Is this a joke? Belgium trash USA on their soil in a decisive WC test
Belgium produced a clinical second-half display to beat the United States 5-2 in a friendly last night, which exposed defensive frailties in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.In what was billed as a key test ahead of the World Cup squad selection, the US team made an encouraging start and even led at half-time, but were ultimately overwhelmed by Belgium’s attacking quality, led by the outstanding Jeremy Doku of Manchester City.##LINKED_NEWS_63891##Pochettino named a strong line-up featuring Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun, and his side began brightly, pressing high and matching Belgium physically.Their early intent was rewarded in the 39th minute when McKennie rose above Nicolas Raskin to meet Antonee Robinson’s corner, guiding a right-footed finish into the net.Despite the setback, Belgium remained a constant threat. Doku, in particular, proved difficult to contain down the left, creating several openings before helping his side level just before the break.##NAJAVA_MEC..
