Tremendous effort from the USA, Robus and Mich you can be very proud of them, no longer can they be considered a second rate footballing nation.

Thanks Plater and all. I think we have a ways to go. To be honest I don't see us challenging the great powers of football anytime soon. But it was good to see them playing with determination and heart. And the fans! I could feel the atmosphere right through the TV.

Hard to think of an international I've enjoyed more than that.

The USA team put our lot to shame with their commitment, passion, effort and stamina.

Hard to put into words how I feel after that match. Belgium deserved to win no doubt, but gotta be proud of how hard we played. Alot of last gasp blocks and tackles from our back four and Howard stood on his head.

Pretty optimistic about the direction Klinsmann is taking us. Almost every sub and personnel decision he made during the WC worked. Yedlin, Green, and Brooks got some very valuable experience and all will hopefully be playing in the 2016 Olympics as well. Lots to be excited about.
