how cold it is, it's cold. because they're pretty tough cold. but it was so it's nice to be back when it's a little warmer, and i have to begin by congratulating our soccer team, team u.s.a., for advancing next round of the cup. u.s.a. absolutely. we were in what's called the group of death. and even though we didn't win toughest were in the through. and we got so we've still got a chance to and we could cup. not be prouder of them. they are defying the odds, and earned aa lot of believers in the process, and i want to knowy on the team that all of us back home are really proud of them. let me tell you something. i've been really looking forward d.c.tting out of ( laughter ) but i've also been looking couple to spending a days here in the twin cities. littlenda is still a loose. and i might pop in for some ice a small business. i don't know, i'm just going to i go along.s with secret service, i always tease them, i'm like a caged bear, and once in a while i break loose, and i'm feel super loose today. [applause] so you don't know what i might do. who knows. but the main reason i'm glad to be here is because i just wanted to talk tohance folks about their lives and hopes

u.s.a. they didn't play well but they came out the first round of the world cup with three points. star stunning enough. >> how did it happen, klinsmann? >> german steel. young teamis team spirit and the team strength. that has come through. they fought hard, battled hard. clint broke his nose. this is an honest, tough group of kids. not necessarily the most talented group of kids in the tournament. these kids are going to fight and fight all the way. >> the reason we thought the u.s. had to win this game is they are in the group of death and portugal and germany are coming up. is portugal really overrated or is germany that good? >> germany are that good. you look at portugal, their body language, never showed up. he has been injured. they were fighting amongst themselves. we may be playing the portuguese team that's demoralized or -- >> by the way, there's a portuguese team that barely got into the world cup. they just barely scraped in. i just don't think they're as good as everybody has been saying. if we draw with portugal, we're through. >> i think we're going to -- >> we should go through. this team is well disciplined, well organized. >> i have to ask you

team u.s.a. can still make it in the next ground as they face germany on thursday. a win or tie can see them through. hope is not lost altogether. those are your headlines. how are you feeling about it this morning, brian? >> to be seconds away from advancing and to be able to coast through germany and america watching 20 million strong and to see them give up that shot which is unbelievable, i think that is the latest a goal was scored in world cup play. >> i think it is dumb they don't have a winner at the end of it. i hate a tie. >> all i can say is next round it's knockout. think of it as regular season. >> if people watch. they're a little bummed out today. >> we get off the mat, don't we, as a people? >> meanwhile, seven minutes after the top of the hour. it's been nine days since off-duty fire fighter michael herdman went missing in california's las padres national forest. he disappeared while looking for his dog. yesterday search team found the dog but no evidence of his. >> there is a break through in the search for michael herdman. his dog luke is found this morning and he's in relatively good condition at the trail head of the national forest wher
