USA
Who They Beat To Get Here: Ghana
Top Goalscorer: Dempsey
Likelihood Of Advancing: Moderate
Their results may not look the best on paper, but the USA have had one of the better structured teams of the World Cup, and put many predictions to shame even after the first game. With just one win against Ghana, the arguable Dempsey-driven team came to a close win with Portugal and a worthy effort against Germany, who are two of the overall better opponents taking part. USA lost their target man Altidore in the early stages, but they won’t go down without a fight against a considerably lower ranked team in the last 16.
USA face Belgium on Tuesday.
