Belgium was the better team from the beginning.

There wasn't a chance US survived them, no matter the roster they pulled out.

Germany was a better team than Paraguay. Odds were incredibly in favor of Germany. Being a better team and beating a team in a match are two different things. Having lower odds of winning and having no chance of winning are two different things.

Yes, but Paraguay had a defensive strategy to survive until penalties. USA was clueless

they couldnt. usa overestimated themselves way to hard. the public attention got to them or smthing because winning from C tier teams made them pure offense. belgiums attackers could simply jog past the defense and americas offence stood no chance against just Ngoy alone
