And just like that all the host nations being knocked out in the same round. A game with a very heated lead up due to the Balogun suspension. And the game honestly lived up to it. Belgium looked fired up and it’s exactly what i expected of them after all that. Initially surprised Doku didn’t start but maybe Rudi Garcia knows a little bit of ball after all. De Bruyne also benched which is a little strange but he hasnt had the greatest tournament. Shocking mistake from Freese, doing that at 2-1 behind is absolutely insane and completely buried the game for USA. Who wouldve thought that the worst position in USA their team would eventually be the one to kill their hopes and dreams. The whole team have looked quite nervous the entire game, which ultimately led to their downfall too. Ream had a shocking game but he’s also old as fuck so who’s surprised. Huge error for the 1-4 as well, glad Lukaku got his goal that man deserved it for all the slander. First Belgian to score 3+ goals at multiple World Cups now. Dare i say Belgium looked good today, wayyyy better than previous games which is surprising for sure. Still dont like Rudi Garcia though but he had a good plan for today at least. Really unfortunate to see Onana get injured, hope it’s nothing bad but it ain’t looking good. Personally very happy for my southern neighbors, and not because the whole red card situation was bullshit and goes against the integrity of the game, thats just an extra reason lmao. USA has a promising team so im sure they will be even better in 4 years. Man of the match De Ketelaere, brace and an assist I suppose lmao. He played a very good game though, so much better than he was in previous games.
