Very disappointing, unorganized on defense, poor & timid passing when in possession. I don’t even know what sub the coach should make because I really can’t point at one player that is playing poorly because nobody is really playing well.
I would substitute France in for the US. That might work.

LOL. Freese's effort to kick that ball looked like one of my golf swings. Holy crap that was BAD.

He's an awful keeper

All the weaknesses are on full display

Playing better this half, but still way too disconnected and loose with the ball

Need one back soon
I can’t remember seeing goalkeeping that bad from the USA. They really need to get that settled. Just embarrassing school yard stuff.

I’ve watched every US WC game since 1990 and that blunder by Freese might be the worst GK flub ever.

Belgium are much deeper than the USA. The value of depth is what you need to go far. USA don’t have it. I thought their starting 11 would be better than this so that is disappointing.

I don't know if I have ever seen a professional soccer just flat out stub their foot into the ground that bad trying to make a kick. He damn near fell flat on his face.

Maybe we all got carried away by the hype. I never believed we should be favored against Belgium but I legitimately thought we would at least look like we were supposed to be here.

The only other GK blunder I can remember even close to that crap is Guzan handling the ball outside the area and getting a straight red but that was the Gold Cup. Straight up trash.

Played tentative and scared almost the entire game. First touches are bad, loosing possession a lot. Defense is awful, and don’t get me started on the goalie crapping the bed. Quit dicking around and launch it. You’re a goalie for a reason.
