ain't ever going 2 happen BUT if the yanks put soccer as no.1 ahead of NFL MLB & NBA they'd win a WC within 20yrs

"Like watching a premier league game" ----------------------------------------------- ....flicking channels here, did someone actually say that?!! |

Why of why does every pundit so obsessed with the "number 10 role".

That save from Courtois. Outstanding.

After watching all the last 16 games there is no clear favourite. Everyone of the 8 teams left have a good chance of winning the tournament.

the scenes in american cities before the games has been superb.
nothing like that was going on in england? |

Yanks have done brilliantly , but they have their own sports and it should stay that way - they are proud of their sports and heritage - although those t0ssers at the BBC, lineker,Waddle ,Shearer seem to overlook this
it's not for Europe,SouthAm to dictate what they should enjoy ![]() they give us a very good run at football the would slaughter us at baseball and ice hockey |

The patronising comments coming form the so called "experts" is a disgrace.

|
By:
"brazil more like"
LOL. I think you could be right. Fancy Colombia to take care of them. |
|
By:
they're gonna have 2 play v well 4 that not 2 happen!
|
|
By:
absolutely macca
and yes - Brazil don't look that great either |
|
By:
don't usually like Rio but he is spot on about the defending on show at this WC.
Strong defence probably more important that strong attack in winning a WC Teams with strong defence : Belgium, France, Colombia Teams with not-so-good defence: Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Costa Rica, Holland, |
|
By:
Belgian defence is excellent. They could win them the World Cup.
|

By:
People who say they "I will eat my hat" shouldn't be allowed to eat their OWN hat, it may for example be made of doritos, or cheese.
They should be made to eat someone ELSES hat. My hat is made from cat sh*t, some pen lids I found down the back of the sofa, and asbestos. Eat that, hyperbolic LIARS. |
|
By:
the belgian defence was all over the place in the limited times that the yanks came anywhere near their box.
they have no chance of winning imo. |
|
By:
Kompany is a bombscare at the top level and his partner was not much better.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Belgian defence wasn't too clever in second half of extra time.
Were crumbling when put under pressure. |
|
By:
USA have not surprised me tbh ,they have a unique style and play to there strength and have more than held their own in a tough section for world cups for a long time ,they get it tight in south America and no easy games ,it breeds toughness and character . But don't forget they are a huge country in their own right and also draw on duel nationality ,it needs tightened as in the future the likes of Costa Rica ect will not be able to compete .
Me thinks the fifa will be stroking after that ,mission accomplished . Belgium done well and could be more to come although the extra 30 was unnecessary . |

By:
Kompany a bombscare
![]() |
|
By:
Yep USA team is a mirror image of their MLS teams.
|
|
By:
Kompany was rock solid. The two full backs Vertongen and Alderweireld were very poor defensively.
|
|
By:
Kompany is class
Van Buyten huge experience ex-Bayern Munich Full backs are Ok Keeper is top notch I just look at the other teams and apart from France, their defences seem weak in comparison |
|
By:
have never rated Kompany, he is fine playing the dross in the english league,
he has been a nightmare in the CL and he was rank defensively tonight, he did have a great run forward before sclaffing the ball wide. |

who do you rate as a defencer?, Aberdonia

he is a decent defender who has been found out when playing in europe's top competition. we will see who is right when he plays against Argentina. |
