The U.S. were just seconds away from becoming the first team from their group to advance to the Round of 16. However, with less than a minute left, Portuguese forward Silvestre Varela saved his team from elimination, heading in a beautifully crossed ball by the great Cristiano Ronaldo.
Pure joy quickly turned dramatically into broken American hearts. A tie is not supposed to feel like a loss, but being so close from escaping the toughest group in the tournament and confirming a spot in the next round, is truly a tough pill to swallow.
Don't put those heads down, though! The Yanks, whom are atop of Group G with Germany, are still in a good position to advance. Good things will come, America, if the belief stays alive!
