Gregg’s team would have scored late to tie Paraguay and we would have slid into the knockout stage because of someone else’s result
quote:

Belgium is a top 10 ranked team in the world. They're #9. US is ranked 17th. We were the underdogs tonight, not them.
Belgium is better and dominated us last night, but every single goal was a pretty inexcusable, self inflicted wound. The first was a pretty standard opportunity to clear that we missed and then 3 guys standing and watching a cross right in front of the goal. The second, two defenders in position get beat to a header right in front of the goal. The third and fourth were just total embarrassments of poor play.

That’s really the more deflating part. Belgium, while a quality opponent, is still a step or at least half step below Spain, France, Argentina, Netherlands, etc.

We are confidently a top 15-20 team, but still miles away from a top 10 team.

This performance was on par with Gregg
But Gregg’s teams gave this level of performance on a much more consistent basis. There is improvement under Poch, just not to the level we needed to beat a top 10-12 team. I don’t think we’ll have better options.
Most talented player on the team, but he’s soft as baby shite, whines too much, is a bit off a prima Donna and shrinks from big moments.

The team reflects that a bit.
Honestly, that final score is more fitting for what the action was.
Really controlling the possession in stoppage time though
quote:

Celebrating a miss like we just pulled back a goal, the frick is this weak shite
He wasn’t celebrating, he was trying to get everyone back in the game instead of giving up
quote:

We've only taken 3 shots??
We can’t connect on two consecutive forward passes
That was embarrassing by Freese who lived up to his name there
quote:

That was a big WTF. Dude got manhandled and didn't put up a fight.
Got caught watching on the first goal too. He’s been really good this tournament, but has been exposed tonight
quote:

With how physical Belgium have been, he’d lose the ball every time.
At least it would be someone different losing the ball every time
quote:

Robinson is the only player who’s putting in effort
I wouldn’t congratulate anyone on their first half play, but he doesn’t look scared or out of sorts like just about everyone else
quote:

Dest McKennie Freeman Richards All these guys are assing it up and need a frickin wake up call
Lucky to be down just 1. Dest has to be replaced at half.
Robinson is the only player that looks comfortable and confident
He may not be passing worth a shite, but that was erotic
quote:

Freeman is playing like garbage. Keeps giving the ball away with bad passes.
Trying to out do Weston’s bad passes
