Belgium Undeterred by US Crowd

Belgium players have dismissed concerns about facing a hostile crowd in their last-16 match against the US on Monday. "I think we just have to … show balls on the pitch," left-back Maxim De Cuyper said on Friday. "Try to play your own game. If you play against 80,000 supporters or with 80,000, you have to try to do the same."

The US has enjoyed strong support at home during the World Cup, and a raucous, pro-US crowd is expected in Seattle for the match, but the Red Devils remain confident they can overcome the atmosphere. milkshake.it.com
