Retards All Around

I watch the US-Belgium game. I listen to the commentary afterwards. I could not hear announcers during the game, though. I watch the post-game press conference with Pochettino. Nobody asks why De Bruyne and Doku didn't start? Nobody asks what Belgium did to completely nullify our midfield and attack, which had been our strength all tournament? I mean, this level of non-understanding of soccer is beyond me. They want to talk about Trump, about whether this is a disappointment for the US whether Pochettino will be back. What happened to Pulisic in the game? Why did he come off? Was he injured? What adjustments - if any - did any of the teams make? Here's what I can piece together...Belgium had looked rough all tournament and went down 2-0 against Senegal. Got desperate and subbed their two biggest stars - Doku and De Bruyne - and then somehow managed to come back to win 3-2. They decided to go with the hot hand, which I think involved handing the keys to Troussard and Tielemans and played a younger, more energetic 11. Maybe they always play with one striker, but I think they had 5 in midfield and completely dominated and our guys could not string any connection together with each other. Also, I read they decided to man mark Balogun. Did anyone in the entire United States notice this during the game? This negated our main target up front and I think disrupted our ability to possess in any dangerous spots during the game. I don't understand how we expect to get better and be better at soccer if we can't even understand the game being played.
