The opening act today is Switzerland taking on Argentina and, sure, that one will be worth watching if only to see what magic Messi come up with this time, but the biggie is in the afternoon: USA versus Belgium, winner advances to the quarterfinals. The USA last made the quarters in 2002, their best run of the modern era. A win today could equal that performance.
USA! USA! USA!
