You guys haven't seen much of the USA if you thought Portugal was going to win. USA is a very strong team, tactically very disciplined, physically and mentally strong and fast players and very clinic in front of the goal. They very much like an underpowered Germany (with Mexico being an underpowered Spain, lot of possession but no goals :p).

I knew US was going to win against Portugal and just by a miracle it didn't happen. Against Germany will be a hard fight and I can see a tie between them. In 2002 the US taught a football lesson to Germany, but in the end couldn't score and Germany did. It won't be easy for the Germans.

Dude, it's not that USA is that good or someone slept on them, but should expect them to win. It's Portugal that is in a complete crisis, the team is playing the worst football this century and that is the only reason why they drew this game. Drew. USA is solid, but should never stand a chance in this group.

The US beat them too in 2002, the score was 3-2 and Portugal had a better team then, or at least they played better with Luis Figo on the team. The US has a very strong team that should not be underrated.
