The best teams/players in the world and nobody seems to be able to score a goal.

Maybeez the goalies are getting better or should we make the goals bigger?

Careful or you will be seen as the delc of football.

2-1 with 10 mins to go. If you are not watching then you should be!

Face it, England are a poorer version of the USA at soccer nowadays.

I think this world cup is proving that so-called 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]class nations are closing the gap on the big guns. There is hardly anything in the approach play, with the lesser nations tending to have more chances,if anything. It’s just the finishing of the old guard that is making the difference.

Hope for England yet then.

Match of the tournament so far for me, excellent example of real sportsman, I was kicking and heading every ball in extra time, huge credit to USA, hold your heads up high.

Great game of football.

America have impressed me in the last 2 world cups now, very unlucky but well done Belgium.

So refreshing to see a match played in the right spirit...best game of the tournament by far.

Plus one. USA right back Johnson was brilliant the last few games, but his replacement, Yedlin, was off the scale. Probably earning a grand a week only...

The worry now in the quarters is that the have-a-go teams are out and the games might get boring.

Did anyone else tip Belgium to win the World Cup?

Pity I don't gamble!

I tipped them to do nothing.

They have had a bloody easy passage and the next game is an acid test for them,I may be proved wrong but I just don't see them as having it.Lack of bite in midfield but by hell they created chances last night so who knows.They do also have the best centre back in the world playing for them.

 

[Dodger]

Michael Bradley............how come he doesn't play at a higher level? Been impressed by him and he's still fairly young. Him and Gonzalez too.

He had three years in Italy with Chievo and Roma. Only just returned to MLS

Them and france are teams to watch ................, i think it will be a 1st time a european team will win the world cup over there , never write off the Germans either

I tipped them as the European outside chance. The boss put a few quid on them to reach the final off the back of my expert judgement.

I was impressed by the US. Got out of a hard group and played competitively. Some of their players wouldn't look out of place in the PL

Yedlin? Bradley?

 

[guest100718]

Yedlin? Bradley?

no not those 2, Howard, altidore and couple of others. I think they have a few Bundesliga players too.
