Awesome games all around in the round of 16. While group winners went 8-0 for the most part the second place group finishers took them to the limit. Great performance by howard in a loss but an overall atrocious performance by united states defense - arguably the worst by any team this tournament, they were under constant belgian assault. An average goalie would have probably allowed 5 goals and akinfeev would have let 7 in.

Exactly what I was thinking.... If it wasn't for Howard, it would have been a slaughter...
USA lost, but Howard won.
Thoroughly enjoyed the game. Heard 20 million+ were watching. No doubt Futbol is gaining in popularity in USA.
Yesterday was a wild day for soccer. Things started out good with Argentina defeating Switzerland at the last possible minute. In the afternoon I watched the USA play Belgium. The US lost but they put up one heroic and incredible fight. It is one of the best sports events that I have seen decades. Elena and I will have some great soccer games to watch on the 4th and the 5th of July as Brasil plays Colombia and Argentina plays Belgium.
