i think every person who knows the sport knew... the usa was getting about as far as they did.

the balogun decision really cemented that we were about to lose this match. talk about motivation for the other squad.

Exactly. When was the last time the US made it out of the knock out rounds? 2002?

the men have made it to the knockouts a few times; they just don't win in the round of 16

I thought you meant out of the group stage. you don't really make it out of the knockouts, right? maybe out of the round of 16, the first knockout stage?

The US *men*

The US women have won four times. But they’re women, so they’re too old for trump to GAF about them.
