And we're giving them billions of dollars, and not in a dead of night anymore, mind you. Brilliant.

It`s all very well you saying that, but he plays for Chelsea.

Oh no! Pulisic out at the half!

He`s a monster! He is supporting state sanctioned murder! Or he just likes Newcastle. It depends on which podcast I listen to.

Eesh!  The less-than-Great Satan is proving to be sloppy in defending the cross.

 

Lucky to have a goal advantage right now

Lucky to not have given up the equalizer there.

[blueschica]

Eeek, so suspenseful! 

[Nova Carmina]

Yikes. Skin o' the teeth stuff there toward the end; disappointing considering how on top they were for the first three quarters of the match.

[IbanezJem]

Never in doubt.

Enjoy your game against the Netherlands! PS. They are not as good as they think they are.

[Nova Carmina]

So what do we know about these here, uh, Dutch, are they? They any good?

Wales were poor tonight and given that they had to win by 4 or more goals they were never on the front foot.

Congratulations to team USA. The Netherlands are not a great side and are very beatable.

FFS, If footballs coming home, then I'm going out!

Those guys I think we could beat, but their teamwork and barn-raising skills are formidable.

Well done England and USA! I managed to see no football..... Trolleyed on free drink and hot sunshine ☀️🍺

Catch up later.... Heading to Bahamas this morning.

The smelly French are being tested by Tunisia, while the toothless Danes continue to dominate against the ex-cons that call themselves Australia.
