This Blake guy is a pretty decent keeper.

Acosta off? Wow that boy was a real schemer .... I agree with bringing Clint on but I would've taken someone else off

It's a shame that USA still relies on Clint Dempsey!

Sadly the only other promising forward is Pulisic.

Goalie should have saved that one.
It was so far out that he saw it but didn't stretch enough to touch it.

The goalie who got injured would have saved it.

That Jamaican coach is the most emotionless person I have seen on the football field or game.

What I thought too. Blake is just better than the replacement.

IMHO Blake deserves the golden gloves for this tournament. I can now see why analysts were saying he is the best CONCACAF goalkeeper. He sure is
"History shows that this club has had very few strikers like him. I do not know if there has ever been anyone like him before. What I do know is that Barcelona should erect a statue for him. Samuel was a fundamental player here in recent years and was key to all of the titles that the team won."

USA has just showed us what it means to trust our own homebased coaches. There is nothing like patriotism. Hope our African federations can learn from that and trust our own coaches to bring us glories
