12. USA
The Stars and Stripes did a very good job getting out of their very own “Group of Death.” Beating Ghana was a heart stopper and getting a huge point against Portugal couldn’t be predicted before the World Cup began.
USA did a great job on converting shots on goal, they just need to finish them off. Unluckily USA should’ve beat Belgium with a Chris Wondolowski tap in, but instead that didn’t happen and Belgium won in extra time.
