Briefly freeze-framed: US keeper hands Belgium a howler!

The World Cup hosts from the USA are handing out plenty of gifts in the round of 16 against Belgium.

The defense already looked pretty catastrophic for Charles De Ketelaere’s first two goals.



However, Belgium’s 3-1 goal was the bittersweet cherry on top for the Americans: after a simple long ball, goalkeeper Matthew Freese rushed aimlessly out of his box, but still got to the ball first.


But instead of clearing it away, he hesitated far too long and allowed the impressive De Ketelaere to block him. Midfielder Hans Vanaken then pounced on the loose ball and rolled it into the completely deserted US net from around 30 meters out. Center-back Tim Ream was also unable to clear it.

Belgium are truly being served a quarter-final place here on a silver platter...
