If we can keep this up, we'll get the goal back.

Bad first 10 minutes, great rest of the 1st half. Keep the foot on the pedal and we'll get a goal or 2.
Great save by Howard, btw

Bet with your brain, not your heart.
I don't give two shits about soccer...now if this were rugby it'd be a different story.

Terrible turnover by Bradley and a great ball by Ronaldo

Just sickening. I simply don't get the hype. Bradley better show up in Game 3 because that's squarely on him. Possess that ball and win the game.

I'm not lying---I was paying out every bet regardless of outcome of US won. This was rough.

That's the kind of loss that takes the wind from your sails.
Guys, here is how this plays out:
Draw Portugal, lose to Germany. This outcome depends on the result of the Portugal-Ghana match:
◾If Portugal beats Ghana, the U.S. and Portugal tie for second. The U.S. is favored (although not guaranteed) to advance based on goal differential because Portugal’s 4-0 loss against Germany could come back to haunt it.
◾If Ghana beats Portugal, the U.S. and Ghana tie for second. This is a more dangerous case for the United States. For example, if it loses to Germany by more than one goal, or Ghana beats Portugal by more than one goal, the U.S. will lose the tiebreaker to Ghana. It also doesn’t help the U.S. that Ghana’s match against Germany was high-scoring because FIFA’s second tiebreaker is based on the number of goals scored. For example, if the U.S. draws Portugal 1-1, loses to Germany 1-0, and Ghana beats Portugal 1-0, then the U.S. and Ghana will have even goal differentials. But Ghana will have four goals scored to the Americans’ three and Ghana will advance.
◾If Portugal draws Ghana, the U.S. finishes in sole possession of second place and advances.

I've reached a conclusion on what Camus says is the only serious philosophical problem.
