Team USA Advances to Round of 16

Nice win for the US but they are going to have to play 2 good halves against the Dutch. They were on their heels a bit in the second half today holding on to the win but congrats to them for getting it done! Hopefully Pulisic is healthy enough to play on Saturday.

Forreal. 3 guys shouldn’t have been on the field. What did Gio do that was so bad he can’t get out of the dog house??

Greg has to get Gio involved. Or make me a believer on choosing Wright over Reyna

So how many people will be watching the US/Netherlands match tomorrow morning at 9am CST? I will go out on a limb and say the US wins this one but then lose to Argentina in the next round. Right now there are 8 European teams left, 3 Asian teams (Australia is not really an Asian team but plays in the Asian qualifications), 2 South American teams. 2 African teams and the US left in the round of 16. I have a number of vacation days left that I am using up at the end of the year so it has been nice being able to watch many of the matches. The last few days have been pretty exciting with the concurrent 3rd round matches being played and the teams projected to advance changing minute over minute based on current results.
