I stayed up to watch the game, at least until the first US goal so I could go to sleep feeling better about the USA's chances and I'm upset at myself for watching that entire dumpster fire of a performance from the USA. Portugal, despite being unable to produce many dangerous chances in front of goal, was so much better in possession, and came within inches of knocking out the reigning back to back champions. It felt like the US couldn't string more than two passes together. It was abysmal.
