An Englishman's thoughts after US loss to Belgium

[XfireZ51]

"I would just like to say, with out trying to be condescending, you've been an absolute joy to watch this World Cup. From the players' commitment, heart, passion, effort and never say die attitude, to the fans who have been the best by far and have been great fun to watch, and the 'I believe that we will win' chant is incredible.
As an England fan, I can only dream of my country having as much passion as yours, on and off the pitch.
I was rooting for you all the way and was devastated when Wondolowski missed that chance, literally fell to my knees screaming.
I sincerely hope that the popularity of the sport in America grows and this isn't just a bandwagon thing (it probably is) because if you continue to develop young talent and get more people involved you will grow to one of the biggest footballing nations around, then who knows.
You've been a pleasure.
You may not fully love football, but football loves you!"

Also the captain of the Belgium team tweeted

"Two words. TIM HOWARD" #Respect

I don't know where you may have been, but I was sitting at Philadelphia Intn'l,
and the entire concourse was captivated by the match, whether watching on TV or people's own iPad/iPhone feeds.
