I know what I said before about getting to the next round any way possible. I meant it at the time for real, but the bottom line is that that was the softest fucking thing I've ever seen. How stupid do you think USA fans look celebrating that loss? Obviously this is huge for USA Soccer cause they've never advanced to the knockout round two years in a row. So that's pretty sweet and i'm proud of that. But we as a nation cannot be on twitter shitting on Germany who basically just soccered circles around us for 90+ minutes. That's not a good look, America.
Backing in is never a good feeling. The only way to make this worth celebrating will be if they can manage a win vs Belgium in the next round. That would make it all worth it. If not, then the USA just basically stole a spot in the round of 16 from a team who actually deserved it. I don't know a whole lot about Belgium, but if they're soccer is as good as their waffles, the boys might have their work cut out for them.
PS: I'm all for having pride and stuff but I feel like if the United States aren't gonna buy into this whole diving thing they might not make it too much further. Look at Germany. True professionals. Scweinsteiger spent more time on the ground than he did on his feet today and look at the result. Big W for his team. I think it's time we stop showing how tough we are by playing with broken noses and concussions and hamstring injuries, and start proving how good we are at soccer by falling down a lot.
