<![CDATA[World Cup]]>Looks like the USA got a great group draw.

Paraguay, Australia and the winner of a three-team playoff.

The Australians aren’t a pushover, but all our games are winnable.

I hear others saying England is in the group of death, but I don’t see any really crazy groups.

Either Egypt is really good in transition or Argentina defense is abysmal defending it. I am not as knowledgeable in soccer as some of you are, so I would be interested in what you think.

Pretty bad look

Egypt scored their second goal which was disallowed because of a foul that had occurred at the other end of the pitch that was not called in the moment playing Argentina, but reversed by VAR.

Pretty clear chip on their shoulder. Had Trump known anything about soccer he'd have kept his mouth shut because you don't give motivation to a favorite. It's like KU basketball giving Houston bulletin board material. WE could have had the chip on our shoulder because we were playing without Balogun.

After the final whistle blew, Belgium soccer's official X account published a post with an image of their players celebrating alongside a two-word caption: "Overturn this."

Played like high school kids up against Argentina. Something wasn't right. They played scared and tentative. Basic errors as @wissox83 said.

Player ratings are gonna be ugly.

Generally an embarrassment today. sigh.

Belgium has won 24 world cup matches and lost 11 and 18 draws. We've got a 12-8-21 record. The experience at a level like this is showing.

We came out very tentative, slow and made many costly mistakes.

It could be the whole red card fiasco.

Belgium did have a nice finish on the 2nd goal but he ran right by our defender ignored goal side defensive principles and it cost us.
