Belgium humiliates the USA!

Belgium scores three second-half goals to down U.S.

CLEVELAND -- After the stomping, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann got stumped.

Not long after his team was overrun 4-2 on Wednesday night in an international game by a talented Belgium team that dominated the Americans for 90 minutes, Klinsmann was asked if there were three positives to be taken from the loss.

"Um," Klinsmann said, pausing. "Three? You challenge me with three?"

Klinsmann smiled and then danced around coming up with an adequate answer.

There really wasn't much he could say.

Christian Benteke scored two goals in the second half and Marouane Fellaini had another as Belgium took advantage of U.S. defensive breakdowns and scored three times after halftime in a one-sided thrashing of the Americans, who hoped the match - and an upcoming one Sunday in Washington D.C. against Germany - would help get them ready for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

indeed

is this soccer? the US really doesn't care

American soccer will always be second fiddle to most other continents wince we have at least three sports that are far more popular (football, baseball and basketball).

and no one in America cared except for hipsters.

Wow soccer. It's a shame the USA isn't the leader in homosexual sports.

I always love when people make a big deal about the US losing in a sport that the country couldn't care less about. News flash to non-US folk, we don't care when we get beat at soccer and odds are, nobody even knew the game was happening. Save your bragging for countries that actually care. :P

Well, Belgium has a golden generation of players to be honest. Anywhere from defense to attack they are stacked with top quality personnel. It wasn't surprising at all.

There's nothing straighter than a dozen muscular men in skin-tight pants grabbing and rubbing up against each other in a large sweaty pile.

Meh, it was an International Friendly match anyways. 

Not sure how this is humiliating.

Soccer?!? Rather be talkin bout practice

I enjoy soccer it is a game of skill and precision. Belgium are on fire at the minute and a second-half crushing is always amusing.

I was just about to say this. Basketball and Baseball are popular worldwide, and Hockey has followings in other countries, even within the NHL teams. 

NASCAR has virtually no fanbase internationally, and there are reasons for that.

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Baseball, as boring as it is, is huge in latin countries and Japan. Also basketball is huge in Europe and China so the comparison isn't a very good one.

He didn't say anything about an American player being popular, he said the sport.

Basketball is popular in Europe, there are leagues over there and that says enough.
