WROLD CUP 2014

BELGIUM – U.S.

 

Belgium won all three games in the group stage imposing in fornt of Russia 1-0, South Korea  1-0 and Algeria 2-1.

Belgian National  promoted from Group H after winning all three last matches. It is the fisrt time when they win three consecutive championship games at a World Cupl. In the World Championship last July came out from the group of 6 times.

 This match will be a little bit different for them? They will play against an opponent playing whose team is better structured while Belgians have problems in defense in the absence of Kompany and Vermaelen those tow are now hurt.
Belgian Captain, Vincent Kompany is uncertain for this game but could be fit before starting whistle. They are anyway the favorites tonight with three victories in the group with 4 goals scored and only one received compared to the U.S. which has a negative trend.
After the Belgians performance so far we can’t be sure of the victory today, they didn’t have the same power that they show us when the World Cup open it’s gates, so it’s best to play on goals and goals should see both gates!

U.S.  qualified in group G with 4 points, second place behind Germany in the same number of points with Portugal but with a better goal.
In the first match they defeated Ghana 2-1, after having opened the scoring as early as 1 minute and then following 2-2 draw with Portugal and defeat in front of Germany (0-1), but despite this, the situation is not as good at it seems,the  Americans  had only 9 shots on goal in the three matches and this is not so much.
Michael Bradley was criticized for his performance in this tournament but interesting is that it is the player who ran most of the tournament with 38 km...
In all parties before USA have not  a definite possession of the ball in the ground, that’s  why the Belgians will try to take advantage of this, and mark the opposite. The striker Jozy Altidore is expected to return in this game and this can lead to their match.
