South Africa and Canada have made history by reaching the knockout rounds for the first time, while Haiti has proven that the tournament isn't all about winning. The USA's final group stage match against Turkey is a game that means nothing and everything at the same time. It's a match that matters more than one would imagine, as the USA is riding a wave of momentum and vibes, and a loss could burst the bubble of belief that's built up across the country. The USA, like surfers in frigid waters, are riding a wave right now, and a loss could introduce doubt into the equation, both for fans and the squad.

The USA is rallying with the team, and the biggest thing at stake on Thursday is losing that belief. America likes winners, but it also loves an underdog, and the USA is one of those rare times when Americans can unite behind a plucky group of athletes and root for them to succeed against impossible odds. The USA is in decent standing of being one of the lucky third-place finishers at this World Cup, and the team is in a good position to rest some key players and give minutes to some of those in the squad who haven't gotten out on the pitch so far this summer.
