After yesterday's close game against Germany, US soccer fans (or should I say fútbol fans) are very excited and eager for the next match against Belgium. In fact, TechCrunch reported that at it's high point nearly 1.7 million viewers tuned in to the game that aired yesterday, Thursday. That's more than the 2013 Super Bowl!
