Guys, the first half of the world cup is pool play, just like any other tournament played. You're playing for as many points as possible. The USA finished with 4 points and Portugal finished with 4 points. The USA had a better goals difference (goals scored - goals allowed) thus they move on the tie breaker system.
From this point on, it is knockout play. No more ties, no more worry about points or goal scored or allowed. Now it is win or go home.
Yeppers...I know Brian just mentioned he likes our chances, Belgium has been red hot. Yeah it was a weak group, but Vertoghen has looked unstoppable and any time your playing Eden Hazard, well thats scary too
