USA soccer vs. Australia prediction
USA Today: After a performance like that against Paraguay and playing in front of what is sure to be a fantastic crowd in Seattle, it's hard not to pick the U.S. to get off to a 2-0 start. Prediction: USMNT 3, Australia 1
Yahoo Sports: The USMNT will score twice in this game, but will concede a goal in the process. They get the win and clinch Group D, while Australia will need another point in their final game to secure moving on.
NBC Sports: This feels like it could be a draw, but given the confidence the U.S. gained from that opening win, they will get it done to take control of Group D. USA 2, Australia 1.
