USA VS Germany

[WizardHawk]

Making it to the round of 16 is huge given the group we were in. Hate getting in on a loss, but getting there is all that counts.

U S A, U S A, U S A moving out of the group of death. Belgium next, lets win one that one

I'm sure it's been mentioned once or twice in this thread, but we looked tired. Gave it our best push after the 1st 15 mins but Manaus took too much out of them and legs were dead after they went down a goal. 5 days now until Belgium. Should be a much fresher team. With a long shot of Jozy being ready.

That last scoring opp we had looked like Yeldin could've gone left corner instead of right and he'd have had a goal. That whole left side looked wide open.

Ah well, we're advancing. We need to rest up and be ready. Our ball possession skills were what worried me this game. Hopefully we get a bit better against Belgium.

Not one team has won after playing in that stadium until Portugal did it today and on top of that we had one less day.of preparation than Germany.

Germany is a great team. We can beat Belgium/Algeria

I don't like that it's called "The Round of Death." Is James Earl Jones doing the play by play for the games, if that's the case? At night, will there be a Death Star?

I'm sorry. The name sounds too nerdy.

Looked very tired.. USA moving on, but very ugly performance.

Probably lucky met Germany in last game rather than first 2 games.

At work and we had 6 people watching it on ESPN live on a laptop in a office room.

Congrats to USMNT. Moving on.

Don't get too bothered by this game. The circumstances of this game wasn't even fair for both sides

Did that to every team that had to play in Manaus.

US moving out of Group Death. Wasn't pretty, but it was enough.

Thanks Ronaldo!

Attention Everyone:

Stop thanking Ronaldo. We didn't need his goal.

 

[ckhokie]

Really proud of this team. They deserved to advance.

Except Portugal...

Need to give each of the players one of those vitamin IVs that all the Hollywood people are getting.

Except Portugal...

I'm sure they'll feel good about that on their plane ride home.

I will thank him because my heart was pounding when it was 1-1 and once I saw his goal, I knew it was done

 

[NickVT10]

I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL W... well lose but still advance!

Go team

Don't know or care about that, but it's a good thing for the US that Portugal was the only team to win after playing there.

 

[beardown07]

Well-deserved advancement. Unquestionably the second best team in the group.

Let's go beat Belgium now.
