I’m hearing some people think Wondolowski really choked on the goal attempt at 90+2 minutes but I’m hearing others say the Belgian goalkeeper had gotten the angle down on him pretty good, so just try picturing trying to kick the ball into the goal where the goalkeeper is right on top of you. I think this was a similar situation. I can see that point of view some.
I agree; at least as I remember it, that wasn’t an easy shot at all. He had to get the ball over the keeper somehow, at a short distance, if I recall correctly.

I was thinking that, it’s a shame that we have to wait another four years for people to get interested in the USMNT again.

At least in Europe, they have the Euro Tournament in-between, and qualifying begins I believe 6 months after the conclusion of the WC.

So there should be a Euro-Type tournament for the combined CONCACAF and COMNEBOL teams. So you would have the US, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, etc. all involved. I know there is the Gold Cup for CONCACAF, but really, who cares about that?
