It would definitely be a success, however if we end up winning and then losing to Switzerland (if they pull this off obviously) in the quarters I will be disappointed.

I just want a well played game today, and hoping to pull out a W. If we get totally smacked, I'll be pissed.
That's about what I'd think. With, as Like That noted, winning against Belgium but then losing to the Swiss would be a bit of a bummer.

Heartbreaking for SUI.

Argentina seems almost destined, with the way they have scored late goals after nothing for much of the match(s)

No Jozy. No Beckerman. Surprised, but done questioning Jurgen.

Besler, Gonzalez and Cameron all starting.

What happened with Beckerman? Injury or just deciding not to play him?

I'm with you here, but did he happen to say what his thinking was regarding not starting Altidore?

My guess is just rest for Beckerman...or he doesnt feel the matchup is good? I dont know. We never got anythign definitive for Cameron, but he is back, so who knows.

He IS on a YC, but no way is Jurgen factoring that into his decision. Gotta get to the next game first...

I do feel bad because he is playing completely out of position for Jones and Beckerman to shine. But yeah, we need him to at least have good 1st touch. Thats something that shouldnt be disappearing because of position.
