World Cup Match Thread- Round of 16 Day 4

[Mr Pink]

Really disappointed by the US performance going forward. They were much better against Ghana and Portugal.

Agree, they havn't been as good tonight in possession.

Still, they've made it an entertaining game.

U.S look knackered

I can't help wonder how much of Belgium's stagnant play is down to the coach. Surely with those players at your disposal you've got to be able to produce something special. Look at teams like Chile and Colombia. The odd top quality player, but mostly average players that are giving everything because of the discipline and work ethic instilled by the coach. Wilmots should be doing so much better with these players.

I've no idea why Fellaini is on that pitch... Dembélé or Chadli would be much better for the situation they are in.

He is nowhere near as good as most of his team mates. His goal in the group stages got him the starts. He so slow in possession. He'd be better coming on, going route one if they were losing.

Not surprised. They had to travel 8000 miles and played in the jungle. Belgium has traveled 1200 miles.

They can't still be jetlagged!

My left nut with a smiley face drawn on it would be an improvement on Fellaini at the moment. He kills any attacking move Belgium makes.

I swear he was good at Everton. Hasn't even looked like a footballer over the past 12 months.

 

[thinktank]

Pass.

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah USA have disappointed in possession tonight, they're better than this. But can't remember who insisted that Belgium would batter them, was never going to happen.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Pass.

Why are you playing Mastermind when this is such a good game?

Never been good at geography outside their own borders have they

 

[Syn_13]

Great play by Origi.

 

[leonspurs]

good save

 

[gushayes11]

Should have scored.

 

[DuDe]

Howard The Hero again.

 

[King of Otters]

That was classy from Origi tbf.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Excellent Mirallas and great save from Howard too!

 

[thinktank]

Lovely reverse by origi, perfect pace on it.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Frustrating game... neither side knows how to score. Like watching the Championship.
