I had high hopes coming into this game but the US were humbled hard by Belgium just like facing the Netherlands last knockouts the US made it to. This US performance was more of what I was expecting for the team at this point in time. In the games leading up to the WC the US seemed disjointed and like players weren't their usual selves. In the groups it was the opposite but now a regression back to the mean. We are slowly improving as a footballing nation but are still severely behind pretty much all the big European teams still.
