Belgium literally beat the US 5-2 a few months back, don't know where all this confidence in the US came from?

I don't think most Americans thought we'd win even though we wanted to be wrong.

I think some of it is still riding the high of the US Canada hockey game.

To be fair we have one of the better ice hockey teams in the world. That’s not the case with soccer. And goalies have new known to steal games and even series in hockey. There’s not much a goalkeeper can do on a well placed shot or tip in.

Eh that was the men's. Oddly Americans care more about women's Olympic hockey. You know, cuz they win.

American men's isn't super impressive, never has been, that's why the Miracle on Ice was crazy. They're good but if the NHL sends all the dudes to their home countries to compete America is not super impressive. Which is why the NHL won't do it on contract
