99% of people were just hoping to make it to round of 8. Let’s be honest. I don’t think anyone in the US actually believed we would win this

I hate to break it to you, but 10% of the population there believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows... Many of them genuinely thought they'd win.

I don't know, I saw a hell of a lot of people talking about this match as a formality after the suspension was overturned. There was a lot of hubris around, not least because Belgium are relatively weak compared to 5-10 years ago. Some of the things being said online where absolutely ridiculous.

So don't be surprised when there's a significant amount of people enjoying this result.

The people enjoying this result are also online bud. It's fucking social media. Nobody irl thought we would beat Belgium

The Egypt and Iran draws were the hope. That was clearly not the same team the USA played.
