Both
the teams have been brilliant so far in this World Cup with USA qualified along
with Germany knocking Ghana and Portugal out of the World Cup.
Belgium
have an average age of 25.5 while USA have 28.8.
Stat: USA
have only won a single game in the past five meetings against Belgium.
TEAM NEWS:
Steven
Defour will be unavailable for Belgium following his suspension. While captain Vincent
Kompany is also a doubt due to a groin injury.
Meanwhile,
United States striker have Jozy Altidore has returned form a hamstring injury.
USA are free of injury concerns.
POSSIBLE LINEUPS:
KEY MAN TO WATCH:
Eden Hazard (Belgium)
Chelsea
star man Eden Hazard has not done something exceptional in this World Cup.
People expected much from the youngster but has not fulfilled their
expectations. Hazard has set up two goals but has not found the back of the
net. But this time he will make a difference and will be a man to watch.
