NEW YORK CITY — Despite losing to Germany last week, the U.S. made it out of the "Group of Death" in the World Cup and onto the final 16.

The Yanks now have to defeat Belgium, the European "dark horse" favorite to win the tournament, to advance to the round of 8.

The last time the two sides met in a friendly match up in 2013, the Belgians beat Team USA 4-2.

New York City has plenty of spots to watch the 4:00 p.m. match, and with elimination on the line, the crowds should be in full force.

If you plan to call out sick or try to sneak out of work early, here's the best spots to watch the game in every borough:

BROOKLYN

Under the Archway, DUMBO
Anchorage Place and Water Street, under the Manhattan Bridge

Like the previous matches, the DUMBO Business Improvement District hosts a huge viewing party under the Manhattan Bridge for every game. ESPN cameras and photographers usually catch the fan reactions at the party, so avoid it if you're camera shy.

Berry Park, Williamsburg
4 Berry St., 718-782-2829

This Williamsburg soccer spot has a large outdoor area with multiple oversized projector screens so you won't miss any shots. The bar also has 14 beers on tap, and a German and American food menu to chow down on during the game.

Lone Star Bar & Grill, Bay Ridge
8703 5th Ave., 718-833-5180

This Bay Ridge honky-tonk serves as home to the local American Outlaws supporters club, who are sure to be chanting and cheering the entire match. The bar offers drink specials and a $15 all-you-can eat BBQ while you watch the game in the large outdoor section.

MANHATTAN

BXL East, Midtown East
210 E 51st St., 212-888-7782

Jack Demsey's, Midtown
36 W 33rd St., 212-629-9899

If red, white and blue run through your veins, visit the Midtown home of the large American Outlaws NYC chapter. The bar will offer drink specials during the fixture, and a potential large celebration for the supporters club if U.S. wins the game.

Harlem Tavern, Harlem
2153 Frederick Douglass Blvd., 212-866-4500
