According to the Chinese Football Association (CFA), the Chinese players will receive "historic-high bonus" for the World Cup, and the bonus will be added if China can step further.

Midfielder Wang Shuang said: "There must be many chances for us in the quarterfinal. The semifinal is not unreachable for us."

In FIFA's official website, a Canadian internet user named Geo Hardy commented: "I predict China will beat USA in the quarterfinals on Friday with Rapinoe and Holiday out of the lineup."

"I've seen China play live twice in this tournament. Here's why I think they'll win: Firstly, they have two extra days rest, having played their last 16 game on June 20; Second, they are outstanding defensively. I don't think the US will score a single goal," he added.
