Do or die today for Team USA

There's no room for error now

OK, so the U.S. lost to Germany, but still squeezed through to the next round. No shame in that. But nothing to be too proud of either.
But the game today? This is do or die. This is one and done. This is all or nothing.
This is whatever cliche you can think of to rabble rouse your team spirit.
If the U.S.-Germany match was a battle of David and Goliath, this afternoon's encounter is David and the Dark Horse.
And Belgium ain't no one trick pony.
The game's at 3 p.m. CT -- enough time for you to skim through this cheat sheet and become an insta-pundit.
