State of this

I am completely baffled by this "sport". The goal is the size of a fuckin house but somehow 1-0 is considered a blowout. Hockey has a goal the size of a goat and a goalie the size of a car but scores are typically like 2-4. How the fuck do you not manage to hit the broad side of a barn with a ball? I'm starting to think the theory that soccer is only popular because it's the only sport poor people can play is true. Haaland is cool though.

The US had a better run compared to its many previous attempts at getting through the Group Stage, so them losing to Belgium seems fair at this point of the competition imo.

I googled Matt freese after the goal and this came up.

He’s gonna be ridiculed for years over that stupid gift to Belgium. The game is over.

He turned a not ideal situation but one that the team could equalize and get back into an unsalvageable situation. 2nd half, got about 30-35 minutes, just need to score one goal and its even again. What was he even trying to do there. Amateur hour. The mental side of knowing you have 30 minutes to get 2 goals but are also very susceptible to counterattacks if you fuck up is hard to get past.

The defense really sucked, and I think even if we got Mexico level accommodations, we still would have lost. I’d actually be embarrassed if we were only able to win with Mexico style tactics. You may as well forfeit the tournament in shame stooping to that level.

Deer in headlights look from the defence on some of those. First one they are all standing in a line watching the Belgian team get in the box and line up a pass to sink it in. No one is being marked, no one is testing the guy really.

Belgium's been shit all tournament but you made them look like it was 2018 again

Honestly, Last 16 is a good result for USA, but you had such an opportunity to do QF and you blew it along with any goodwill the team had accrued. Better luck next time

I don't care about the US losing as the US always loses at soccer because it's a D-tier sport that no one athletic cares about (which is why the star player is a birthright citizen with no ties to the country).

Seeing the Mexicans lose made me happy because I'm imagining the spics who wore their real country's jersey to 4th of July celebrations crying and smashing their TVs.

The best part about the tournament is that Asians and middle-class Europeans have finally learned how awesome American culture is (the Japanese finally got to taste their beloved Texas Barbecue and the Euros finally discovered how nice it is to have A/C).

Regardless of what happens today, Messi deserves at least one more goal. Just to know Ronaldo will be seething for the rest of his life.

Best result for me personally is Messi scoring at least 1 goal today, leading to Argentina winning the match against Egypt just for them to get BTFOd by England, resulting in mass riots and the toppling of the Argentinian government.

As an Argentinian, I'll overlook your seething outburst. Unfortunately, you're wrong because you have the wrong bracket. Should Argentina win today, it's either Colombia or Switzerland.

I think he was already counting with Argentina defeating either, then is between Norway and Engerland, and I can't wait for Haaland to rape Argentina.
