News Americas, BROOKLYN, NY, Tues. July 1, 2014: The fans gathered at Dumbo under the Brooklyn Bridge Tuesday afternoon were fired up and excited for a win by the U.S. soccer team but the team’s loss in the 30 minutes over-time to Belgium left many disappointed.

One female supporter even fainted during the World Cup game and had to be taken out from the crowd by FDNY officers, so they could check her blood pressure and vital signs.

But fans had a lot to be proud of.

The U.S. Men’s National Team nealry pulled off the most dramatic of late comebacks in the Round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup at Arena Fonte Nova.

Tim Howard had one of the best goalkeeping efforts in U.S. MNT and FIFA World Cup history with 16 saves. It is the most saves since FIFA has recorded that statistic in the World Cup.

ulian Green made his FIFA World Cup debut and scored in extra time to keep the USA’s hopes alive when the squad was trailing by two goals.

Romelu Lukaku’s 105th-minute tally proved to be the game-winner. Kevin De Bruyne assisted Lukaku’s first goal and also scored an unassisted goal in the third minute of extra time.

With all of the defensive efforts during a scoreless 90-minute regulation, the USA had a high-percentage scoring chance in the third minute of stoppage time when Jermaine Jones headed the ball to a wide-open Chris Wondolowski at the edge of the six-yard box, but the striker’s right-footed shot skewed wide of the goal.

Belgium advances to the tournament quarterfinals against Argentina on Saturday, July 5, at Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia (12 p.m. ET, ABC).
