Thank you, Portugal

The United States men's national soccer/football team lost to Germany 1-0 on Thursday in Brazil in their final Group G match before the Round of 16 segment. However, Portugal defeated Ghana in a game that went on at almost the exact same time, allowing the United States to advance after all and play Belgium in the Round of 16 on Tuesday.

The United States get out of Group G with a win, a tie and a loss, in that order. The Belgians are coming off a sweep of group H with wins against Algeria, Russia and Korea. This makes for yet another crucial matchup in the tournament.
