Today the survivors of the Group Stage will begin their battle to make it to the Round of 8. 16 of the 32 teams have now gone home and the "one and done" mentality must start. Each team no longer has three matches to get it right, if you lose...it's so long, see you in four years.
Uruguay and South Korea will start it off in the first match. Uruguay boast prolific goalscorer Diego Forlan. An elderstatesman, Forlan will try to keep his hot shoe in form.
South Korea are led by two goalscorers, Park Chu-Young, and Park Ji-Sung. I suppose they won't "park the bus" like other teams do. :) Park Ji-Sung plays for Manchester United and has scored some brilliant and timely goals in the past for his club, let's see if he can do it against the stingy Uruguayan defense.
The second match is between the United States and Ghana. The last time the two met in a World Cup, the Ghanans sent the Yanks packing. It's payback time and the US certainly has the firepower to get the job done. With the trio of Altidore, Dempsey, and Donovan (who scored the injury time winner against Algeria), Bob Bradley's group of fighters will definitely use their fitness to run down their opponent.
Come on, Yanks!!!
