Routing for Belgium with Courtois and Hazard in the side.

It didn't start particularly well for the Belgians either.

US look far more vulnerable on the counter than I thought.I thought they'd be more cautious.

Lack of possession is worrying. Bring on Yedlin! I love this kid.

tulip For me it's about who will be most able to knock out the Argies (probably neither). I will make my decision during the game.


I've decided on Belgium as most likely, sorry US supporters. I am a woman, so reserve the right to change my mind.

Why do Belgium have a naughty child on the pitch in their number 7 shirt?

Belgium could be on top if they put a bit of effort in. There's very little energy when they go forward.

The Belgians clearly have more quality, but there's more urgency when the Yanks get forward. A rocket up the Belgian's arses at half time should see them win this.

Belgium should be on top. Worst half of football the US has played in this tournament. I know why Klinsmann decided to start Cameron in the midfield, his height to help against a very big Belgium side, but we're missing Beckerman. We actually looked more threatening once Yedlin had to come on for an injured Johnson. The young man has speed to burn. Let's see what tactical changes Klinsmann makes at half time...

I haven't felt this much Belgian pressure since I unwisely went for that third waffle at the buffet.

We can't hold the ball for more than 15 seconds at a time.

Can we call a timeout? :p

Was hoping for more from the US so far.

Fingers crossed for a storming end

Howard is having a blinding game! 4 or 5 key saves now. Really impressed with the right back DeAndre Yeldrin as well. 20 years old but looks an old pro, very quick and direct and good on the ball

Belgians are really turning the screw now. Some of the Americans look exhausted particularly the midfield.

Would have been a shocker had that US chance gone in and been ruled offside. Shocking lion decision !
