Celts wrote The USA have 2 major problems. Firstly, they are horrible at keeping the ball. If you can't keep the ball then it will lead to you being punished. Against Portugal the equaliser came from Bradley losing the ball in the centre of the park. The USA must not do this against Belgium. Secondly, the full backs can't defend. They are happy enough attacking but when they lose the ball they are left with a shortage of bodies at the back. If you want to beat the USA then you must use the wide areas. Belgium should look to pull the USA forward and expose the fact that they are weak on the flanks with a counter attack. I don't think that the USA will go through. Belgium may not be a great team but they have quality and that quality should be enough.

It all depends on how Hazard plays. If he's at his best, USA will lose.

So why can't Hazard (one of the best players in the world) do the same to USA?

IF he's at his best.
