But everything that the U.S.
excelled at is...
All of a sudden became their weakness in the game.
They used their strengths and they turned it against them, Belgium, in the game.
And that just doesn't make any sense.
You can say it's level of opposition.
And there are plenty of people, some of your colleagues, Tom of The Athletic, who are sort of from a very Euro-minded perspective going, no, you guys aren't that good.
What are you guys on about that you guys had higher expectations?
They set the expectations with how they played.
If they played like that and lost, that would have been fine.
But they played nowhere near that level.
And I don't think it's explainable by the elevation in the standard of the opponent.
Because Paraguay gave Germany a hell of a game.
They knocked them out.
They gave France a hell of a game.
And it was by far France's toughest game of the tournament, and the U.S.
destroyed them.
So I don't think it's explainable by the opposition.
It's something happened there off the field, on the field, coaching, mentally, that completely led to the U.S.
dissolving in front of our eyes.
