Quote:So soccer or futbol fans, is this better for the US that Germany won or would a tie have been better?

 

Combined with the red card and injuries to starters, I think this is better. Portugal next has to play the USA in the hottest stadium in the World Cup after having to run extra hard for over a half playing 10 v 11. Great chance to get 3 points next match which means a tie today could get us through instead of needing a win.

 

Plus, Germany likely will have clinched advancement before playing us which means they might try to kick it around and go for a tie. But here is all that insight and more presented in a much more entertaining fashion.
