It will be interesting to see how deep they can go. Maybe they’ll get past Belgium and move on to the quarter finals. Their star scorer will be ineligible because of a red card against Bosnia-Herzegovina, so they’ll need a plan to compensate for that.
Belgium is tough, but one might dare think Destiny, aided by a home field advantage. In any event and no matter the outcome, it’s nice to see the U.S. have a team that seems legitimately competitive and scrappy, with a manager who seems like he’s all in.
I just hope Donald Trump doesn’t hijack the proceedings and make it all about him, which somehow feels inevitable. He best stay away, because if he shows up, it’ll be the usual kiss of death.
