Wow that was insane. Kinda feel bad for Mexico since they controlled most of the game, but credit to the Netherlands; they didn't stop playing especially in that heat.
Got a tip for us?

I feel bad for Ochoa is particular as he played a great game and the Mexican defense was solid.
The first two goals were beautiful and the final PK was a bit iffy, but made up for the earlier double challenge on Robben where he was kicked squarely in the achilles.
The stats showed the game turning NED's way particularly after the equalizer. Giving up 10 corners alone is a sign of a defense under a lot of pressure.

Two great shows of world class goalkeeping from Navas and Ochoa today.
Glad CRC will fight on, but my heart (and money) are on NED to win their match up.

Missed most of the USA game but watching now. Real end to end stuff. Can't believe its still nil nil.
Yes, extremely exiting despite no goals so far. Anyone who uses lack of scoring as an argument against football (soccer) should see this game!
Then all you need to do is point back to the game before with all the boring defense and flopping by the Swiss.
Wow after the Germany game yesterday and the USA game today I need a couple of days to recuperate. What extremely exiting games.
I was hoping the US would win but, on the good side, myself and probably 90% of the US can stop watching the world cup

Great, great effort by the US. Played much better football than Belgium in the last half of extra time, shame to see them go.
Belgium v Argentina will be an interesting game, but I fancy Messi and co to go through.

great match, feel bad for th US, but on the other hand belgium really played very well and they did dominate most of the game.
darn it, i really thought the US would pull it off at the end

Well, we can't just attack in the last 10-15 minutes of overtime and think something was going to happen, we should have played like that since the opening whistle. The defense did well for the most part. Don't know what happened in the second half to some of our players. Zusi should have been subbed out earlier, he looked so, so lost, and I can't believe Fabian Johnson went out with the same injury as Altidore. I wonder if it really was the heat that was giving us so much problems.
Tim Howard was a beast though. Most saves by a GK in a World Cup since 1966. That should be qualifications for the golden glove, but we all know the GK of the winning WC team will get that.
I do find it ironic that "the Germans" that people had issues with making the team were the ones to either produce goals or assist with goals.
Overall, even though it was the same result as 2010, I think the team played a lot better now than they did then. We definitely have some future stars in Greene and Yedlin. I hope we can nurture their talent.
