So thoughts on the match.
1 daft mistake that Cameron almost never makes and a miracle luck clearance by Bruno are why we didn't advance. Sure we had a luck save as well, btu the luck overall was on the side of Portugal.
Overall we were the better side, we deserved to win, but a draw can serve us well. I personally blame the draw on Taylor Twellman who kept mentioning the US never won when conceding first, as we all know you can never tempt the soccer gods. Muchless tempt them over and over again.
I can't point out a weak performance on the squad. I guess maybe Cameron was the weakest? But he made a ton of great plays as well. The players who stood out to me the most were Jones, Johnson, Dempsey in the first half, and my MOTM Besler. I know others will disagree with my opinion of MOTM as Jones and Dempsey are probably the more common picks, but you cannot underate the job Besler did making the perfect moves to cut off passes, block shots and make tackles. By my eye he didn't set a foot wrong and he was a huge reason Ronaldo didn't really have any chances.
