

Goals (Freeman and OG) notwithstanding, McKinnie or Richards are my MOTM candidates for total contributions. Both were stellar.
Qualified for the knockout round and look likely to win group D. 👏

I will admit that was tepid on the hiring of Pochettino, but he has found the right formation and has maximized the collective strength of the squad. Getting back some players from injury has certainly helped as well.
How far the #USMNT can go wholly depends on matchups. This is not a team than can play out of possession and defend for large stretches. There are still holes to cover.

watching on delay....this ref has lost control of the game

A host country always has a bit more energy, but my god the #USMNT work rate is incredible. Out of possession, they are closing down Paraguay and turning them right back over. Dream start.

Two gorgeous passes, the first even better than the assist.
This formation is the absolutely the right setup for #USMNT

Gio moved just laterally enough to drag the defenders into unsighting the keeper. 🧠 Then a tasty, tasty outside of the boot finish. 🧑‍🍳

What a gorgeous step through by Balogun, followed by a decisive cut back and cool finish! 🤩
But fortunate in the tackle’s bounce, but he won’t care.

My son, on seeing two yellow cards after 80-ish minutes without: “He’s broken the seal…”

Poch needs to instruct the squad to rotate their shin guards to the back of their calves. Referee not cracking down on late cynical challenges. A bit chippy.
If memory serves, the last head to head had a fight in stoppage time.

watching the game on delay...
slo mo replay really gives away the idiotic "oh I'm so hurt" reactions of the game.
That and physically planting and jumping off the foot you now claim is totally irretrievably damaged...and then jump up and argue with the ref about it.

The US announcer trying to emulate the GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL calls is pathetic.

#WorldCup #Soccer #Football #USMNT
Top notch officiating.
"We misidentified the Yellow Card recipient"
No, No you didn't. You called it on the WRONG DAMNED TEAM.
That said, a yellow card for *a dive* in soccer is something...
...if the next 5 minutes of play didn't contain more than 5 other fake dives.

Not sure this is offside. #USMNT
#USAAUS #worldcup #fedifc

Wasted chance by Balogun. Should have been the dagger.
