    "It is worth giving USA huge credit and thanking them for what they have contributed to the World Cup.

    "I've not seen a better game at the World Cup. I've not seen the character, commitment, desire and courage from any other team like USA have shown here."

    "What a brilliant night of football. Belgium deserved to win - with bells on. They had millions of chances, but the USA players were heroes.

    "They tell me Americans don't like sports they don't win at but surely there is glory in losing like this. Surely this will be the start of a massive change in the country."

    "Belgium have thrown away control of the match and now they are hanging on. It is because Belgium did not take their two central midfielders off whose legs had gone. They can't move and the pressure is on them."

    "The first 90 minutes were incredible but this is so much better still. Try getting this game down to 10 minutes of highlights, you have got absolutely no chance.

    "Surely USA will get another chance - just one more - they deserve one now."

    If the US turn this one around, it's a shoo-in for a Hollywood remake.

    "What a free-kick. Fabulous. That's the best free-kick of the World Cup. If you want anyone on the end of it, then it's Dempsey. What a save from Thibaut Courtois."

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 23:24 British Summer Time 1 July 2014

    What a free-kick! The States work a genius ball around the wall, like Javier Zanetti v England in 1998, but Thibaut Courtois makes a big save to shut them out!

    Clint Dempsey denied. Belgium all over the place.
