USA, 300-l rank outsiders at the start of the tournament, set up a last eight meeting with Germany on Friday lunchtime, after beating Mexico 2-0.
Brian McBride and Landon Donovan scored a goal in each half as they beat ill-disciplined Mexico 2-0 in Jeonju this morning.
The Mexicans lost their cool after conceding the second in the 65th minute, with captain Rafael Marquez sent off two minutes from time for a wild lunge with his head at Cobi Jones.
