The U.S. are unbeaten in the tournament so far, but they are yet to truly set it alight as anticipated.

After putting three past Australia in their opening game, Jill Ellis' side have struggled to find rhythm and fluency up front.

Former USWNT player Julie Foudy has not been impressed:

Given Team USA's struggles in front of goal, ESPN's Taylor Twellman notes the importance of them drawing China rather than France or Germany:

Abby Wambach has embodied the team's problems. Her finishing has been uncharacteristically wayward, and the 35-year-old will be disappointed not to have added to her solitary goal at the tournament.

Wambach was critical of the referee's performance in the round-of-16 victory over Colombia. Lauren Holiday and Megan Rapinoe were both booked, and having received a yellow card apiece in the group stage, they will be suspended for the quarter-final.

As Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl notes, Wambach has escaped with a warning and will not miss the crunch clash:

As ESPN's Paul Carr reports, the United States' record against China since the win in 1999 works in their favour, although this will be the first time they have met in a World Cup since.

Also, while the Yanks have struggled with their attack, they have made up for it on defence.

Hope Solo's goal has been breached just once at the tournament so far, and the U.S. have looked strong and composed at the back throughout.

Wahl is full of praise for the way they've defended:

According to defender Ali Krieger, the U.S. are well aware of the threat China poses. Per FIFA.com, she said: "They are quick, they are smart, and technical. They are very smart in their vision and the way they play. We need to finish our chances, but we also need to play quick, and one-two touch game."

China's young side are inexperienced but have proven themselves as capable defenders and worthy quarter-finalists, conceding just two goals from open play.

Goalkeeper Fei Wang believes the side are improving. Per FIFA.com, she said: "I think we are getting closer to them [China’s 1999 side]. We play with the feet more now and we are gaining extra power within us."

Wang Lisi and Wang Shanshan have each scored two of China's four goals in the competition. If the likes of Krieger and Meghan Klingenberg can keep them quiet, the U.S. will have an excellent chance of progressing.

Ellis' charges are hugely experienced in international competition, having finished runners-up at the World Cup in 2011.

This wealth of experience could prove to be the key factor in determining the outcome against the spirited but untested Chinese team.

Without the playmaking talents of Rapinoe, the U.S. may well struggle once again to click in attack, but they have enough to overcome China here. 

Prediction: USA 2-0 China
