^indeed, but all the European teams are performing badly on this cup. To the point one has to wonder if the timing of these events suits the sport or not. To my mind, it doesn't. I'm from Portugal and the first match was also a blatant disgrace, the physical levels of players is laughable at this point, more injuries then ready for everything players, even Ronaldo is crippled and but a shadow of his real potential. The States DO stand a chance against us, they may very well kick us out of the cup for good tomorrow.
Just an observation of an European who never ever lived in America.
