Belgium v USA

Never in history has the popularity of soccer been greater in the United States. This surely is related to their recent qualification out of the group stages and they will have a wonderful chance to reach the best 8' should they manage to pass through Belgium today. But can they do it? Anything can happen of course as the ball is round and this is soccer we're talking about, but when we look at their chances, I would say that the European side has the best of them. You wouldn't say so much when looking at their odds, set by bookmakers, but the thing is, USA have had a great campaign so far and as everyone talks how much have they improved, this leads to creating an artificial thought that they can play with top European sides on the same foot.

I am not saying they won't have a chance and I'm not even saying they won't go through. But if we are to talk about chances and probabilities, then I must say that Belgium is the side that looks like value to me, in relation to their odds. Belgium is no longer an average European football team. Belgium have improved a LOT in the recent years and their 3-0-0 campaign so far proves this statement. They have fantastic players who come from some of the best teams in Europe, more experience and more class. It might be that USA are more interesting to watch thanks to their enthusiasm or so, but looking at things from a realistic point of view, it would be naive thinking that they stand a decent chance to create any problems against Marc Vilmots' men.
