The US survived the group of death. Raise your hand if you called that at the beginning if the Cup. If you raised your hand you are a lying bastard. I didn't call it but I believed that they could. I could've chosen just about any team to support since mine (Ireland) wasn't in it and I went with the USA. Now I get to keep the US flag in my window for a few more days yet while all the England ones around are down.

I was born in Mexico and moved to America when I was 2. So it's glad to see both my teams left. Ochoa is playing amazing. Both games are gonna be hard- Netherlands and Belgium are both very good

I am not gonna hold my breath in this round for us Yanks. I would legit cry if we advanced because the sport means so much to me and I am an annoying nationalist. If they advanced from the group of death though, well...a miracle occurred. Hope the Cinderella story keeps turning pages. As a TRUE football fan...I hope. Haha.

I've been saying they are going to win every game they're in. They were all pretty close, at least by the scores. A tie and a 1-0 lose, that's pretty damn close to three wins (even though Germany technically killed, one lucky bounce and anything could happen with that margin.) But I think they are losing Tuesday.

Ive watched the last 10-15 minutes and again, the entire game (that ive seen) has been played on the US side of the field. Belgium is gonna score late with all these chances and US wont have a shot.

It's actually been a very back and forth game. Belgium have had the better chances but the US are getting down the wings just as well. Just missing the final finishing touch though. The US defence has been the best I've seen in any game so far though. Do not deserve to concede.

Its nice for the USA to all be able to join together to support a national team at a major sporting event. Doesn't happen with any other major sport in the USA to my knowledge, outside of the Olympics (which is different as its mostly a bunch of small sports rather than one big sport).

One minute given. Absolute horsesh*t in added time. Dick refs screwed us with that.

I've watched games with like 5 minutes added on and I've had no idea where they got those 5 minutes from. Even the recent extra time games have had 2/3. They did well to reach this round but Belgium are beatable and almost were. Penalties would've been the fairest outcome in this match.

Holland won! Damn, I didn't think they were going to survive through the penalty kicks. I really hope they get to win the cup this year. But how brutal was that Colombia/Brazil game? Did the ref lose his yellow cards? I've seen some bad flopping & awful acting. But to break a guy's back? Zuniga needs to be fined, thrown out of the sport & get possible jail time.

Just an utter humiliation especially since they were the host team.
