Hey, "Power Rankings"! , ... and the USA has been elevated above "long shot" to "middle of the pack" ... "so you're telling me we got a chance", .

I really don't know why they would consider Belgium to be so much better than the US. Belgium are good but i don't think they are great.

Belgium has a few really strong players, Hazard, Kompany & Fellaini, but I agree.

So far the 'favorites' are 4-0 w/ 1 to play today
Dark horses 1-2 w/1
middle 1-1 w/ US playing today
and long shots at least hung tight before going 0-3

Belgium is hurting. There 2 top defenders are not 100%, and might not play at all

Well, I don't think too many people were expecting USA to advance, but they certainly put a scare into Belgium ... could have been a lot uglier if it wasn't for Tim Howard's gargantuan efforts in goal (16 saves = the most in a World Cup game since 1966) ... it was a good run boys, .
