Correct. We should stick to sports where it’s easy to score and the ones we are good at. To do otherwise is un-American.

If a goal is multiplied by seven, a 2-1 score would be a respectable 14-7 grind. Add a periodic penalty kicks and multiply those by 3, then you might even have an exiting 31-24. Oh and allow a few concussions and periodic beer and bathroom breaks.

Portugal will be tough for us without Altidore if his hamstring doesn't shape up.

They may have lost Pepe, but they have enough weapons to beat us without him and they are motivated after getting spanked by Germany.

We shouldn't have beaten Ghana given the possession differential, the defense was incredible and Howard was the MVP.

But the US played far better than Iran or Nigeria in that sloppy mess they played. We belong in this tournament - beating Portugal would be a major step in the right direction.
