WE. DID. IT. Despite actually losing Thursday's game to the Germans by a 1-0 scoreline, the USA emerged from the so-called Group of Death in second place thanks to Portugal's win over Ghana. It marked the first time in US Soccer history that the Americans have made it out of the group stage in consecutive World Cups. Now that the group stage is finished, it becomes a whole new tournament. The USA gets set for a Tuesday afternoon showdown with Group H winners, and a very individually talented, Belgium. Can the Yanks continue their run in Brazil?! Let's chat.
