And he said, oh, I would love to, you know, very humble and smiling.
And here he is on a very important day, a game that was so tight, so cagey, so tactical.
You needed that moment to be more awake than your opponent.
And that's certainly what Mikel Moreno did.
A nice finish as well.
I think the moment got to them.
Despite having that home crowd and being in Seattle that has been known at this World Cup for being amongst the most raucous and supportive of the United States...
I really think that this team was thoroughly distracted by everything that was happening outside the pitch with President Trump, FIFA, the suspension of Fuller and Balogun, the fallout, and everything that has been said and critiqued and scrutinized since then.
There's a saying in American sports, don't ever give a team bulletin board material, anything that they can hang up in their dressing room and point to and say, this is what they think of us.
And that's exactly what the president of the United States did for Belgium.
I really think that they came out thinking, this is our moment.
The United States doesn't have that World Cup pedigree yet.
It's not a team that I think can manage these very stressful moments.
You remember in 2022, they went out
in the second round to the Netherlands, and they look like deer in headlights there as well.
And tonight, you know, Mauricio Pochettino after the match saying, we didn't show what we've been showing.
We didn't play the way we've been playing.
We didn't match the intensity.
And I think that is a byproduct of nervousness, of anxiety, and obviously an opponent that had studied the United States thoroughly, and that were just so much sharper in key areas of the pitch, midfield, backline.
On the flanks, you mentioned Rudy Garcia getting the selections right.
