00:00For one last night, the score actually isn't indicative of how lopsided the game was.
00:08That was completely one sided from the get go.
00:11That was one sided.
00:13It was all Belgium.
00:15And I mean, it was all Belgium and Team USA.
00:18I don't think Team USA should hold their heads down and really be angry, except for the mistakes that they
00:27made.
00:27Because when you go play a higher caliber of opponent, you have to be perfect.
00:34You can't make sloppy mistakes.
00:36You can't forget how to mark somebody on the back end.
00:39You can't forget guys are making runs and whiff on balls that you need to clear.
00:44You can't get caught not being able to communicate with your teammate about who is taking whom and what ball
00:52is whom.
00:53And Belgium just was on it last night.
00:55They were better in almost every facet.
00:59They were just the better soccer team.
01:02And when you lose to a better soccer team, I don't think you can be too angry about this.
01:07Yes, Tillman's goal was pretty impressive.
01:09The 31st minute right on top of the 18 over the wall, deflecting off of a guy's head into the
01:17back of the net.
01:18It was a break.
01:19It was a lucky break for Team USA.
01:21Otherwise, they would have been blanked for nothing.
01:23Tillman became the first player in over 40 years to score on two direct free kicks in a World Cup.
01:30Pretty impressive.
01:31But then Belgium came right back.
01:33It was 2-1.
01:34And you felt like, okay, maybe Team USA is going to have something.
01:39Maybe Team USA is going to...
01:40Then, bam, 3-1.
01:42And that was it.
01:43I mean, that was it.
01:44Once it went to 3-1, it was over.
01:47Matt Freese was not good.
01:48Like, he was just...
01:50I don't know what he was doing when he came out trying to make a play on the ball.
01:55You either have to take the guy out and just go ahead and guarantee that there's going to be a
02:00free kick, but you stop the ball from going in.
02:03Or you kick the ball and just let it go.
02:05I don't know why he froze.
02:07Not to make a joke, but Matt Freese froze.
02:10He didn't kick the ball.
02:11Like, he just...
02:11I don't know what he was doing there.
02:13It was this complete avalanche of errors for Team USA.
02:19And I understand that people are starting to want to assign blame.
02:25I get it.
02:26Like, somebody has to be to blame for this, right?
02:28It can't just be that Team USA got smoked.
02:31Like, it can't just be that Team USA wasn't good enough.
02:35So, someone has to blame, right?
02:36So, okay.
02:37So, because Trump got involved, that's why we lost.
02:41No.
02:41Okay?
02:42I'm not going to buy that.
02:44What happened was one team is a top 10 team in the world, and the other one is not.
02:51Christian Pulisic is supposed to be the best soccer player on that roster.
02:56And he was great against Paraguay.
02:59He was great in some of the earlier matchups.
03:02But you need your best players in your biggest games to be at their best.
03:07And that guy gets hurt too much.
03:10Like, we spend all this time hyping the guy up.
03:12Did he blow my name?
