We think everybody was eagerly watching Germany quash our star-spangled banner-wielding Southern friends on Thursday with a close score of 1-0, only to be notified that the U.S. miraculously progressed to the World Cup knockout stages as runners-up on goal differential — courtesy of Portugal’s 2-1 win over Ghana. So, basically, the only thing we learnt is that soccer makes absolutely no sense.
