another way to see it is that lukaku lost his place in the starting 11 to a no-name black teenager from the french league

Yes, I'll be supporting team USgAy. While only 6 Whites is lousy, America unfortunately has always been a multi-racial country. Belgium on the other hand, should be French and Flemish. Instead they have a Kenyan nobody starting at striker. Also, I loath Kompany and the overrated image he enjoys.
I'd like to see some goals after alot of low scoring matches. It'd be nice to see the White talents of Dempsey, Bradley, Hazard, Mertens and De Bruyne get some goals.

This move is so anti-white,it trumps Chelsea selling Mata and replacing him with Willian.

messi's drive:
he created some goal scoring chances from nothing in that game, great game

I'm with Freethinker and ThePhilosopher in supporting Team USA today, for the reasons that Freethinker outlined.
I still can't belive Origi is starting over Mirallas... just ridiculous.

Lukaku might've been exposed, but this is such a slap in the face to Mirallas to have this no name starting over him; this is worse than Holland using Lens over Huntelaar until the Mexico game as well.
Maybe they needed Willian's skills from the penalty spot.:eyebrows:
Messi has had a great WC so far. Those who have said in the past that he can't be considered one of the greatest of all time because he only plays well for Barcelona can be summarily dismissed. if anything this Argentine team is too reliant on him.
Belgium v USA
Klinsmann has complained about the use of an Algerian referee:

I used to cheer for the Belgians in the 80s and early 90s. Here's what they looked like in 1986 when they reached the semi-finals in Mexico:

messi was elected man of the match by the FIFA for the 4th time in 4 matches :icon_surprised:
Playing against Messi on a Saturday afternoon when everyone is off work and there's no other real sports competition (just regular season baseball that's on every day) would be a huge boon for the sport in the USA.

Okay,decision made,GO BELGIUM!!!

Hazard doesn't strike me as white. Has a weird sort of north african look about him.

I'm rooting for Belgium too. The US DWF have gone mad.

I know this might sound a little bit conspiratorial, but I'm sure that behind the scenes there are certain people whispering in the manager's ear, telling him to pick Third Worlders en masse?
Does anyone remember when Theo Walcott was selected for England's WC squad in '06? He'd never played one second of Premier League football at the time but he was picked over more experienced players.
All for the sake of hyping their great mixed-race hope, that ended well didn't it? Walcott has since faded into well deserved insignificance...

See Klinsmann picking Julian Green over Landon Donovan for the USA this world cup as well.
I agree, very weak, or as the younger crowd might say, gay.

Origi had a chance around the 30 minute mark but instead of laying it off for a teammate (maybe Hazard) he tried to do it all himself and it ended with a weak shot into US defenders. Their selfishness and lack of team play shouldn't surprise me by now, yet it still does.

Lol,no example is quite like the Willian-Mata one:
On one hand Chelsea had Mata,World cup 2010 winner,Euro 2012 winner,Player of the year for Chelsea in 2012 & 2013,established PL star,fan favourite.
And then there's Willian,done nothing of note except winning the highly-competitive Ukranian league and of course darling of the media,for no apparent reason.
So what do Chelsea do?
Marginalize,sell their star and bring Willlian in,who so far has done Fuc* all for Chelsea.
