    What a game. If there were ever a game to show what a fantastic sport football is, this was it.

    I'm not going to say we didn't deserve to win, because we did, but kudos to the US for wanting to play. And your goalie is top.

    Worthy adversaries, you were a joy to play against.

    Hope to see you back on the next World Cup.

    That was such an amazing game. In the end, I really wanted the US to score another goal and was sort of sad when they didn't. Really exciting to watch.

    Watched the US-Belgium game today, so disappointed, but it was a great match. We were all about to walk away defeated when it was 2-0, then we scored, and we got all riled up again. Pity that ref only gave us one extra minute, that was total BS. Still walked away with pride though. Then I went on to sit for a very long and rather boring baseball game which made the WC game even more exciting.

    EDIT: Howard really deserved a better team, he was amazing today.

    Awesome game, both teams were great. I am sorry for the Americans that they got knocked out, but next WC they will probably be even better.

    Congrats zuiderbuurtjes :)

    well, I suppose it was inevitable though: the US' performance has improved considerably, but they still aren't exactly top tier yet. Maybe in a year or two.

    I was stunned that Howard did as well as he did. US defense was far too porous and they put way too much on his shoulders. That he stopped as many as he did was amazing. Regrettably, the better team won, drat them.

    Yeah, people are celebrating how many shots he prevented, but really, Belgium shouldn't have been able to get so many shots in the first place.

    Beautiful match last night, Howard was a wall and Lukaku is a tank.

    Kompany, well, that's an entire tower.

    Even when we don't care about a sport, our players are breaking records (Howard is a beast). Have not watched anything because of my principles, but I am happy the US is becoming more dominant in the one sport that the rest of the world seems to care about the most.

    It was expected, but there were positives for the Americans.

    And, more importantly, it's not truly a World Cup when Serbia isn't playing, so it doesn't really matter who's gonna win.

    Certainly a long way to go before they can really compete, but I hope the US performance get you guys more interested. I am impressed to say the least, not just by the game but also the chivalry. Good lads.

    Here's an interesting article for all those Americans who are saddened by the loss:

    I will also second the recommendation for Grolsch that one of the commenters makes.

    Oh yeah, Fragony has already convinced me to root for the Dutch.

    And I am very excited for the France/Germany game tomorrow!

    He forgot the most important reason, the Dutch love the American people. That's rather rare.

    Brazil - Columbia was much better. Rooted for the Columbians but, sadly, no upset.

    Interestingly, all 4 goals today from dead ball situations. Me not like that, even though David Luiz scored a great one.

    It doesn't really matters, Frags, because as we know from Euro 2008 and 2012 and WC 2010, no country that recognized Kosovo can win a major football tournament. So, Dutchland, Costa Rica and Germany can't win. It's gonna be either Brazil or Argentina. If you know what's good for you, you'll withdraw recognition as soon as possible. It's the only way you stand a chance.

    Victory through russian roulette, how shameful for the dutch team.

    I really want them to win a world cup some time but it would be nice if they actually earn it...

    I can't be sold into rooting for the swamp Germans as much as I enjoy Frags and Husar. I'll probably back the Brazilians now since the Neymar guy was so young with so much riding for his country's lousy team that it's kind of wretched and underdog worthy. plus the Germans seem like the Yankees of soccer in the states, lots of band wagoners.

    I think we have the best papers now, Costa Rica is who we feared most. Be a good girl and support us instead. This Brazil ain't the Brazil it used to be. You is girl, we got flowers.

    I'd very much like to see an ARG vs GER final with ARG winning, because I remember the '90 final too well... But it looks like the Germans are bound for the cup, whoever the runner up will be.
