They dont show you everything they block out ther rest of what the commentators are saying. The USA made a score and it should have been 1-1! If you look at the footage there was no reason to void OUR goal. It seems that FIFA expects the US to play a little harder to get our goals.......
I think the USA will dominate countries like Belgium in soccer soon enough. You can see the US MNT grow as a team. Belgium has never really done very well in soccer, they are a team with ego-trippers and very individualistic pleyers. I've never had much respect for our national team (yes I am Belgian). I'm rooting for US MNT and WNT all the way :-) At least they can show some passion and love for the game.
@wolfke1979 What the hell??? Belgium has so much more quality in their team then the USA. If you don't know anything about football you better not speak! Belgium has reached the semi final of the world cup '86 and the finals of the european Championship in '80...many of the teams like Anderlecht,Bruges and Standard have played European cup finals and won...and you say you are Belgian? i'm embarrased in your place...One word for people like you 'idiot'
Mexico made it 2 times to a semi final and why bring Mexico up? this is USA vs Belgium just cause USA sucks so bad at soccer u trying to change the subject ? dont worry the USA will have a good team soon when Hispanics become the majority in the USA like in 20 years maybe less
@DarkSamurai305 2 times to a semifinal in what tournament? I hope you're not referring to the World Cup because Mexico hasn't even passed the quarterfinals. Even Poland has made 3rd place in two world cups. But Mexico, close... but no.
@DarkSamurai305 actually coming from a mexican american, mexico has never made it to th semifinals they've made it to the quarterfinals in 1970 and 1986 when they hosted it. remember el famoso quinto partido.
wow that uber noob stab-in at 1:15 is truly awful haha. who did that? torres? whoever that is belongs on team kiddie kickers. weak defending at 4:10 as well. what happened to Oguchi Oneywu and Jay DeMerit? damn you eddie pope why'd you have to get old?!
THIS WAS A FRIENDLY and the tactics Klinsman employed are perfect for the US. ChILL OUT you uneducted clowns. Torres will soon have Holden, Donovan, Bradley, Jones etc and it will be a whole different team. This is well done by the US, finally taking chances and playing to WIN and not to avoid a loss. Bradley/Torres/Holden all dangerous, tough to decide whom to play, but rotate em. Edu played very well. Torres needs to go to Europe, kid is sick. One problem- PLAY TWO UP TOP.
@IMxYOURxDADDY your pathetic, you have no passion for futball what so ever. its sad to see the usa womens team do WAY much better than the guys. unless u havent noticed mexico is the only team in he concacaf to win an offical FIFA recognized title. 2 world cups U-17 1 confederations cup and 6 times concacaf champions, usa nothing GOODBYE AND ENJOY UR PATHETIC TEAM
@jsprincipe under 17 is nothing. we beat you in the gold cup last time and you beat us this time and not even by much. considering that we beat you guys in every sport and even in just life. Plus we were 2nd in the confederation cup considering how "pathetic we are" we are. hat are you even doing on this page? are YOU so pathetic because of your shame that you had to express it on a page not even related to you? go make me some tortillas and geta life (from a mexican)
Hey there. I think We're a good team. We've beaten spain when it counted and made the final(confed cup). we also made finals at tthe gold cup a couple times, we were the highest in our group this world cup, and could beat brazil back in the late 90s, but these are simply friendlies combining a few star players with 2 or 3 string tryouts. So we're not really that bad of a team. But they never count our goals, like this world cup. There were 2 goals in S. africa that shuldofcounted
Bring back Michael Bradley. Klinsmann talks about how he wants to pass and hold possession. Well Michael Bradley was probably one of our best players at keeping possession and completing passes in the mid-field D:
@kingofpunkd101 I agree, but the only reason why he didn't call up Bradley for the last two friendlies, was because he wanted Bradley to settles his issues with finding a new club before he came to train with the US.. So he was looking out for him. But hopefully he'll get called up this upcoming month :)
I kind of don't blame howard for the goal. The grass looked wet and a slippery ball. Bit yeah bad offside call too. Can't believe lukaku missed that chance.
I don`t like Klinsmann but he is not a magician: The US-Team is so far behind the top ten soccer (hate that word) nations in the world that he has a lot of work in front of him...
The Team is playing very physical but that`s not enough today...
