      We wouldn't have to. We could advance with 4 points and the goal difference tiebreaker against Portugal. That's who we want to win on Thursday if we draw today.

            For a team like us though, at this point we *do* have to win no matter what. Style will have to form later if it doesn't come with winning as a "package deal."
            Entertainment is a worry when other teams are playing. Do not care how 3 points is gained when the US is playing.

              Yeah I'd much rather win the World Cup by winning 1-0 (parking the bus, and that goal being a cheap own goal) every time, than crash out in the knockout round (or before) playing entertaining soccer.

                              If you go by Landon's advice, when does Wondo come on?

                              Also 2 subs now used by Portugal.

                              EDIT: 3rd Portugal sub used. When will we use ours? IMO we should go for the win. Let's put destiny in our own hands!
