Welcome to Thunderdome

USA! USA!

USA! USA!

We're moving on!

Suck it, roos!

Ecuadors a bunch of whiny bitches. Honestly, too many soccer players are.

Paraguay over Germany? Wow!

Yeah, holy fucking shit. The team we beat 4-0. Rough year for Germany. Rough 3 World Cups for Germany, honestly.

Japan was up 1-0 on Brazil, lost 2-1. Paraguay over Germany; Morocco over the Netherlands... man. What a start.

We play tomorrow at 8 p.m. and are big favorites. Then get the winner of Belgium-Senegal on July 6th.

I think we have a decent chance to get to the round of 8...? But that's where Spain/Portugal will be waiting. I cannot think we'd be favorites from that point forward.

Top 8 would be an amazing finish for the USMNT.

Yes.

England was down 1-0 with 20 minutes left today. Won 2-1.

Wasn't too shocking though as it felt like England was camped out in DRC's zone the whole game.

Let's go USA! Heading to golf in 100 degree weather, and won't get home until the game is in progress.

Yeah, England definitely had the most chances. It was almost like when Japan went 1-0 up on Brazil, but Brazil just kept pressing, whereas Japan barely took another shot.

Senegal up 2-0 on Belize until the 85th minute. Then 2-2 in the 89th. Penalty kick at the end of extra time, lose 3-2.

This ref can eat a bag of dicks. What a bunch of bull-fucking-shit. Every god damned time. Everyone hates the US.

Preach. That was horseshit. Can FIFA overturn that before the next game like our pro leagues can?

Glad we pulled off the W, but Belgium was going to be hard enough. Now we have to beat them without our top scorer and the overall top first half scorer.

Yeah. Going to be rough.

I think we can beat Belgium without Balogun. We have other in-form strikers who can score. Just need 1.

It's our super athletic young midfield that has been tormenting other teams anyway.

Not easy, but doable.

Some of our possession down a man in the second half was a beauty. Just heading the ball to each other in tiny windows and keeping the ball controlled with excellent first touches and dribbles into space. Didn't even recognize the team. NEVER seen them to that against actual competition.

Also, it's time Pulisic, all those chocolate bars, all the hype, all the time being the fancy USA guy whose actually good all the way up to the Champions League. It's time to deliver. You specifically.

Yeah, it's a new era. But... we're still not France.
