3rd & 7 37yd

What a block from Gonzalez. He's having a great game. Van Buyten with the shot and he is stopped from a few yards out by Gonzalez. The USA side are giving it their all here but they look shattered. It's been all about late goals in this tournament. Are we going to see one now?

11th save for Howard, who punches it over the bar. Corner again

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:43:09 PM
85 mins: Origi slams it from outside the area, straight into Howard. One more save for Tim. Probably his 600th of the tournament. Or something obscene like that.

Corner for the U.S. in the 87th minute

Is anyone doubting #Jurgerns choice in #Yedlin? #BELvUSA #WorldCup2014

Fellaini's still on the field why exactly?

(Cue wonder goal).

Hazard misses from close range. Left side of the area, he hits it with from a tight angle into the side netting. Not even forcing a save from Howard. Two minutes of normal time to go.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 9:47:21 PM
No offsides flag, and a last gasp effort by Howard sends it trickling wide

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:48:11 PM
CHANCE BELGIUM: De Bruyne crosses it from the left to Kompany who just needs to get a clean strike on it and it's game over. But he scuffs it. Belgium now with their 16th corner.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 9:48:41 PM
3 minutes of extra time as Belgium heads to the corner flag again

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:48:53 PM
What happens if it's 0-0 in final time. OT - right?

by Laureen via Snack Media 7/1/2014 9:50:01 PM
A golden chance at Wondolowski's feet, but he can't convert

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:51:25 PM
90 minutes is not enough to decide this one. Headed for extra time in Salvador

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:51:52 PM
HUGE MISS: Worst offside decision of the world cup. But Wondolowski will be happy as he has just missed from two yards out. And on the replay, he was well onside.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 9:52:10 PM
It's 0-0 and we're going to extra time.....

#USA 0, #BEL 0...Scoreless after 90 minutes...And we play 30 more!! #OneNationOneTeam #1N1T http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfXTUkIIAEEd_R.png

Here we go again. No sudden death, 2 15-minute extra time periods

New: Crowd estimated to be between 4,500 and 5,000 at Freedom Plaza in D.C. @WTOP #wtopspin http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfYgLlCcAApmnB.jpg

The inevitable. Belgium score in the 93rd minute, pushes ahead, 1-0

by WTOP Sports 7/1/2014 9:59:53 PM
GOAL BELGIUM! It's Kevin De Bruyne. Lukaku picks it up on the right and cuts it back for De Bruyne. Tight angle on the right, great composure to put it in the bottom left corner.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:00:20 PM
You sensed it was coming. Lukaku showing his strength and now it's all uphill for the US. De Bruyne has looked dangerous all match.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:02:07 PM
by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:02:32 PM
Chance Belgium! Vertonghen picks it up, it was 3 v 2 and he takes too long to hit it. Massive chance for Belgium. USA very exposed at the back now. Looking tired.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:03:45 PM
USA's crossing is too deep at the moment. Lot of tired legs out there.

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:07:13 PM
Kevin De Bruyne celebrates his goal against USA

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/1/2014 10:08:55 PM
What can you say. What a match that was. Belgium were pushed to the end. A brave performance from the USA.

#USMNT Fans: #ThankYou for your support, passion & pride the whole #WorldCup. We stand together as #OneNationOneTeam. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BrfjSB7IYAA6Ksa.png

After playing on the defense all day, the USMNT made that quite a match in the second half of extra time. Always exciting, this group, down to the last second. Thanks for being with us today, we'll do this again soon.

Bernard is favoured over Willian for #BRA v #GER - Big call by Big Phil http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsCyKIrCAAIWABm.jpg

by FootballFanCast.com via twitter 7/8/2014 7:02:02 PM
Three changes for Brazil, with that man Bernard stepping up to replace Neymar. Germany unchanged. Thoughts on those line-ups?

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/8/2014 7:03:55 PM
Neymar out, Bernard in? Good luck Brazil http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsCzC9YCUAIDp27.jpg

Loving that tweet below...

But now more seriously

by Football FanCast via Snack Media 7/8/2014 7:05:12 PM
Shakhtar Donetsk's Bernard is preferred to Chelsea's Willian in the Brazil starting XI vs. Germany. #BRA #GER http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsCxGiECYAEicKy.jpg

1 hour to go! We're just 1 step away from the #WorldCup final. Let's do it! Go #GER! #byyourside #BRAGER http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsCzCYBIAAABI4Z.jpg

11 - Brazil have seen more players sent off than any other team in World Cup history. Rough. #AskOpta @Abba_ari

by OptaJoe via twitter 7/8/2014 7:07:08 PM
16 - Manuel Neuer has made 16 saves at the #2014WorldCup, more than any other GK left in the tournament. Agile. #AskOpta @DanEmsman

by OptaJoe via twitter 7/8/2014 7:07:08 PM
5 - Germany have failed to progress in five World Cup semi-finals, more than any other nation. Stumble. #AskOpta @dean_gibbons

How we expect the teams to line-up in #BRA v #GER bit.ly/BraGerLIVE http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsC0MT4CcAAhfWa.png

by FootballFanCast.com via twitter 7/8/2014 7:08:01 PM
Both Neymar & Thiago Silva out for this game is a blessing in disguise for Brazil. Dante and Bernard shall make the difference tonight

by Elroy De Kock via twitter 7/8/2014 7:11:53 PM
I have always rated Bernard so highly. I believe he will be a good replacement for Neymar.. pace & dribbling. Go #brazil.! #WorldCup
