United States coach Bob Bradley believes his side can take advantage of finishing top of their group, ahead of England, by reaching the final of the World Cup. You know what; we tend to agree.

We don't necessarily think that the United States will, but finishing top of Group C offers a fantastic chance and we did think that England stood a chance, so we have to say that the United States do too.

The United States take on Ghana in the round of 16 today, with the winner facing either Uruguay or South Korea in the quarter-finals. Uruguay have played well and we fancy they will win - but we also fancy the United States can beat both of those teams.

"If we continue to build on the successes so far we can go to the end," Bradley said.

"We try hard not to get ahead of ourselves but at the same time everybody has this idea that if everybody gives their best effort, if everybody puts everything they have into it and if things go our way then we can travel far."

If we had to put money on who we though would go the furthest, it wouldn't be England at the moment so the United States must be extremely happy with what they achieved.
