Players lining up in the tunnel now! We're moments away from the walkout here in Salvador! #USAvBEL

Johnson caught forward and Belgium gets an odd number rush. Johnson was through with the right pass, but Belgium intercepted.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 8:24:40 PM
Turnover and Belgium counter. It's played into De Bruyne who cuts by his man. Rolls it just wide from 16 yards! Phew! Big chance.
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 8:26:29 PM
Beasley with a vital tackle on Vertonghen's cross/shot. Belgium pressing to open the scoring.

Belgium corner is headed straight up in the air. Origi and @Jermainejunior tangle and Jones clears. #USAvBEL
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 8:28:44 PM
Another Belgium corner fizzed into the near post and headed clear. #USA try to counter. Zusi lifts it for Dempsey but Van Buyten deals w/it.
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 8:29:33 PM
Belgium ascending now. They are taking control of play. The USA counter is not letting the pressure off. They need a spell of possession.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 8:30:42 PM
Origi causing problems again. Takes on Gonzalez who does well to block. Howard comes out to grab it. #USAvBEL
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 8:31:30 PM
Bad news for the #USMNT . Johnson is down and holding his hamstring. Trainers out to assess...DeAndre Yedlin warming up quickly.

We hope that @ussoccer sub @yedlinny has a little #HoneyBadger magic in him! Right @Mathieu_Era ?

Back underway in the second half! 45 minutes to decide a place in the last 8 at the @FIFAWorldCup ! (maybe more minutes...)
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:05:03 PM
#USMNT @J_Klinsmann on the sideline...what's your next move if you're the #USA head coach? #1N1T http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfMZy-CAAAfkGo.png

Maybe don't tell @FellainiM #manU RT @WayneRooney : Have to admit I'm a USA fan today
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:05:55 PM
Belgium with the first chance of the second half. De Bruyne scoops to Mertens and @TimHowardGK tips the header over the goal! #USAvBEL
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:06:31 PM
Belgium opens with more of the same. Floating header was going to hit the woodwork but Howard pushes over, taking no chances.
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:23:21 PM
Starting to feel like USA Germany in that US are working hard and defending, but seeing little of the ball and being massively outshot.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:23:44 PM
The eyes of #USMNT midfielder Michael Bradley show intense focus. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfQr4FCcAEnUqQ.png
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:25:16 PM
USA keeping 10 men behind the ball to defend. But it means little relief, little possession and not much in the way of attack.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:25:19 PM
More from @yedlinny . Gets to the byline and stands the ball up to the far post toward @AleBedoya17 ! Courtois does well to snag it. #USAvBEL
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:27:16 PM
Is there a tactical change to be made? A vital sub? Because I do not believe the USA can keep a clean sheet for 50 minutes to get to PKs.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:27:56 PM
Axel Witsel goes close for Belgium! He takes a touch and fires it from 22 yards. Wide of Howard's right post. #USAvBEL 0-0, 70'
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:41:29 PM
Kompany tries to slide it through for Van Buyten after a corner. Besler down to slide away and clear. Another #BEL corner; headed wide.
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:41:47 PM
Belgium has largely closed down the USA attack down the right. Yedlin found some space but Jones let down by his touch on the cut-back.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:44:35 PM
Jones crosses in and Van Buyten turns it behind for a corner...Opportunity for the #USA from a set piece here...

USA out of sync. Wondo, Jones, Dempsey not linking up.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:47:09 PM
Chance for #BEL ! Another counterattack comes to Hazard on the left side. He tries his luck but puts it wide!
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:47:42 PM
Two minutes + stoppage time to go. Can the #USMNT find a winner before the end??
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:48:00 PM
De Bruyne in for Kompany! His shot is pushed wide from close range by Howard!!! #BEL corner...
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:48:24 PM
It would have been sad if Kompany scored on that doink.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:49:05 PM
Hazard causing problems again. Crosses in at the near post and headed wide by Gonzalez. #BEL corner. 3 min of stoppage time.
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 9:51:03 PM
Wondo with victory on his boot but skies it.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:51:08 PM
What a chance for Wondo! Jones flicks it on for him but he puts it over from close range!!
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:53:36 PM
#USA 0, #BEL 0...Scoreless after 90 minutes...And we play 30 more!! #OneNationOneTeam #1N1T http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfXTUkIIAEEd_R.png

Lukaku on for Belgium. Big, physical forward with a great finishing touch. And fresh legs.
by U.S. Soccer MNT via twitter 7/1/2014 9:59:51 PM
Goal for Belgium. De Bruyne pounces on a blocked shot and buries it from close range. #USA 0, #BEL 1
by michael whitley via twitter 7/1/2014 10:00:50 PM
And Lukaku burns the USA right away with a deep run down the right. His pass connects and Belgium find the first goal in extra time.
