rachel nichols, i'm going to bring you in, in manhattan. you're our go-to sports gal here.ng now into the knockout round. >> well, we're all used to the playoffs, right? you know, it's a tiered system, you win, you win a series, a game, you go on to the next round. the world cup starts with a round robin. so you play all the teams in your group, we're in group g in the united states. you play all the teams in the group and they take the two best teams from that group and they move them on to the next round. and then starting in the next round, it's called the knockout stage. and then it works just like we're all used to. you win, you stay in. you lose, you go home. so that's the territory the united states is entering. but they weren't there yet today, and they performed so well in the early stages of the group round robin that they earned the right today to have the advantage of, hey, losing and still moving forward. and that's what they did. they lost to germany by only one goal. portugal was able to beat ghana, and the goal differential there was good. so all of that mak

i'm back now with carli lloyd, eva chin and rachel nichols.twitter traffic during the portugal, usa match. twitter literally blew up with each goal. so why is this world cup different than any of the other world cups? why is twitter going crazy over it. >> i this i they need into each other. certainly have more people on twitter than before. it's growing every year. we're talking before about the communal experience. it's a great way to sort of share with your friends who might not be around with you are, feel like you're all watching it together. and again, because everybody in the country is basically rooting for the same team. it just makes that communal feeling more exponential. you might be watching an nfl game and on twitter following along with your chicago bears tweets but there's a lot of people rooting for the new york giants. if everyone on your twitter feed is celebrating the same goal at the same time, it adds to the experience. >> carli, i want to ask you this. it's like we want to figure out a reason. why is this, why is that. m

rachel nichols also joins in our chat. so, chris, the u.s. can beat belgium, right? >> absolutely.bsolutely. i think we're not in the world of impossible, we're in the world of the probable. that's the way to look at it. what the heck do i know? down here in rio, this is what i understand, this place is much more swollen than it was when i was here just a week ago. and the culture, for all the beaches and beauty, football dominates. even on copacabana. there are more people gathered around the tv screens than watching what passes for a bikini. we got word out of salvador, jones and dempsey have broken noses and it doesn't look like jozy altidore will be able to go, but rachel can probably give us more information about this. the belgians from their own problems with their health and defense. that may make a difference in the game with the heat and humidity in there in salvador. >> rachel, give us your expert opinion. >> our best player, the captain, the best defender, the heart and soul of their team, he's had groin problems, he may not be able to go either. that's a huge hit for t

rachel nichols, thank you. don't go too far. we're going to keep this coverage moving and grooving. let me show a quick picture. this is just an example of how many people were watching this match. you know, president of the united states hanging out on air force one watching this match, just to prove this is pervasive, this is palpable throughout the united states, whether you have been a soccer fan or not. this really has become a movement, it seems, so far. let's talk weather, though. because if you were watching this match, this was the last time the u.s. played down in the amazon. they had to deal with the heat, the humidity. now they were dealing with pouring rain. amanda davis live for us in rio with cnn sports. and it's beautiful where you are. rio de janeiro but quite a messy match in recife. >> reporter: absolutely, brooke. and it's hard to believe sitting here in rio that the weather is as bad as it is a couple of thousand miles away in recife. of but it was so bad, they were actually talking about postponing the match. so bad, too, that the u.s. friends and family actual

joining me, former professional soccer player and editor in chief of mls soccer.com greg lalas, rachel nicholsnn correspondent richard roth. fifa said they're reviewing the footage of the game and they're going to decide any proceedings they need to take. but given his history, do they look at his whole body of infractions or just the one? >> i think it's impossible for them not to look at the whole body of infractions. when you look at his history, they're going to take into account, just because, you know, they're people, they read the news too, they know this, plus fifa overseas the entire soccer world, club and country. so they can think about all of the history in this when they look at this. >> rachel, one thing i really -- first, let's be clear, we'll give him his due, suarez denies it, said he didn't do it. he said the guy's shoulder ran into his mouth. which is sort of like telling the cop who arrested you the light post ran into my car, i don't know what happens. >> uruguay got so defensive, he called the italian player a great player but as a man he's disappointed me. now he's going

rachel nichols is joining us now with more on what's going on. what is going on over here, rachel?y played in holland, they nicknamed him the hannibal. he is uruguay's best player. but look what happened today. this is the third time that he's been accused of biting, biting an opponent. this is to a defender in italy and you know, the italians lost this game shortly afterwards. they are up in arms about this. a lot of controversy. and it'll be interesting to see whether he plays the rest of the world cup. there is a lot of people who want him banned the rest of the way. >> who makes that decision? how long does it take? >> fifa officials make that decision. they don't have a real process. which is part of the controversy. there are some people who feel they will let this go under the rug. italy is going home. >> i will read a tweet for you from evander holyfield. a lot of us remember that incident he had with mike tyson. when tyson bit off a piece of his ear. he tweeted this, i guess any part of the body is up for eating. i guess that's a little history there. >> i was at the fight

rachel nichols is joining us. a player biting an italian player.cussions. explain what's going on. >> fifa launched an investigation into this. the disciplinary committee is taking a look at it. an hour ago was the deadline for luis suarez to submit his defense. from what's been leaking out, i have to tell you, it's not very convincing to me. first he told a span irk language newspaper that the defender's soldier ran into his teeth. this is like saying the light post, it just ran into my car. not very compelling. then the federation, some officials told other newspapers they are committing that the photos of the bite marks were photo shopped. again, not very convincing. the disciplinary committee can look at this player's past incidents. this is the third time that he's been accused of biting an opponent. his nickname is the cannibal. >> i suspect there's some smoke there. let's talk about the big game tomorrow. usa and germany. obviously a lot of trash talking going on between the german mission to the united nations, the u.s. ambassador to the un
