It wasn't the result they were looking for on Thursday afternoon, but Team USA is still moving on to the Round of 16 after a 1-0 loss to Germany.
Thomas Muller scored in the 55th minute to give Germany their one goal advantage. The goal came off a rebound Tim Howard gave up.
USA was helped out when Portugal beat Ghana 2-1. The games were being played at the same time.
USA and Portugal finished group play with the same amount of points (4), but with a better goal differential the Americans moved forward.
The Americans will play Belgium in the Round of 16.
