I see you've got Peter Drury (or, as he is known in these parts, "Peter Dreary"). Sorry people.

The only other guy I've ever heard of is Dave Woods. He's BBC Radio 5 Live's Rugby League commentator, and a fairly good summariser, but I've never heard him commentate on football before.

I like how the game always starts right on time. You know exactly when to tune in.

What is the point of all those morons in orange and green if a guy can run circles around every player before any of them even notice. Well that's embarrassing.

Belgium's chances seem to be coming from bad American decisions as opposed to outright skill.

I think Belgium can win if the US scores first. No chance for the US if Belgium does. Belgium already seems to have lots of space on counter attacks so you'd imagine that will only get more profound if they are up a goal.

Belgium seems nervous as hell. Lots of easy mistakes and constantly slightly slow.

US is way less skilled, but play with more confidence.

US seems terrified of Hazard. Giving him tons of space down that side.

I imagine the longer this goes the more defensive the US will get. They have to like their chances in penalties with Howard back there.

Belgium totally dominating play since halftime...which of course means the US will score some fluke goal.

Belgians need to up the tempo if they're ever going to score.

Despite the US having slightly more possession, Belgium has 5 times as many shots. Sorry for calling Algeria bus parkers, the Americans have had that baby backed up since about 40 minutes.

Yeah you can already see the US miracle coming. Belgium has wasted too many opportunities.