you know alot of people will disagree with me but this is the bitter hard truth, the only reason that the US team is not doing pretty well is that because they have the lack of support some you Americans out there respect this team but alot of you dont for example the concacafgoldcup the main reason they lost was the lack support, seriously i could barely see a i or 2 US supporters throughout the game and what do we do later on? we say that the us team sucks? and that reducesconfidence evenmore
@fartexpertable umm the game was in belgium and it was a friendly... seeing that futbol in america isn't exactly the big thing, its not exactly surprising to see 20000 us fans out there...
besides, that's a terrible excuse for this squad, if they suck its because of the collective performance of the team, not the fans who watch it
Im a mexican american and i root for both teams:) But the thing i hate is when mexico fans hate on the USMNT even though they live here.I root for Mexico everytime they play usa but if usa does win i accept that.
@IMxYOURxDADDY Yea but we still own you guys, its not about winning the world cup if you know anything about soccer its representing your country the best you could, and i bet USA will never do that again ,
If we can't find the good left back, I say ditch the 4-3-3, and play 3-4-3 or 3-3-4. It's not like we have a player like Dani Alves that attacks consistently. We might not have great Side Back options, but we certainly have plenty of good mid fielders. Let's stick to our strength.
@TeamGetter2 oh god no, 3-4-3 demands outstanding individual skills, 3-3-4 is a very unusual formation (at least from a defensive perspective). I personally think they have some decent fullbacks (Spector and Chandler), it is very important nowadays, in a top class football, for a team to play with 4 defending (2 centerbacks and 2 fullbacks), playing with 3 defenders is very difficult now considering the quality wingers the world have produced (C.Ronaldo, Robben, Nani, etc),
@IMxYOURxDADDY Actually, by both attendance and TV viewership, MLS has grown the 3rd most popular league in the US in the last few years. And that is not even counting the glory-hunters who support other leagues!
our conditioning needs a lot of work also I remember them saying that one of those refs was in the games in which they disallowed goals in the WC go figure. :-/
@Grimmjow316 see that's the problem usa had always good conditioning even said so by mexican commentators saying that " the americans never get tired and are always fighting to the end which is why we should never count them out" as said by mexican commentators. So i don't think getting tired is an excuse because usa is one of the most conditioned teams in the world but it might be the players chosen.
@greenman1694 well the style they play now is different than before so they aren't used to playing that way. Some of those guys were getting tired in the CR game before so it will take time to adjust to this. Also that and the MLS season going on atm doesn't help either.
As of now Mexico has racked up USA.. Give Klinsmann time, I like what he is doing and the direction he is going w/ the USMNT. Mexico has a good team, they have been finding ways to win. The big test for Mexico is in the considerations cup. GO USA !
the u.s played belgium not mexico. it's rediculous how every bad u.s. result automatically becomes a political battle.
it's football, is's fun. concacaf is not a strong football confederation aside from mexico winning the confederations cup in 99 and the u.s. almost winning the last one.
the only thing to be compared between the 2 is that they both have relatively new coaches but mexico's already knew the game and most player and the u.s. have a long way to go.
Im a mexican american and i root for both teams:) But the thing i hate is when mexico fans hate on the USMNT even though they live here.I root for Mexico everytime they play usa but if usa does win i accept that.
@IMxYOURxDADDY You do know that there's like a thousand teams that can qualify for the world cup. Very few countries actually win the whole thing. Doesn't mean you suck if you don't win it all.
@HomezezGeezuz Well then... If USA is up 2-0, Mexico "definitely SHOULD" have started fouling. But guess what...THEY DIDN'T!!!! They buckled down and took care of business. The USA didn't even know what hit em'. This is THE BEST squad Mexico has ever had and think they can AT LEAST get to the semis in 2014. Look around, the talent is there with more on the way (U-17 and U-20). Bornstein is not all to blame for 4 goals (Blame the last one on Gio...LOL, for absolutely murking Tim Howard).
@IMxYOURxDADDY errmm when did u make a semi-final run.. and please dont say 'THE FIRST WORLD CUP CUZ THERE WERE ONLY FOUR TEAMS THEN'.. and i belive you came either last or third......(O_o)
you know what else is funny for your information both federation started in the 1930 and mexico leads All-time series 33wins –15 loses–12 ties (Mexico) mexico has won 33 games agains the usa lost (ONLY) 15 and tie 12 now thats funny!!!!!! and since you love history so much mexico has elimanated usa 4 times in concacaf elimanation now thats funnny too ...... @HomezezGeezuz
