but the bottom line is, we barely lost to germany. portugal smoked by germany, 4-0, and that's why we advance and they do not. this is the first time the u.s. has moved to the knockout round in consecutive world cups. that means the u.s. will play belgium on tuesday. if they can manage to win, if, we would possibly face the winner of the argentina/switzerland match in the quarter finals. but just beating belgium would be a huge victory and an improvement over what we did last time, four years ago when we lost at this next stage. >>> let's go to the nba draft last night, cavs making the first pick for the second year in a row. >> the first pick in the 2014 nba draft, the cleveland cavaliers select andrew wiggins from toronto. >> all right. cleveland takes wiggins as the top overall pick followed by jabari parker as the number two pick and he went to milwaukee, which is great for him. the miami hit traded their first round pick and two second round picks to the charlotte hornets, grabbing napier, remember him from connecticut's run? no one happi

we have to find ways to advance against ghana, portugal and germany. >> it's a huge win just to advance out of that round. >> yeah. i mean it would definitely give us more confidence than to hit the next one and then in a world cup, you never know. a world cup is not about the momentum. it's about who is on top of this game in that specific moment similar to sn olympicts every four years. you have to time it right. >> that's what we are trying to work on right now is to time it right. the peak comes in brazil when we go into the first game with ghana and builds on, hopefully, a 3 point result for us on a win and takes the next one in line. the next one is portugal for us with christian ronaldo and german is one of the favorites for the title. anything is doable. anything is possible in soccer on a god-given day, i believe that this u.s. team, we can beat anybody out there. and so hopefully timing works out. >> u.s. fans are standing up and cheering right now as you say that. so, you know, you have said that you deeply believe soccer in a certain way reflects the culture of a country. yo

[audience reacts] you don't think an american team could win? what kind of an american would say that? terms out a german one. because team u.s.a.'s coach is juergen klinsmann, a german soccer star seen here being german. [laughter] he also said, "we have to play the game of our lives seven times to win the tournament." so what? so what, jurgen, we can play the game of our lives seven times. they did it every night on "friday night lights." what's your problem? that's the american way to, give up before you begin. what if the pilgrims had gone back to england and said, "there's no point. we'll never kill that many indian

the portugal/germany became we watched earlier today, that's huge for us to see that portugal gave soup many goals. >> alex, which player would you say was the most instrumental? was it john brooks, clint dempsey or someone else? >> i think it was all three subs that came off the bench. they lifted the energy of the team. john brooks came in and did so well. obviously with the header but in the back as well. obviously he -- i think he had one mishap but he recovered from it. in the back tim howard played really well. i think it overall was a great team effort. obviously there were some individuals that didn't play as well as we usually see them play but i think there might be some adjustments moving forward and like i said before, there's more positives to take out of this game. >> abby, the women's soccer team has had a tremendous amount of success including taking home the world cup in the past but the men haven't quite reached that status, that height of success yet. could this be the year for them, do you think? >> well, i haven't picked -- i have them picked in our team pool. i hav

they lost to germany by only one goal. portugal was able to beat ghana, and the goal differential there was good. so all of that makes the united states happy campers, even with the loss today. >> and here's a little factoid i got before coming up here. since we made it past this round, this is the first time ever the u.s. has advanced to the knockout stage. two world cups in a row. do we know at what point here, as this is about positioning, moving into the knockout round, rachel, what point will we know who we play next? >> here's where the fact they lost today does come into account. the fact they lost to germany today means that, yes, both teams are moving on, but germany is going to have won the group. and by winning the group, germany gets the better seating. again, just like our american sports, right? if you're a number one seed in the nba or nhl playoffs, you get to play the eighth-ranked team. well, the u.s. is going in as the number two team from group g. so in all likelihood, they will play the best team from group h, a

and if you'd joined us about an hour ago you would have seen just how packed this bar when the germany portugal game was on. let's get into perspective here. during the american football finals known as the super bowl, the televised audience was over 100 million. and four years ago, the bormd was about 20 -- the world cup was about 20 million. certainly nothing to shine away from. but david beckham is starting a team in miami. younger audiences as the demographic changes, there is a growing popularity, of football, known here as as soccer. many think of the game as something slow where the teams can be zero, zero at the end and not very exciting. but certainly given the time difference, the games are playing perfect times for american audiences the big networks will be watching just how many people will be tuning in. certainly they've made it very accessible and pouring in plenty of time into the world cup this year. >> reporter: andy gallagher. thank you. >>> each year at 15:40 gmt. spokesman for michael schumacher says he is no longer in a coma from a skiing accident in france. he has 37th gr

going up first, portugal and germany. but i think we get a win in that first game which we are definitely capable of against ghana. that opens the game up because then ghana has to go against those two teams. i'm really looking forward to it. >> tell me about your message with johnson & johnson. >> care inspires care.com if you want to check it out. they're the first health care sponsor of the world cup. they're going to have emergency medical kits on the side lines. never had a standardized medical kit. this is something that as a player, it takes something off your mind. you can just go out there and think about playing your sport. but as a parent, you know as a parent, you know, you want to inspire health and wellness among your kids and your family. playing soccer is a we to do that. >> you brought your special goal. we got to get the ball in between these three slots. first hasselbeck goes. come on! oh, my! even with high heels.

another world cup favorite, germany, kick off campaign against portugal.e three-time winners have not won the world cup in 20 years, but the regulars having reached the semi final in the last three tournament's, their first assignment in salvador is a tough one, against the portuguese. >> the team to are most likely to compete for the title are, of course, all the strong teams, with their own individuality. portugal is now playing germany. that is the second in world rankings against the four-seam. i think that each game is very important for us. i repeat, if we defend well, if we use opportunities in our attacks, then i believe we have a very, very good chance to go very far in this tournament. chris chana renaldo is likely to start in portugal while germany has a goalkeeper available. the goal for martin brought his second victory on sunday's final round of the u.s. open. the 29-year-old german one the 2010 championship, leading for the first round of the one under par with a final-round 69 victory at pinehurst in north carolina. the san antonio spurs ar
