And why would it be? They earned their points, beat Ghana and, though they tied Portugal, Klinsmann’s boys arguably deserved the win against the Portuguese team as well.

As soon as Cristiano Ronaldo buried Portugal’s second goal, virtually destroying Ghana’s chances to progress, fans of the USMNT flooded twitter with messages of relief and funny tweets.

Now Klinsmann’s squad will likely face Belgium, which will be a very good test to gage how far this passionate USMNT can go.
