controls it. >> that is why we call her gailing. >> and dillon has been following this bad weather in all seriously, and been following it for us. >> it is the same areas hit over and over again and with relentless rain. we have had several tornadoes touching down and this weekend, we could see more dangerous weather especially in the midwest. >> reporter: a dangerous system hangs over the middle of the kun t count country. a tornado touching down late friday in western kansas, but no e reports of any injuries or serious damage. in that same area, dark clouds and powerful winds also whipped up a dust storm before dumping hail. a tornado swept right down main street in colfax, wisconsin. no injuries, but frightening memories for a town that was all but wiped out by a deadly twister in 1958.

the severe weather stretches south to galveston, texas, where a tornado ripped through a mobile home park thursday and took out powerlines, but nobody was hurt. >> i mean, stuff was flying all through to a air. it had me scared. >> reporter: up to five inches of rain caused flash flooding in southwest louisiana. the rain has been relentless all month long in minnesota. the swollen mississippi in st. paul crested at over 20 feet friday with 35 counties under a state of emergency. but it is not just the continental u.s. in the far north, alaska, torrents of rain sent rivers over their banks in denali national park, and washing out roads and stranding visitors. and we are looking for the same setup through the plains and the upper midwest. the air is warm and humid and behind it is the cold front and that is the trigger for the storms. we do have heavier downpours and isolated storms down through kansas right now, but it is

later on this afternoon where we will see more storms developing in red from minneapolis right down to the wichita falls and stretching into parts of texas. nine states will see the potential of very strong storms today. now it is not going to be a tornado outbreak, but we could see isolated tornadoes, but the biggest threat is going to be for damaging wind gusts and also forcing large hail. and flooding is a huge krn as well with the downpours producing inches of rain. we have flooding concerns with the major flooding of the mississippi stretching right down into western illinois where the orange and the yellow areas are indicating where we have minor to moderate flooding. with more rain on the way, the flooding is going to continue to be an issue, and we will have to watch that later on this afternoon and especially in northwestern iowa where we could see another two to three inches of rain and this area not catching a break. >> thank you, dillon. we will get the rest of the national forecast in a moment.

is that now prove it. our next step is to beat belgium. is it do-able? absolutely. >> reporter: the drills were strange, but klinsmann's message was not. >> this is the time to step it up, i told the players. this might be the last game in the world cup. >> reporter: the team has two broken noses. jermaine jones and clint demp y dempsey, and both will play and neither with a mask. the u.s. will play a belgium team as many see as one of the darkhorses in the world cup. they are a gifted team and won their group, but not at their best. these players have every chance of keeping their dream alive. and belgium is not convinced of their team. >> everybody in belgium and especially the press are hard with the judgment. we are playing bad, but in the end, we are winning. >> can we do it? yes, we can. >> reporter: and who does that sound like? the first fan and the real

optimist. >> we were in the toughest grouping, and we got through. so we have still got a chance to win the world cup. >> reporter: for the players' families, that is the ultimate dream. the team are trying to keep their feet firmly on the ground. so now they are in the final 16, and that is something that they and america can be proud of, because remember the teams that are now sitting home. spain the world champions and portugal ranked four and italy and england both former world champions and russia all out, and america is in. remember, it is three more games to the world cup finals. back to you, lester. >> it has been a fun ride so far, bill neely. thank you. >> that excitement is growing by the second. the host country will come to a complete standstill at noon eastern when the biggest match of the home country will face chili. natalie morales is there with

more on the excitement. good morning, neshgsat. >> this is exciting here, and brazil cannot afford to lose this up with or they would be out of this world cup which would be tantamount to a disaster here in the country. and chile has proven to be the dark horse here in the world cup and they have surprised everybody, including spain, the defending world cup champs, and nobody saw it coming. everywhere in brazil, you can imagine that the excitement is building and getting ready for the big game, and the country will come to a standstill and people are going to be fixated on this game, and you can believe nobody will get any work done here. and through the knock-out phase now, the world cup is considered a huge success, and all of the talk of what a disaster it would

be and the stadiums not ready and the political turmoil, and all of it is long fort gotten now with each and every exciting game here that we have seen. but all of this could change once again if brazil loses today as i said, it would be considered not only a national embarra embarrassment, but a national disaster and that could set off political turmoil here once again, but again, noon eastern time, the big game chile versus brazil or as they will say it is brazil versus chile and brazil better win, erica. >> that order matters. thank you, natalie. and time for a look at the morning's top stories with jenna. >> and we would say brazil, brazil, brazil, but we will start here in texas where a plane made an emergency landing on a highway. it happened in arlington. the pilot said he lost oil

those drones into action. but now the americans, the iraqi commanders are working in the same regional command centers. and if the iraqis find situation they can't handle, find a stronghold they are not able to deal with, they can just reach other, look over to the americans and say we need your help. you have the drones and planes already here we'd like you to use them. so far they are not authorized but pressure mounting. >> thank you very much. pope francis is back to work following concerns over his health. seemingly tired the pope hosted the president of madagascar at the vatican. the vatican said the pope scrapped fridays plans because he suffered a quote unexpected disposition but there were no

