Intro:

Fans of the United States are in confident mood in Salvador ahead of their World Cup Round of 16 match against Belgium.

Script:

Coming here is some prize for getting through group G for USA fans. Salvador is the venue for their Round of 16 match against Belgium and despite the obvious talents of their opponents, they're hungry for more.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Alex Eckel, USA Fan:

"I think we're going win two to one. I think the US is going to win and it will be a really tight game towards the end. It is going to be nerve wracking and I think Belgium is a great team. But the US has been playing so well and Klinsmann's got them really organised and confident and if we play the way we did against Portugal I think we can do it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thomes Kent, USA Fan:

"I think we have a really good shot. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a draw and maybe even goes to penalties and then it is anybody's game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Bryan Kent, Team USA Fan:

"I think on paper if you look at individuals Belgium would definitely, definitely, win. But they haven't really played too well as a team and a few of their players haven't showed up, the likes of Romelu Lukaku, but I am going to go for a one nil, US win, hopefully, hopefully."

Make no mistake, this is huge for the future of soccer in the USA. They've been fishing for more fans for decades, their performance in these knock-out stages could change the game forever.
