[quote name="KingPG21" post="71955" timestamp="1403805280"]Well at least we're moving on. Kind of low expectations against Belgium. [/quote]

I'm really green with World cup stuff, but why do we play them?

I don't think Belgium is a huge obstacle. I think we could pull it out with the way we are playing (today wasn't great, but we know we can play with the big boys). I think the hardest part will be if we beat Belgium and have to face Argentina. That'll be fun :) just glad we're through in 2 consecutive world cups.

They are going to win group H. And since we came in second place in group G, we play the winner of Group H.

US played Belgium and lose 4-2 last May.  Obviously a lot has happend since then, but here's a quick video showing the game for those interested.

Yes. But hopefully Jozy returns to keep Belgium honest.

If Belgium loses and Algeria wins, suddenly the U.S. is playing Algeria and Belgium faces Germany. Dangerous decisions by Belgium.

[Banksyrules 5,296]

Yeah! When depart the group of death a victor , u gain respect from the world. I've chatted with a couple of British friends and they even acknowledge us as legit. British don't admit anything .

The only thing I could think of is if he was re-evaluated after the game from that collision he had with Bedoya. But I haven't heard or read anything new on that matter.

Yeah I don't know where that came from either. I missed the last 10 minutes, but I didn't see him pick up a yellow today.

I hope not.....he looked back to normals after that and was sprinting around hustling....
