Trash defense from the very first minute. How the fuck did USA make it this far?

[poppabk]

So we reach the Europe vs South America part of the tournament. Well also Morocco.

 

[Varteras]

 

[clarky]

We now enter the final 10

I feel happy my country made it this far

Final ten? It's still the last 16, then it will be the quarter finals. Maybe when you reach those the sport will blow up, you boys love a good quarter.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Damn why does the POV cut off before the ref doubles over and falls to the ground in laughter?

 

[Represent.]

lmfao the highlights are hilarious

Peewee level defending from USA

There's 10 countries left

And if we go in order from the schedule, America just placed 11th.

It's cooler this way than to say they all tied for 16th - 9th

 

[Mattdaddy]

Im making England my new team cause I've had fun watching and dont want to stop but I need some investment.

That Mexico game was sick and that Bellingham guy looks nasty.

It doesn't work like that. Just because portugal went out earlier they didn't finish 12th. Come on man.

You got to the last 16. That's not bad.

If you like years of self harming and pain I can highly recommend you do!

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Unfortunate, fellas. And now only one Anglosphere team left.

 

[Varteras]

Yes. I absolutely intend to meme on my own country. I'm a patriot. I'm also a ruthless asshole when my team screws the pooch

No-one should voluntarily choose England for their team. You have to be born into the heartache.

That's just the way the cookie crumbles, my friend *pat pat*

They all didn't play at the same time

You can't convince that Canada is tied with US despite one played days ago and lost first

I need a drink.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Welp, back to not giving a shit about this terrible sport for another 4 years

 

[poppabk]

It is unfortunate that the one really world class player the US has didn't seem fit the whole tournament.

 

[bender]

I turned into the World Cup for the first time this literary happened in the first 45 seconds. Soccer, not even once.

Nah. Time to pick a team still in it. These guys have been fantastic guests. Let's stay warm about it and cheer for them.

 

[Idleyes]

Revenge teams. Spain, France or Norway. LETS GOO!!!!!!!

Ball don't lie kinda game.
Starting tomorrow, 100 percent tariffs on goods from Belgium.

Hey man not my first choice either, I would have pivoted to a Subsaharan team but they got colonized as per usual. So it's Elton John and Crumpets for me! Aaaand I guess that's why they call it... the blues....

 

[EviLore]

Our goalie is a Harvard alum? Why are you running out to midfield to dribble the ball around, genius

 

[DeepEnigma]

I don't want to play with you anymore, USA. You played like doo doo.

Norway is my new team now for the WC

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Trash defense from the very first minute. How the fuck did USA make it this far?

To be honest, their opponents they played against were far from good.
Beat Australia, Paraguay and Bosnia. Lost against Turkey (both had nothing to play for).
Just a full on fraudulent team.

We both know his parents had money. Nothing to do with intellect.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

LOL everything Trump touches turns to shit. Even Balogun played like shit with all that Trump's effort to overturn his red card

Clearly.

BTW, I know our non-American friends aren't big fans of the hydration breaks and all that... but I don't think you understand how we Americans have suffered to watch these matches.

This fucking commercial is aired every single ad break:


What the fuck is this shit? People were paid to make it?

EVERY SINGLE AD BREAK

Just saw the second half highlights as I stepped out. Yikes on the goalie giveaway.

And most of Americans thought Belgium was going to be an easy game just because it's not a well known European soccer nation. Typical Americans who barely know any thing about soccer except Messi and Ronaldo, all yapping and no action. That overconfidence is just cringy af at this point.

This is just one more to the record for Belgium.

Might as well become the Microsoft Gaming of football: if you can't develop talent, just buy everyone else's. It won't end well, but it's better than grabbing talent from random sports.

IDK about that.

Careful of the algo zeitgeist.

Canada only got to play 2 home games/ Would have loved to see us get at least one more. Unfair.

USA had 11 home stadiums and played like ass cheeks
