A beautiful game vs Portugal

Surely today's match was not the best effort of either team. There were missed passes, mistakes, and plenty of ups and downs.

But what a thriller! What entertainment!

What a shame the game wasn't 15 seconds shorter :)

The U.S. must count themselves extremely fortunate to have 4 points from these first two matches.

The hardest match of the three awaits, however, as Germany have 4 points as well. Since all 4 teams in the group are still alive, the final matches will be exciting and energetic.

And now we will see if Klinsmann's knowledge of his home country does indeed provide the U.S. with that extra bit of advantage to give us a hope, a chance.

I know where I'll be, bright and early on Thursday morning. :)
