Well, this is it: Portugal strike late to draw with U.S. and stay alive.The U.S. was seconds away from qualifying for the knockout round when Cristiano Ronaldo served up a great cross that was headed past Tim Howard by Verela. It was the last meaningful touch of the game.
The U.S. went down 1-0 early when Nani scored five minutes in. But Jermaine Jones hit an amazing shot to tie the game in the 65th minute and Clint Dempsey gave the US the lead in the 81st minute.
As it stands, the US will advance with a win or tie against Germany. The US also advances if Ghana win or if Portugal win but don't make up the +5 goal difference between the two teams, or if Ghana vs Portgual ends in a tied. Which, all things considered, is a good spot to be in. But it feels all the worse because the US were 10 seconds from being the first team to qualify in the group of death. Exhausting stuff for fans, and absolutely draining for the players. -
