Belgium Players: Need 'Balls' vs US Crowd

Belgium's Maxim De Cuyper emphasized that his team must demonstrate courage on the pitch to counter the home advantage enjoyed by the United States. 'I think we just have to … show balls on the pitch,' De Cuyper said on Friday, adding that regardless of facing 80,000 supporters, 'you have to try to do the same' and play their own game.

The US has enjoyed strong support at home throughout the World Cup, with a raucous, pro-US crowd expected in Seattle for the crucial knockout match between the two nations. goldparty.lat
