Arsenal midfielder and bit part Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas is tipping theUnited States to get to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
"The best moment for me at the World Cup so far was that nail biting end when the USA scored in the last minute against Algeria. It was an incredible finale and was the most memorable one for me.
"Everybody is talking about it. That was a great moment and they are a great team. We found that out when they beat us in the semi-finals of the Confederation Cup last year.
"So I wasn't surprised at all they finished top of the group. They are fit and strong and dangerous on the counter-attack. They have spirit too - they came from two goals down against Slovenia to get a draw and scored in injury time against Algeria to go through. The USA never give up. That's why I believe they can go much further because they fight to the end and work so hard.
"They are in a good side of the draw now - they have Ghana next, then maybe Uruguay in the quarter-finals. So I can see them reaching the semi-finals and then who knows what might happen."
Group C was an important group and because the United States won it, they do stand a very good chance of progressing in the tournament and we will certainly be keeping an eye on them.
