You may have heard there's a little soccer match being played today. In honor of that game—USA versus Belgium, for those who have somehow avoided World Cup news (to which I ask, how?)—ESPN on Tuesday unleashed the new "I Believe" spot below.

If you need pumping up before the 4 p.m. kickoff—and shouting "USA! USA! USA!" in the mirror somehow isn't enough—check it out. It has everything: slow-motion shots of players, close-ups of spit and snot and blood, enraged faces, the glory of history and the fear of defeat, all to the tune of an epic soundtrack.
