Haha. Don’t know what your half-time analysis is showing but on the BBC, Alan Shearer was highlighting how the USA is committing too many men forward and leaving themselves open on the counter. Jurgen will need to sort that out at half-time.

Anyone know how much time they give between the end of regular play and the beginning of overtime?

Belgians squander a couple good chances, but good hustle and backside defense by Beasley to keep it 0 - 0.

45 minute halfs plus for injury time, which is usually 3 to 5 minutes longer per half.

10 minutes. Enough for a commercial break and a bit of pundit chatter.

It’s that gorgeous trophy. I have a medallion made by the sculptor, Silvio Gazzaniga. My jeweler saw it and commented...”Such talent, such beauty”.

Full defensive. It’s starting to become a shooting gallery. Get some possession and keep it. Reduce some pressure.

Never has a 0-0 game seemed so much like a rout.

I think all of Belgium’s goals have come after 70 minutes.

US really needed to get an early goal in this one.

The substitution that should have come at halftime and probably would have if Johnson hadn’t been hurt. A forward on for Zusi.

Belgium is just too skilled for the US....The US is working hard, and Howard is world-class keeper, but at this point it’s simply not good enough to get past this point.

We look like we are running out of gas. Heavy sigh, but I believe.
