wc2002: usa stun portugal

[ris]

the usa scored three first half goals and survived a late portugese comeback to record a shock victory that leaves group d wide open and threatens the fancied europeans reaching the knockout stages.

usa 3-2 portugal

group d
south korea 1 1 0 0 pts3
usa 1 1 0 0 pts3
portugal 1 0 0 1 pts0
poland 1 0 0 1 pts0

I guess the single means we won't end up dead last in the rankings like last time.

usa could even get through to the knockout phase which would be great, and maybe a game with russia or japan
