You're listening to the Meninblazers Media Network, Suboptimal Radio.

I did not like that.

The United States took the field for the first time in four months against old foe Belgium.

And we're giving a reality check.

A stinging 5-2 defeat in Atlanta.

Oh, in the second to last game before our squad is announced.

We raised hopes with a first half goal, made us all believe, and then Belgium simply

raised their game and utterly blew us away.

Smoke the US, who were then exposed, torrid second half, warning signs flashing all over

the field today

Marichio Pochitino told us before the game to dream and then oh a bit of a bloody

nightmare but everyone relax let's not read too much into friendlies yeah and to break it

down we will be bringing on a gentleman who is probably feeling this,

even more than you all are, 142 caps for the US, top goal scoring our nation's history on the men's side.

Oh, it's a sad day to say, oh, to the Bass Assassin, welcome Mr Clint Dempsey.

What's up, Raj? Good to be here.

It's so good to see you, beautiful man. I keep telling myself that the last laugh is going to be on Belgium because they've got to

spend six hours in security at the Atlanta airport on the way home.

Yeah, man, that's crazy.

Really a game of two halves today, right?

So first half we started out really well.

It's great to see a good crowd.
