Everybody not American

I am not at all anti-USA, but I want Belgium to win this. For the sake of the beautiful game.

I normally love America (minus Trump obv) and have lived there. But today…as you say, for the sake of the beautiful game

I love America (I live here, DP is American), but I really hope Belgium win.

On the BBC Instagram there's a clip from the reaction in the studio while it's happening and it's so funny, Wayne etc all cracking up (as was i)

FFS

oh balls

I am here but struggling .
I am in bed with headphones on so I can just sleep if I want to .

I don't know why ..but I really don't like dark coloured kits .
I thought USA were in black but I now realize, they are in a dark navy .

Ohh flip !!
Just as I was talking about them they have scored !
Definitely don't like their kit now !!

That was a belter to be fair

Yes! Goal!

Omfg!!

This is what we needed after the Spain Portugal game!

Belgium's ever better!

You can do it 💪

X thousand!

Just watching the first 20 minutes eh? 😜

Pochettino kicking the Powerades - what did they ever do to him!

I've just woken up. Glad to see Belgium in front. Keep it up.

I'd have been neutral, but for Trump's interference.

I don’t care about Trump, Belgium are the better team and deserve to win!

Have woken up. 😀

They're definitely a better team.

Yeah, right, that's bed for me!

I'm expecting angry tweets from the mango Mussolini

I think I'm going to have to head off before the end: have to be up at a reasonable time... :(
