As USA prepare to face Argentina for their Copa America Centenario semi-final match at the NRG Stadium in Houston, the home fans are fired up for this crucial tie.
Top on their agenda is to stop the lethal Lionel Messi, who, despite missing the opening game of the competition due to injury, is the top scorer with four goals. USA coach recently revealed that his men were not scared of La Albiceleste ahead of their semi-final clash and their fans seem to the dancing to the same tune.
This match will give Messi a golden opportunity to steer his side to the finals of the Copa America, hoping to win the coveted title after failing to clinch it last year in Chile. The Argentines also lost in the finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and the Barcelona star and his teammates will be hoping to end their jinxed run in the finals of major tournaments. But first things first, they need to cruise past the Yanks. 
On the other hand, the USA are making their fourth appearance in this tournament. Their best performance was in 1995 when they finished fourth and they will be hoping to clinch their first-ever Copa America title in front of their home fans.
Speaking of their fans, here are some of the best tweets urging Jurgen Klinsmann’s men to make their country proud against Messi and Co.
Tonight is probs the most important game in US Soccer history. We're up for a real challenge! GO GET IT IN THE SEMIS #USMNT !!
