[ laughter ] >> now if you think san antonio spurs got revenge over miami last night, don -- i hear you laughing -- imagine what eight years of frustration for the united states with ghana because ghana eliminated the usa in the last two world cups. so there's more at stake. there were some ghanaians in the bar area here. everything good natured and now let's see what the u.s. can do in the future. >> i'm laughing because i know when you let the microphone go like that you have to trust it's going to come back. richard roth thank you joining us from the west village. lara as well. thank you very much for joining us. joining me now are clint dempsey's brother lance and lance's wife ashley. you guys must be thrilled to death after 32 seconds in the game and he scores. what was that moment like for you? >> it was amazing we were screaming and yelling and then taking a braet and then just taking it all in. >> it was pretty unreal. >> at

all of this is acceptly good for team u.s.a. head coach who was born in germany, will face a country he scored 11 goals at three world cups, winning the 1990 title. in fact, he is the second coach in world cup history to coach against the team he won a title as a player. the team says they plan to leave it all, on the feel. >> we don't see the short rest as being a harm. >> we are not made to go for a tie, it is not in our d.n.a. >> win or draw today against germany and team u.s.a. will move on to the knock out round and the team can keep its world cup journey with a win or a tie, but lose, it is more complicated and depends on the outcome of the portugal game. a win over germany is obviously huge for american soccer and we know that people have been super excited and i am in a twitter battle with someone from san francisco saying who is going do have the larger crowd. i believe san jose will hold it down. we will catch all the action right here. >> a giant turnout is expected in san francisco this morning as fans gather to catc

you don't have these aromas of valuations for these teams. you put 12 million into the team.is an incredible investment. you don't see that in centuries. so, we will continue to raise a level of way. we want to be known as the best sport in the world. the newing a team like york knicks has been frustrating for many years. phil jackson now taking over, a new coach. what do you think of their chances? who replaces the code from the knicks at the nba union? guy in phil have a jackson who's body of work is tremendous. he has nine rinks. oh, he might have more than nine. he has 11 rings. also has one as a player. he has a body of work that says he is successful still stop -- successful. i'm pretty sure he will be coaching through derek fisher. as far as their union, we just had meetings interviewing candidates. inwould you be interested taking over as president of the union? you are already vice president. >> i'm not ready for that role yet but i have had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs. amazing people, advisors and counsel helping us to make decisions from the outside i

so now let's consider the team itself.growing up, playing the game, but does team usa have what it takes to go all the way? sport writer for the "wall street journal," outside the stadium in manaus where team usa will play in 90 minutes against portugal. okay. matt, team usa has what it takes to get this far. but do you see it going all the way? how much it take on portugal? what are the chances. >> going all the way, that's going to be a tall order for the quarter finals to lock up. this is a golden opportunity for them against portugal. portugal's one of best in the world usually. but they're banged up at this point. and they're missing one of their main defenders, got a red card in the first game and suspended in this game. >> my goodness. the u.s., while it is an underdog, i think some people were -- a lot of people were very surprised in its victory over ghana. so, with the main player for the portugal team, ronaldo, being injured, does this assist the u.s. in proving its chances of a win? >> well, i mean, think about

here to step up and perhaps do something, he said not only players on the redskins team, but other teams. >> to a certain degree, you've got so many players on the team, for example santana moss said it was a sad day that this ruling is made. you get them on the same page to do that might be difficult. >> the supreme court will rule whether upstart arrow can continue to broadcast for free. if it prevails, it could impact the nfl television business, which charges billions of dollars to company to say air the games. it would allow the bypass of those prod casters. a lot of people paying attention to that. >> amazon tossing its hat into the smart phone ring. what the on line retail giant is offering up with a new device to steal some of the fire from apple and samsung. >> hillary clinton keeping speculation over a presidential run boiling with her book tour. the ripple effect a female president could have on politics. >> the ducks are on the move, thousands of them swarming the streets and other videos captured by our citizen journalists. >> time now for a look at video captured around the

if you need genocide or displacement to have a team name, then you probably need a new team name. i am here in brazil. when we heard the news about the washington trade prior -- trademark, they were excited not because they care about the nfl at all, but because the fight is always for indigenous people, for visibility, to be seen, to be noticed. that is the same in brazil as throughout latin america and the united states. that is always the challenge for adjust to say, hey, we're here, we are living people and demand our rights. >> we had to take a break that we want you to stay with us because we want to talk about the world cup. amanda blackhorse, thank you so much for being with us. we will continue to follow the story. the case is blackhorse versus pro football. thank you, amanda. we will be back with dave zirin in brazil at the world cup in a moment. ♪ [music break] >> this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman with juan gonzalez. we after brazil, where thousands of people marched wednesday one of the largest protests of the 2014 worl

the team went to baltimore. they got the team back and it is the browns. so i believe the name of a team is huge. and your point is well taken. seminole, trojans -- >> the kansas city chiefs. >> i would not want to offend anybody but there is a tradition and the fans appreciate that tradition. my issue is how this is going down. i don't like that the u.s. trade mark office is running over the nfl and the owner's decision if they want to change it. not a u.s. senator to bully something that is none of his business. >> the issue is then are we watching a legislative process where political correctness is concerned and are we comfortable with that? harry reid letting it out in a blurb and then snowballing into something much larger, i wonder if there were phone calls made after the senator made the comments about the name needing to be changed. do we want a legislated pcness in our society? >> i think if you look at it from the political side. harry reid is saying me jump on this. this is good for me. that does happen. not necessarily he believes in it, but i
