It looked to me as if Belgium might have gotten worn out near the end. The US really needs to improve their offense and particularly holding possession, something we seemed to improve at near the end, but again I think Belgium was getting tired. Belgium outclassed us in maintaining possession, as well as taking it away. Tim Howard was really outstanding. If he hadn't been so good, it would have been much more lopsided, and of course not even gone to the extra period. Just from the shear number of attempts on the goal, even all other things being equal (which they weren't), Belgium was bound to win. Still, the US team should feel proud for what they accomplished.
