I have an odd feeling that Argentina v Belgium is going to be a poor game. Neither team are the sum of their parts in this tournament, and are both struggling their way through.

You have to say, give USA a generation or 2 and with their population and resources they could be a force. Actually SHOULD be a force.

It should be deemed as a failure if they aren't a force.

USA can be mighty proud of their world cup but they don't have the individual brilliance to get much further, still they are way better than England's over hyped bunch.

Glad the mighty spurs are all in the quarters apart from bentelab

That's the most entertaining game of the tournament for me.

Brillant. I know the Holland/Spain game will be a lot of people's choice, but for me that's what the World Cup is all about.

Nope. Decided on Belgium as my 2nd team over a year ago. And they deserved the win.

I disagree they need to make changes to their youth system and league

Having a large population size doesnt guarantee good footballers. Look at Croatia tiny population and yet shit over england imo

Normal time was great. Extra time was the most entertaining half hour of the whole tournament, if not the last several tournaments!

USA can go home with heads held very high.

I fancied Belgium as winners of the WC before it began - it could happen.

USA put England to shame when it comes to pure desire - unbelievable reserves of energy!

Most of the teams in this World Cup have put our lot to shame in every single way. Algeria, USA and Costa Rica, to name but a few, are much better than us.

Best World Cup ever!