@254184tramo ok hold up (I don't know why i'm wasting my time with you) I'm assuming you're Mexican and I have seen Mexico lose to El Salvador and Guatemala with an A team does that make you suck? NO! it doesn't.
@SomdeReggae Look, i dont need to prove anything to you, i know what i saw and if you want proof check the entire game, on a youtube video or whatever, im not gonna look it up for you
Im a US fan. I respect Mexico as a dangerous team to play against. I love the US. Both teams are good and have great potential. Mexico's youth system is fantastic and the US is well disciplined. Yeah Mexico is known to cheapshot. But both teams are good. If you look at history you'll see both teams have periods of time where they dominate each other, and then it switches. US was for awhile, not its Mexico. So both sides just stop hating and respect both.
@SomdeReggae That's the reason Mexico lost so many games, the US players have a lot of discipline and tactical, mexicans players are better individually and more technicals, but if they make a mistake against the US, they pay them hard, but that will be on the past as Sun-Tzu would say, attack an enemy on the same manner for too long and in time they will adapt to your attacking strategy. If i mention the U-20 and U-17 world cups is because they are the future of both teams; mexicans are better
@SomdeReggae Argentina had their entire team when they played against Mexico and the game was pretty even, the real result would had been 2-1, what about Paraguay? Mexico beat them 3-1 and the US lost against them, what about Spain, the US lost against them 4-0 and Mexico tied 1-1, i dont respect a team that loses with more than 3 goals. You dont seem to understand the fact, that the US is a defensive team and Mexico an offensive team, they wait for Mexico to make a mistake and counter-attack
@MrGeegus lol then you must not respect manchester united, real madrid, barcelona, chelsea, arsenal, liverpool, spains national team (4-0 portugal LAWL) im pretty sure every top flights have lost a fair share of games by more than 3 goals
@SomdeReggae Mexican coach didn't took that game seriously, the US did and the best they got was a draw, would you put Sinha on the field when you have Giovanni Dos Santos? would you put Hobbit Bermudez and Arellano when you have Guardado and Pablo Barrera? if Mexico had Chicharito, Barrera and Guardado, the Us would had lost, they are Mexico's offensive power, and Argentina didn't used their starters in that friendly game you tied, everybody knows the ref gave Argentina an unfair goal
@SomdeReggae Mexican coach didn't took that game seriously, the US did and the best they got was a draw, would you put Sinha on the field when you have Giovanni Dos Santos? would you put Hobbit Bermudez and Arellano when you have Guardado and Pablo Barrera? if Mexico had Chicharito, Barrera and Guardado, the Us would had lost, they are Mexico's offensive power, and Argentina didn't used their starters in that friendly game you tied, everybody knows the ref gave Argentina an unfair goal
@SomdeReggae im on what side? could you be a little more coherent there please? i'll tell you what i have been saying everyone, Mexico's youth is better than US youth, Mexico won the U-17 world cup and got 3rd place in U-20 world cup, the US got crushed by Germany 4-0 in the U-17 world cup and they didn't even made it to the U-20 world cup, those players in time will make it to the main team, and guess what? mexican players are better than US players, so no just maybe and not just at the moment
@HomezezGeezuz Mexico has better players and better team, the sooner you accept it the better dor you, the US didn't had the game, they received 4 goals and they couldn't score more than 4 goals, also Mexico lost 2 starting defenders and we dont make lame excuses and whine like bitches like you do, the US coul'n't score more than 4 goals, Mexico is better, end of story
@MrGeegus I like USA better though. They just need a little more time to mature, and they will be top 10 in the world again. But I love Dos Santos. He's a mini Ronaldinho.
@MrGeegus No not really Mexico does not have the dream team like you guys think. USA can still win but in the future I agree Mexico does have a better youth and will be much better!
@HomezezGeezuz You wanna know what else is funny? your face and the fact that a US defender touched the ball with his hand and the ref didn't call for a penalty, MEXICO CONCACAF CHAMPION IN YOUR FACE
@xWhocaresxX You are not getting my point, those young players will go play in europe and in time make it to the mexican big team; Ulises Davila and Taufic Guarch are gonna play for Chelsea and Espanyol already, it is just a matter of time for Carlos Fierro, Giovani Casillas, Chaton Enriquez, Diego Reyes, Marco Fabian and many others to have experience, Mexico is on the way of becoming a top world team, and the US was 3rd place, when the world cup was easier and had a lot less teams ;)

