How is it possible that such a great nation like the USA lost against a country that many Americans have maybe never heard of (unless they talk about Belgian Waffles, Tintin and Chocolate/Beer).
Well, if we look at the FIFA statistiscs here below, it is clear why Belgium won. To win, you need to score more goals than the opposing team. And to score more goals, you need to shoot on target. Well, that is exactly what the Belgians did, and the USA failed to do.
Belgium delivered 27 balls on target (of which superhero Tim Howard stopped 25) whereas the USA only had 9 shots on target, never really threatening Thibaut Courtois.
