SportsTranscript
00:05U.S. Soccer on TNT is presented by Marriott Bonvoy.
00:10We are just 59 days away from the U.S. World Cup squad being named
00:14and 75 days from the tournament's opening game.
00:18Maurizio Pochettino's men are on a five-match unbeaten run
00:22as they arrive here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to take on Belgium.
00:27Kyle, moments of big opportunity for many of these players.
00:31Some on both sides have experienced World Cups before,
00:34including Christian Pulisic for the U.S. and Kevin De Bruyne for Belgium.
00:38Yeah, it's going to be amazing to watch these two talents in person.
00:41Two former Chelsea players that had much different careers after Chelsea
00:45than when they were there, but two talents that are going to be the key to the match today for
00:49sure.
00:51Atlanta is a city that has soccer running through its veins
00:55and today it provides the stage for another significant step towards a home World Cup
01:01for the United States.
01:05We're on the way here at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium with Belgium kicking things off here.
01:10The first meeting between these nations since the 2014 World Cup round of 16,
01:16which Belgium won by two goals to one after extra time.
01:20United States in a Nations League quarterfinal against Jamaica.
01:23Down the right side comes Moutier.
01:25Moutier's ball into the middle.
01:27Riem tries to clear it away.
01:28Drimen in from the edge of the box and over the top of the par there by Raska,
01:32the Rangers midfielder.
01:39When we were talking about it, definitely as we were going over lineups,
01:42it's going to be a lot of interchanging on top.
01:46And Riem does well to deflect that first one.
01:48It's bouncing at a difficult height.
01:50Tillman comes across to take it.
01:52He played every minute of the Gold Cup last year.
01:57They go short this time.
01:58Pulisic linking up here with Tillman.
02:00Lays it across.
02:01Anthony Robinson to drive it in.
02:03That save.
02:05Le Mans, the Manchester United keeper getting down well.
02:08He's in today with Thibaut Courtois out injured.
02:10Here's De Bruyne.
02:11De Bruyne's cross field ball.
02:13I've never seen him do that before.
02:14Don't say that too loud.
02:15The fourth official is going to look over you.
02:20Tillman then with this delivery.
02:22Third corner in towards that front post.
02:24All the way towards McKinney in the back.
02:26What a stop from Lovins.
02:28The Manchester United keeper comes up big at close range
02:31to deny the United States an opener.
02:34Here's De Bruyne.
02:36He's got Darkoos.
02:37He's played at the back lately at club level.
02:43Tillman with a really good run forward
02:44and Pulisic able to pick up the pieces here
02:47on the edge of the box.
02:48Christian Pulisic trying to carve something out here.
02:50Comes back towards Weston McKinney.
02:53Robinson.
02:59Full safe for Tillman.
03:01Shriffle Balligan.
03:01Balligan strikes.
03:03Lovins with a save.
03:04Low to his left.
03:05Is he really here?
03:06Yeah, he is.
03:07Oh, man.
03:08I played against that guy.
03:09Didn't get near him.
03:09What a beautiful player.
03:10The next pull we should do is
03:11who has the better set of hair?
03:12Are you?
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:13Kyle, Kevin De Bruyne,
03:15or Alphibe Valtadrama?
03:18Doku towards the byline here
03:20and Turner gets attached to it.
03:21It's just locked in on the goal line
03:23but the flag is up.
03:24Or in fact, it's handball.
03:26It won't count.
03:32Kigalari's not...
03:34Kigalari's not arguing it at all.
03:37A little bit fortunate
03:37because this could hit any part of his body.
03:41As that's coming through,
03:42it could very easily just come off that chest.
03:47Anthony Robinson across to the far side
03:49to take this one.
03:52Robinson's ball for McKinney!
03:57It's Weston McKinney with a goal!
04:01The club and country,
04:03a man in confident mood.
04:06And it's 1-0 for the United States.
04:17He just breathes so quickly and...
04:22Looks like it was Sally Marcus
04:23who just doesn't see him
04:24and it wasn't his man initially.
04:26And that is such a wonderful touch.
04:29I mean, he knows all he's got to do
04:30is just shape that foot.
04:31The ball was excellent.
04:33It had pace on it.
04:34It froze the goalkeeper
04:35because it had so much pace
04:36and wasn't at that height
04:38that he could go challenge it.
04:40Let me see his signature celebration,
04:43the reaction from Pochettino.
04:45But what a lovely finish there
04:47from Weston McKinney.
04:48The Salamak is here just outside the box.
04:51De Bast.
04:53Got turned by De Kuyper.
04:56De Bruyne finds Doku.
04:59Back for Kevin De Bruyne!
05:05Look like it took a deflection.
05:07Well, Belgium certainly wanted that.
05:10Both last summer.
05:14Feats against Turkey and Switzerland.
05:19De Bast for the ball out to Doku
05:20down the left side.
05:23Doku causing problems once again.
05:25Matt Turner with the save.
05:28All the way out for De Bast to drive it in!
05:31Belgium a level in the final minute
05:33of the first half in Atlanta.
05:36De Bast from distance
05:38with a first international goal.
05:47You could be critical
05:49of giving up a goal
05:50when they give up a goal.
05:51That's just an excellent strike.
05:52Turner does everything he can do
05:54and players are coming out there.
05:55That is just a phenomenal strike.
05:58Watch this ball.
06:01And it's knuckling it a little bit.
06:03You could say, you know,
06:04Ream's got to get a foot stat.
06:06It goes to the crowd.
06:07But that all is traveling
06:08at such an incredible speed.