Half of Belgium team was injured for this match : Van Buyten (Bayern Munich), Vermaelen (Arsenal), Vertonghen (Ajax Amsterdam), Chadli (Twente), De Bruyne (Genk), Dembele (Fulham), el Ghanassy (Gent), Mirallas ('cause greek league has not begun yet). So I think it was a pretty decent game for Belgium. Belgium is the youngest and talented team in Europe (average age 23) so this defeat is not a shame for US team.
@TheOneAndOnlyJanssen He has already played for the A team. Referring to Chadli and de Bruyne injuries, Leekens wanted to pick up el Ghanassy but he is injured too.
@oldska8ter look man its a little immature to say "IT WAS THE REF" rather than saying "Give us time we'll get better after time" its not the refs its the team man
To anyone who thinks there was someone involved in the play that was offside, please let me know who and why. No one even close to the ball or the play was offside in any way. I agree that the US did not play well, especially the midfield/D, but that was a goal for sure, there was no offside.
@micreorge It's Agudelo. It's hard to see on the replay though cause he jumps ahead of Goodson (who's not offside) but doesn't touch it. However on television they showed an alternate angle which indicates Agudelo starts offside, goes for the ball and interferes with play this way. If you pause at the exact moment the freekick is taken, you can see he's the closest American to the Belgian goal and is clearly offside.
@micreorge it's the guy who jumps for the ball @ 3:39, he interferes with play by jumping for it and therefore making it hard for the Belgian to clear it with his head.
even as an american, i cant say that we played better than belgium last night BUT that goal was definitely onside. i think that truthfully, we wont really be in great form for a while if the US is serious about recruiting. its a weird transitional phase, not only do we have a new coach but some of our past star players might not be fit enough for the next world cup, so theres a lot of adjustments to make. its going to take time.
as a Belgian I have to admit that i'm not a fan of our national team.
We DO have some great players, playing at Bayern Munchen, Arsenal, Ajax etc.. your best player (Kljestan) plays in Anderlecht, and he didn't even start in yesterday's game..I expected much more from the USA..
I also saw some reactions on this video here. Just face it that Mexico has a much better team than you guys..they have much more talent than you have
@wokewokewoke das toch waar, bij die amerikanen was er nu, op dempsey na, gene ene die ne bal fatsoenlijk kon raken. Diene altidore gaat ook nog veel boterhammekes mogen eten eer hij bij AZ in de ploeg komt ze..
@Insjallah The ball never touched any of the three people offside. It bounced off the grass and Edu headed it in. Edu wasn't anywhere near being offside!
if it weren't for Howard, USA soccer was be 10 times worse than it has been since he took over the position of GK. the man is a genius back there and has saved USMNT's A** on more than a thousand occasions. haha
Looks to me like the defense was the weakest spot. Tim Howard had to do a lot of saves in what were quite dangerous situations; it's actually surprising Belgium didn't score higher.
result of friendlies doesnt always matter unless you carry some sentimental value against certain opponents but the performance absolutely matters, losing but playing fantastically in friendlies is better than winning while playing terrible
the disallowed goal was ridiculous. but this is a friendly. so it doesn't really matter. not to mention we just got a new manager. it'll take time to adjust to his style. that being said, i understand it was a slick surface, but i think Timmy should've saved the goal. i spent my entire career in net (some of which, in college) and when a shot dips right before it reaches you, it's difficult. but he could've done better. not to take away from him, though. he's still one of the best in the world.
@Redman9250 But winning a friendly doesn't mean anything. Friendlies allow managers to test out different players and formations to find the best setup for tournaments, when the matches actually count for something.
@SomdeReggae but u never won a world cup so u have nothing to say. and the mexico programe is doing alot better let me tell u y. Mexico Beat the US Twice in the gold cup in 2009 & 2011 plus they were undefeted in the 2011 Gold Meaning Mexico is the UnderDog in the region. the U-17 won two World Cups, and the U-20 made it in Third Place in the 2011 World Cup in Colombia ..not even the USA team made it in that Tournament ..meaning your Future US Soccer team is not looking good.

