“If somebody plays by the rules, they shouldn’t be punished for it.”

I had it the opposite. I didn't see us beating Portugal entering this (though if USA comes out of the Ghana match in good health that may well change given today's result) but see us having a better chance against Ghana. But as long as the results come I don't care who they are against.

I think Ghana is the bigger challenge to the US, there’s a reason they’ve beaten us the last two times.

Portugal is a one-man team.