06:12I think Turner just,
06:13he sees it a little late
06:14just because it comes through
06:15so many legs.
06:16So obviously awful time
06:17to give up a goal.
06:18But what a strike from De Bast.
06:24Johnny Cardoso.
06:29The one is pulling
06:30towards the edge of the box
06:31for Salamakas
06:32who drives it in.
06:33Turner powers away.
06:37And the flag is up.
06:46Matt Turner called into action.
06:48A number of times now
06:50towards the end of the half
06:51as the whistle goes.
06:53At the end of the first
06:5445 minutes here.
06:55Here comes to Bruyne.
06:56Doku down the left side.
06:59Cattellera is in the middle
07:00if Doku can find him.
07:01Doku against McKenzie.
07:05And now it's Ananda.
07:06It's 2-1 Belgium.
07:14Amadou Ananda with his first
07:16international goal.
07:26And just right here.
07:28McKenzie, he does a good job
07:29of slowing Doku down.
07:33He gets a challenge on there.
07:34It just falls right here
07:36as the U.S. are crowding.
07:37And you wonder if he can slide
07:38and hit the ground.
07:40You know, at this point
07:40as that ball is coming out,
07:42the best way you can try
07:43to make this block
07:43is just go to ground.
07:45Right here.
07:45And it just goes
07:46right through his legs.
07:49And you can see Matt Turner.
07:50I mean, nothing he can do
07:51about that.
07:51He's trying to set his feet.
07:52He's sliding across.
07:53I mean, it's just well
07:54outside of his reach.
07:57Just tell me,
07:58you wonder if he goes
07:59and hits ground.
08:00He's definitely making the block
08:01and forcing another
08:02touch out of Ananda.
08:04And Turner furious.
08:08Matt Turner beats him
08:09for those games against
08:10Paraguay and Uruguay.
08:11November started both
08:13games in October
08:13against Ecuador
08:14and Australia.
08:16Here's Doku down
08:17the left side.
08:19Doku against Werner.
08:21Doku's ball in.
08:22Gets the return.
08:23It's Doku all the way through.
08:24And Connor with a big save.
08:26And Turner once again.
08:27What a step
08:28from Matt Turner.
08:31But the referee,
08:33I think,
08:34has pointed at the penalty
08:35spot for the handball.
08:37Is it Tim Green?
08:39It looked like it took
08:41a little deflection
08:41as it comes through
08:42to Matt Turner.
08:48I mean,
08:49what about this ball?
08:52Oh boy.
08:53The best.
08:54That's about as good.
08:55I mean,
08:55obviously he had that strike
08:56with the goal.
08:57That's a wonderful,
08:58world-class ball.
08:58I mean,
08:59what about this one, too?
09:00That's just absolutely lovely.
09:01And Turner comes up
09:02with a huge save.
09:04And he gets it.
09:05It's a handball.
09:06Yeah, watch.
09:06Watch his left arm.
09:07Tim Rehm.
09:08It just goes up
09:09right here.
09:12Does it hit his hand?
09:17I don't know.
09:32That Nike switch,
09:33it changes directions
09:34at one point.
09:35And you just wonder
09:36what created that deflection.
09:38No pen?
09:38Of course you would say that.
09:39Of course you would say that.
09:41But great save.
09:42He says,
09:43no pen,
09:43but great save.
09:44It's just,
09:44it's so tough.
09:45It's so tough to tell.
09:49Yeah.
09:50He's sensing them.
09:53Action is the only thing
09:54that maybe gives you a hit.
09:56It's a handball.
09:58It's not conclusive enough
10:00with that replay
10:00to reverse it, though.
10:03The Cazalera
10:05against Matt Turner
10:07for the chance
10:08to give Belgium
10:09a two-goal advantage.
10:16The Cazalera scores.
10:20It's 3-1 Belgium.
10:28The Cazalera
10:29emphatic from this spot.
10:35I mean,
10:36it's an amazing save
10:37from Turner.
10:37I'll say that.
10:38Handball or no handball.
10:40And then this is just
10:41too smooth.
10:46And Turner just thinking
10:47he'll close his hips
10:47with that left foot
10:48and bring that ball
10:50to Turner.
10:51Ball across
10:52to that far side.
10:5322-year-old defender
10:55from Lille.
10:56One of the changes
10:57made here by Rudy Garcia
10:58as Belgium come forward
10:59down the right side
11:00with Muniak.
11:04Doku wanted it
11:05played out
11:05and that ball
11:05goes all the way
11:06from that right side
11:07straight in.
11:08It didn't need
11:09to come back
11:10to Doku.
11:15Look back here
11:16with a superb strike
11:17and Belgium have four.
11:28That's kind of
11:29the theme of the day,
11:30right?
11:30These isolated
11:311v1 positions
11:33wide.
11:34Look back here
11:34at this point
11:36when he picks up
11:36the ball
11:38it's just so easy
11:39for him.
11:39Gets in on that
11:40left foot.
11:43He's got to cheat
11:44him down that line
11:45and you can see
11:45his all left foot
11:46he wants it there
11:47and just
11:48really poor defending
11:49from Arsene
11:49lets him in
11:50on his favorite foot
11:51and then that's
11:52a lovely finish.
11:56Those isolated
11:571v1 positions
11:58just the help
11:59in the first
12:00half hour
12:01half hour
12:01it was there
12:01and since then
12:02they just
12:03haven't had an answer
12:04for a win.
12:06These Belgian players
12:07put their head down
12:08and take them on
12:091v1
12:09and the beautiful
12:10skill
12:11great pace
12:11but just too easy
12:12getting on that
12:13left foot.
