return to the world cup and today's huge round of 16 match between the united states and belgium. alas two u.s. games so popular on espn's live stream that they caused server disruptions. the u.s.-portugal match was the highest rated u.s. match seen in history. now we have a special guest from surveymonkey. cory johnson is here as well. if i am watching the game, everyone is watching. i do not really watched sports. >> clearly people are watching. the survey we did is that soccer has seen more interest, it is actually ahead of golf now. little skewed by the fact that we are asking during the middle of a world cup -- >> and tiger woods is hurt, so golf is on the decline. >> it is so fun to watch. >> it has a long way to go before it catches football and basketball. >> there was a huge spike in viewership compared to four years ago. >> every world cup has seen that. the numbers of the world cup have blown people away. it also goes to show, i think -- this was not in the survey results -- but great soccer with all the passion doesn't excite americans. i do not know that the mls, which is what people gen

with some very good players and also they were the ones who very nearly only beat the united states in the last group gamet is a team from the u.s.'s group of death that has now made it to the final and that also showed just how well america performed here in this tournament. so why don't we go over to christina mcfarland. >> thanks very much. let me step aside and show you the scene behind me. the fans say their fans have been the most consistent and after thrash brag still 7-1 in the semifinals, confidence is at an all-time high. germany haven't won the title for 24 years but these fans are now ready and waiting to see their country take the title for the fourth time in history. now we go live to my colleague isa soares. >> reporter: thanks, christina. everyone is so excited. they're so tense, so on edge they're so worried that many of them are wearing the same clothes they wore in the first match. they're eating the exact same thing. they're so superstitious but so confident that this is theirs for the taking. they haven't won the world cup in some 28 years but they will tell you they have the best str

it's easy for the united states to talk a strong game. there are things the u.s. can do. you've got to have the case be as strong as possible to get the political consensus you need. >> thank you. appreciate your time tonight. up next, we used to say the politics stopped at that time water's edge. not anymore. and not today. i don't just make things for a living i take pride in them. so when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis was also on display, i'd had it. i finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, he prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsenin

does the united states get involved or do they talk a big game but ultimately do nothing? no, they need to get involved. it's absolutely essential for the united states to take a leadership position right now. putin certainly could reach out and say we would like to assist and isolate the area and keep it from being corrupted more than it has been corrupted and invite in international observers and our national transportation safety board officials and do an official investigation. certainly no one anticipates putin doing it. i think he would remain silent. there are ways to go to putin and say, look, if you ask for this we'll lean in and give you a hand. but absent that, the united states needs to be able to work aggressively with kiev and figure out a way to get in there and get the agreement from the parties they can isolate the site. >> and alyce, why the hesitation from the u.s. government? what explains this? you have peter king on the republican side saying putin has blood on his hands and chuck schumer saying all fingers point to putin but president of the united s

beautiful game, even though it's not high scoring, which is usually what it takes to be a game in the united stateshat's really popular. let's look at the u.s.'s chances. if you look at the stats on the u.s. team, goals scored, us versus belgium, both four. goals given up by both teams, we've given up four, they've given up one. attacks at the ball. shots taken at the goal, 27 versus 43. our record is one win, one loss, one tie. they're 3-0. how do you rate the u.s.'s chances against this belgium team? >> joy, i appreciate your stats, and they're all great, but i'm telling you, once you get into the knockout phases, which is where we are now, all of the stats go out the window. it's all about heart. it's all about execution and emotional control. i think our guys have as good a chance as any in this game today. tim howard right now is the man to watch. if he has a fantastic game today, we'll get through. because right now what happens in this area of the play is that the goalkeepers begin to rise up or fall down. so a team can ride their goalkeeper if they're hot into the next round, and i think if
