I'm still in mourning after USMNT's gallant defeat to Belgium. If there's one thing that shows just how much they've achieved in this World Cup it's that they've managed to get me to happily use USMNT when referring to them.
It seems I wasn't the only person taken by Tim Howard and friends. Here's how Twitter reacted to both of yesterday's games.
I I believe I believe that I believe that we will win I believe that we will win I believe that we will win #AreYouReady #1N1T #USA
