@nick's rating of Belgium vs United States

@nick rated the Belgium vs United States game 7.9 out of 10 in FIFA on July 1, 2014. Final score: Belgium 2 – United States 1. Round of 16. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“In 2014 I was 23 years old and working at the Grand Hyatt New York which sits atop Grand Central Station and was Hyatt's flagship hotel at the time with over 1,300 rooms. I was at work during this game but my job was to oversee the dishwashers and manage the silverware and glassware for the many restaurants and corporate banquet space at the property. So I casually made it known that I would be monitoring the main bar at the very front if the hotel to ensure they wouldn't run out of steins and pints. I also invited my friends and in between "working" we watched the match together. Needless to say it was one of those core memories that will always be tinted and sad because of how close Wondo was. TO think that 12 years later we would face them again and have an even worse result just goes to show you how far behind US Soccer is from the rest of the footballing world. ”
