Oh no, soccer is not just a game in my country, it's religion ... ;)
And this was one nerve-wracking match, 2:1, but this was so close!

Hee hee - we shall see, Lut, we shall see! ;)
Belgium - USA, now on tv ... :)
OMG, Belgium is really playing very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, much better than in their previous matches.
So many great chances, but no goal yet......! Come on Red Devils, kick that ball where it is supposed to go!!!!!!
Uh oh, 105 minutes, Belgium 2, US 0... On a completely different front, though - the city of Chicago moved the game viewing from the band shell in Grant Park to Soldier Field. Bigger, comes complete with seating and rest rooms, plus it is a lovely day to be on the lakefront watching the game. People in Chicago have definitely gotten into soccer because of the World Cup.
Well, we did manage to score, but only once. Congratulations to Lut and the girls - you kitties will have to root for your team again against Argentina!
YES YES YES !!!!
We did it!!!! It could even have been much more than 2 goals for Belgium!!
Belgium really was the best! This is worldclass!!
Woohooo!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, Belgium. Great effort by the US side, and the goalie! 16 saves is a lot (a record, I believe.)
No shame in our game,
Onward and upward.

In the crowds that gathered to watch, there are a few hundred kids that were doing the math.
2018-2014= Look out world!
Congrats, Lut, I think this was well-deserved. Belgium had the better team last night.
I'm sorry for the US-team, though ... Especially for Jürgen Klinsmann. I hope the way his team played in the tournament was enough to make more American fans realize what a great sport soccer is :)
As far as the German team goes ... I'm prepared for the worst against France on Friday. What they showed in their match vs. Algeria the other day was not very encouraging. Where is the team that defeated Portugal 4:0? :o
