Thrilling match though. They deserved the equaliser for that free kick routine.

Another great game. Best World Cup I've seen so far.

My favourite game of the tournament so far. Both teams went for it; open attacking football. End to end action. Plenty of chances.

America's best player's their goalkeeper, but despite that and the stick I constantly give them they put out a really good show there. Belgium just have the quality in one or two players that America don't. They can't bring on a Miralles or a Lukaku.

But to their credit they try 100% and despite not having the most technically gifted players make up for it with their work ethic and determination.

On a side note, thought the stick Fellaini was getting from that jobber Danny Murphy was uncalled for. He doesn't play a glamorous role, and he's not a glamorous player but his contributions often go unnoticed.

That was one of the most entertaining matches thus far. Really unlucky for the USA, who can certainly hold their heads up high for that performance.

Agreed Manky, determination & grit can only get you so far. Eventually you'll come up against a better side, just one game too far for the US.

Worried about Argentina after their performance earlier tbh. I think that Brazil and Columbia will be a great match.