lottery. question. world cup fever, right? >> really grown. >> like 102. it's pretty high. americans may not have given soccer a second thought but now why it's so exciting. we'll g to that in. first to kerry sanders who's done a little investigating and whether or not it could actually continue. you are our voice and our expert on this one this morning my friend. >> well good morning. the big question is what we're going through with all this excitement, will it translate after the world cup is over? and there is a lot of big money that says yes. in fact the owner of the atlanta falcons who play here has just bought a franchise for a professional soccer team. because the belief here is that what we're seeing with all this excitement is a sign that this country is indeed ready for

professional soccer. >> reporter: who could have guessed crowds in chicago, los angeles, even watching the big game on the big screen from the swimming pool on miami beach. some bosses this week shut down work for two hours to let employees watch. it says something. but what. >> people are watching in regard numbers. kids are playing in record numbers. the rest of the world can't be wrong. soccer is here. america is a soccer nation. >> the growth is there. the interest is there. everybody wants to be a part of major league soccer. >> reporter: but we've heard that before. >> now soccer, previously thought -- >> reporter: 1970s pelee joined the soccer league attracting huge crowds.

soccer. but remember this country has a huge immigrant population, people who were born and raised on soccer and moved to this country k. the betting is there are enough of them to make soccer more than just a phenomenon, make it mainstream. >> okay. thanks. i think your bus just left by the way. so catch up. you could say soccer runs in aoren a's blood. now he's sporting director t that new york city football club. nice to have you here. >> good morning. >> you won the u.s. jersey in four world cups. does this one feel different? >> it does. it is to a new level. amazing to see. it's fantastic. the support the way the team is doing as well in the so called group of death to get out has been amazing. and and i think it's the first

time really where our star players are in u.s. soccer is great to see. the growth is amazing to see. as a former player it is certainly proud. >> carrie kind of raised this notion that are we seeing a spike because the u.s. is doing well? and i've heard comparisoninesco. like the olympics, we're all bobsled fans for the two weeks in the winner and then forget about it. will the same thing happen? >> i think there's certainly a spike. it only comes around every four years. but i think it eat important the markets capitalize on this euphoria and really continue this momentum. because the sport is here to stay and it is going to continue to grow. so it's great to see and, you know, we have to really capitalize. that is the most important thing. >> i think those of us who have not focused on soccer in the

past. and we watch these games and one goal makes such a huge difference and the scoring is so low. we're not used to that in a lot of sports popular in this country. talk about the pressure onhis team. the u.s.a. team came with low expectations and now giving hope, to perhaps winning it all. >> certainly came in as an undercog. but as the tournament progressed you can see the team is growing and don't fear anybody. credit to the players and the coaching staff. they have been amazing and fantastic. they went in believing. and why not really. you have seen big nations knocked out with italy spain, home pack their bags. >> nothing is following a pattern here. >> yeah nothing at all. >> and what do you think about belgium? >> it's going to be a tough game. but i believe and the team certainly believes. they are loaded with talent but

they have a lot of pressure as a small nation and hopefully all the cheering here and from the traveling yanks will lead our team to victory. >> let's send it to dillon now in the plaza is with the rest of the forecast. >> to those watching in boston i found a good friend of mine. jeremy reiner. >> hay. hi melissa, happy anniversary by the way. >> he's visiting us on his anniversary. and happy birthday. >> thank you. >> welcome. absolutely gorgeous today. high pressure is keeping things high and dry. we have low humidity. temperatures in the 80s but right through the middle of the country in the neuromusculsame been seeing the weather is again. more the wind threat and large

it's not just about roger ebert, it's finding love, accepting loss and small moments, proshting small moments. i don't cry at movies, but this got me a little bit. it's a great movie. everyone will find something in it. >> you don't have to be a film buff or film critic to get something out of it. >> right. if you are going to be a critic, it will get two thumbs way up. life itself is a life affirming movie. powerful, inflinching, intimate. it's a love affair. i am calling this now, the oscar for best documentary will go to "live itself." >> that's quite a statement. what other movies are coming up? >> i have a big one july 11, planet of the apes is fantastic. >> oh. >> superior sequel to the one that came out three years ago. it's smart. very, very intense. it's a blockbuster with brains

you, why the different colors? >> different breeds of a chicken will lay a white egg. another one brown. >> that's a lot of eggs. one big omelet. excuse me, coming out. excuse me. >> in an area where i didn't hit cars, homes, paths or people, right? >> something like that. over here. listen boys, i'm new at this. you might want to keep your distance. troublemaker, you, out of the way. i was freaked out as i approaches the cows i was going to plow into them. i listened to the wise words of farmer frank.
