I did the same and even bet on Alex Morgan to score but it was a bust.
Portugal's defense was quite good because of the many chances USA got on the other hand, I also like the performance of Pereira and Portugal players who dare to play the ball more than USA in this match.
The second half could have gone Portugal's way if Ana Capeta's shot hadn't hit the bar but unfortunately it ended in a scoreless tie.
With this, the Netherlands are firmly at the top of Group E as they won easily against Vietnam.
It was really a shame for Portugal to leave the World Cup, despite having played well. But, they should have played more against Holland. If Portugal had played a match like the one they played against the USA, maybe now they would still be in the competition.
But, for a team that was at the Worlds for the first time, you just have to leave with pride, and keep working to progress even further.
Congratulations "Navegantes" (Nickname of the Portuguese women's football team).
Portugal ended up finishing third by one point but if they had played well in the first match against the Netherlands the result might have been different. But as you said, even though Portugal failed to continue in the competition because they failed in the group stage, they can still go home proud because they have shown their best.
Now maybe we'll just focus on the last 16. There are some interesting matches in my opinion, especially maybe for the Sweden vs USA match which I think is quite worth watching.
This will be another test for USA because of course we know how strong Sweden was in the group stage and it could be that if USA performs the same as in the group stage maybe it will be very difficult for them to qualify for the quarter-finals.
