Reading your way through the World Cup - Belgium

Here at Prestwick House, we are excited as another USA World Cup game is upon us. Today, the USMNT will be facing Belgium in what is sure to be a battle to advance to the quarterfinals. Although the men showed promise during their games against Ghana and Portugal, they slowed their defenses against Germany. Here's to hoping they enjoy soccer more than waffles!
