I woke up this morning and it belatedly dawned on me how excited I was for the giant Ommegang Three Philosophers in the fridge. I know it's New York, but it smells like Belgium.

Just no authentic Belgian beers...they are banned for the day.
 
Swiss blowing two great early chances. Longer you let Messi hang around, the 'unluckier' you'll get.

Drink Allagash, Ommegang, Boulevard, North Coast, etc. American breweries making Belgian-style beer that's in most cases as good as the Belgian stuff.

And I love a good Belgium wheat in the summer, hope to toast them goodbye with a Hoegarden around 6 PM or so. If the Red Devils win, I may need to put down a few of those XXX Tripel to dull the pain.

I like Allagash and Ommegang, can't say I have tried the others. I'll put them on the list. I do like a Belgian ale though, give me a Chimay and I'm a pretty happy guy.
 
What a run by messi!! What a pass by messi! What placement by di maria!!
 
Wow. Just wow. What an ending to that game. Switzerland literally inches from an equalizer.

That was heavy drama. I don't think there was a Swiss player left standing when the final whistle blew. They all collapsed onto the ground. Had to be agony.

Well the USA is now in the Final Nine!

I've go to say, I've been highly prophetic lately. That being the case:

Dempsey scores the game winner today.

I suppose that is true, but only by virtue of being in the last match of the round. Can the USA get a quick goal and take some pressure off? I don't know if I'm going to survive. I have to pick up my son at daycare. My phone has been charging all day so I can glance at ESPN3 on my way. If a goal is scored in the second half, I may drive off the road.
 
Jozy not starting. Will be surprised to see him today. Bummer.
 
Kompany and Fellaini both starting.

Rotten luck so far.

Hopefully they both go down and Belgium has to burn two subs.

Jozy tore his hamstring about 13 days and 20 hours ago. I'll bet he can walk without a limp, but it still grabs at him in anything more than a jog. I assume he is hesitant to open it up his throttle.

Doctors did clear him to play though.

I'm thinking this is klinnsman not wanting to be forced into an early sub.

Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
 
JK going with a new 4-3-3 formation. Before up op on the wing no Beckerman.

Interesting.

I'm going with Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale.

At 9.7 ABV, the USMT will be responsible for whatever happens this afternoon.

So GC in the midfield?!

Cameron and Gonzalez starting. I remember Cameron pushing the ball up well in qualifying, so maybe that's what Klinsmann is going for today. To be honest, I think Cameron for Beckerman brings more offense and more than adequate defending.

We'll see how it goes!

Johnson has been so dangerous on the wing this cup, but I like him playing on the back right with Cameron in front of him. He's fit good speed and height... And more importantly, I don't trust Cameron in the back.

Johnson is playing forward??

I think you read that backwards!

If we can just tighten up that D we should be alright.

Sucks we lost Johnson, but yedlin looks awesome. So many great runs down the wing. Game changed when he went in. Would have loved to have seen Johnson and yedlin playing at the same time.

Zuni looks terrible. Look for a sub there at some point
 
Gotta do a better job retaining possession in the midfield. Fortunate 0-0 given all the Belgian chances in the 1st half. But we've still got a puncher's chance, goddammit.
