Kyle Martino: Don’t underestimate Belgium

NBC Sports soccer analyst Kyle Martino joined the show to talk about the U.S.-Belgium game and what to expect.

Martino said that Belgium came in with high expectations, but hasn’t overly impressive so far. He said that he fears the knockout round sometimes wakes up sleeping giants. He said that this is best Belgium team since the 1980s. Martino said that the U.S. has to know it can’t underestimate Belgium.

Martino weighed in on the state of U.S. soccer. He said that moving on to the Elite Eight would be “massive.”

Martino talked about the impact if they lost. If they lose this game it doesn’t “discredit” the team. And he doesn’t expect as big a fall-off after this World Cup as past World Cups. “The quesiton is soccer here? Of course it is,” Martino said.
