As it turns out, the Germany 4-0 blowout of Portugal was the decider that sent Germany and the United States on and sent Portugal and the Ghanaians home.
This is one of those times that a 1-0 loss is a win as the US moves on to play, probably, Holland
And here's how Ronaldo put the Portuguese in front of Ghana for good...
But, the incident that will make everyone remember that particular match comes from something worse than a cup-check

When Live Shots Explode...Sometimes, It's Funny...
((HT: KGW-TV))
Drew Carney is KGW-TV's man about town in Portland...
He was promoting a beer garden constructed just for the events in Brazil for the next month or so. His timing was squared with the USA-Ghana match to being with and his live shot was going on during the latter stages of the match.
You can make a pretty good guess as to exactly WHEN his live shot happened...
Sometimes, you just need to be lucky. And the HQ thinks that Carney will have to be live during the Portugal match this weekend...
Jus' saying...

And Then John Brooks Went And Broke Twitter As USMNT Wins
((HT: FIFA/gsports2's Vine))
Ayew scored off a brilliant pass from Gyan to tie the game at ones, but in the 87th minute, John Brooks (the second of three Klinsmann subs) scored on the corner entry from Graham Zusi (the last Klinsmann sub)
And reacted thusly...
Lesson here: Do not question Jurgen Klinsmann and his substutions EVER AGAIN!!!
Team USA beat Ghana 2-1 in their opening rounder...
Next up a Portugal-less Pepe over the weekend...

Clint Dempsey's Goal Broke Twitter
((HT: ESPN/FIFA))
It was the 5th-fastest goal in World Cup history and the fastest ever in the history of the US National Men's team. But Clint Dempsey caught the Ghanaian defense napping for this opener in competition
Larger issues are around Jozy Altidore's injured hamstring and Matt Besler wasn't too far behind in the 41st minute to go along with the shot Dempsey took to his nose- which is, probably, broken.