If we can't find the good left back, I say ditch the 4-3-3, and play 3-4-3 or 3-3-4. It's not like we have a player like Dani Alves that attacks consistently. We might not have great Side Back options, but we certainly have plenty of good mid fielders. Let's stick to our strength.
TeamGetter2 5 months ago
@TeamGetter2 oh god no, 3-4-3 demands outstanding individual skills, 3-3-4 is a very unusual formation (at least from a defensive perspective). I personally think they have some decent fullbacks (Spector and Chandler), it is very important nowadays, in a top class football, for a team to play with 4 defending (2 centerbacks and 2 fullbacks), playing with 3 defenders is very difficult now considering the quality wingers the world have produced (C.Ronaldo, Robben, Nani, etc),

@Grimmjow316 see that's the problem usa had always good conditioning even said so by mexican commentators saying that " the americans never get tired and are always fighting to the end which is why we should never count them out" as said by mexican commentators. So i don't think getting tired is an excuse because usa is one of the most conditioned teams in the world but it might be the players chosen.
greenman1694 5 months ago
@greenman1694 well the style they play now is different than before so they aren't used to playing that way. Some of those guys were getting tired in the CR game before so it will take time to adjust to this. Also that and the MLS season going on atm doesn't help either.

As of now Mexico has racked up USA.. Give Klinsmann time, I like what he is doing and the direction he is going w/ the USMNT. Mexico has a good team, they have been finding ways to win. The big test for Mexico is in the considerations cup. GO USA !

the u.s played belgium not mexico. it's rediculous how every bad u.s. result automatically becomes a political battle.
it's football, is's fun. concacaf is not a strong football confederation aside from mexico winning the confederations cup in 99 and the u.s. almost winning the last one.
the only thing to be compared between the 2 is that they both have relatively new coaches but mexico's already knew the game and most player and the u.s. have a long way to go.
it was wrong to sack bradley.

Look around, the talent is there with more on the way (U-17 and U-20). Bornstein is not all to blame for 4 goals (Blame the last one on Gio...LOL, for absolutely murking Tim Howard).

Ok, to all the US and Mexico hating,
Im a US fan. I respect Mexico as a dangerous team to play against. I love the US. Both teams are good and have great potential. Mexico's youth system is fantastic and the US is well disciplined. Yeah Mexico is known to cheapshot. But both teams are good. If you look at history you'll see both teams have periods of time where they dominate each other, and then it switches. US was for awhile, not its Mexico. So both sides just stop hating and respect both.
zyxweftr 6 months ago 2
@SomdeReggae That's the reason Mexico lost so many games, the US players have a lot of discipline and tactical, mexicans players are better individually and more technicals, but if they make a mistake against the US, they pay them hard, but that will be on the past as Sun-Tzu would say, attack an enemy on the same manner for too long and in time they will adapt to your attacking strategy. If i mention the U-20 and U-17 world cups is because they are the future of both teams; mexicans are better
MrGeegus 6 months ago
@SomdeReggae Argentina had their entire team when they played against Mexico and the game was pretty even, the real result would had been 2-1, what about Paraguay? Mexico beat them 3-1 and the US lost against them, what about Spain, the US lost against them 4-0 and Mexico tied 1-1, i dont respect a team that loses with more than 3 goals. You dont seem to understand the fact, that the US is a defensive team and Mexico an offensive team, they wait for Mexico to make a mistake and counter-attack

@SomdeReggae im on what side? could you be a little more coherent there please? i'll tell you what i have been saying everyone, Mexico's youth is better than US youth, Mexico won the U-17 world cup and got 3rd place in U-20 world cup, the US got crushed by Germany 4-0 in the U-17 world cup and they didn't even made it to the U-20 world cup, those players in time will make it to the main team, and guess what? mexican players are better than US players, so no just maybe and not just at the moment

So I think it was a pretty decent game for Belgium. Belgium is the youngest and talented team in Europe (average age 23) so this defeat is not a shame for US team.

To anyone who thinks there was someone involved in the play that was offside, please let me know who and why. No one even close to the ball or the play was offside in any way. I agree that the US did not play well, especially the midfield/D, but that was a goal for sure, there was no offside.
micreorge 6 months ago
@micreorge It's Agudelo. It's hard to see on the replay though cause he jumps ahead of Goodson (who's not offside) but doesn't touch it. However on television they showed an alternate angle which indicates Agudelo starts offside, goes for the ball and interferes with play this way. If you pause at the exact moment the freekick is taken, you can see he's the closest American to the Belgian goal and is clearly offside.
ramos037 6 months ago
@micreorge it's the guy who jumps for the ball @ 3:39, he interferes with play by jumping for it and therefore making it hard for the Belgian to clear it with his head.

even as an american, i cant say that we played better than belgium last night BUT that goal was definitely onside. i think that truthfully, we wont really be in great form for a while if the US is serious about recruiting. its a weird transitional phase, not only do we have a new coach but some of our past star players might not be fit enough for the next world cup, so theres a lot of adjustments to make. its going to take time.

the disallowed goal was ridiculous. but this is a friendly. so it doesn't really matter. not to mention we just got a new manager. it'll take time to adjust to his style. that being said, i understand it was a slick surface, but i think Timmy should've saved the goal. i spent my entire career in net (some of which, in college) and when a shot dips right before it reaches you, it's difficult. but he could've done better. not to take away from him, though. he's still one of the best in the world.
