Im not wearing this to look different. Im wearing this to fit in. American enthusiasm has run wild, and it all comes down to what will happen in that stadium just a few hours from now. Belgiumusa. The winner advances. The loser, lets not even talk about it. I dont want to offend any belgians. Well bring in lara baldesarra. This game, the pressure. The belgium side has all the hoopla and they have kind of underperformed. The u. S. Has performed well. How do you see it . As a very, very tight match. These two are evenly matched. You talked about the belgians underperforming a bit. Have they been underperforming or kind of heating up at the right time. Scary. Coming into this match with the usa in the best form yet versus a team thats very tough to break through. They have only conceded one goal, a penalty kick so the usa has their work cut out for them. They have Jozy Altidore back but the question is will Jurgen Klinsmann put him in the starting 11 . Im not convinced, but well find out.
