I saw that post by Drunkenhorseplayer. Sweden ( #3 ) and Portugal ( # 21 ) are miles apart in quality. Where Portugal had Silva and Pinta , 2 international talents , Sweden can boast 6 or 7 such players. The lack of finish should be a major concern for US backers. Talking about the many missed chances against Portugal , only embellishes the real issue this World Cup. US have trouble scoring. Having a problem scoring against the likes of Vietnam and Portugal is a far cry from the teams they are about to face. Can they beat Sweden ? I think they can, but the only soccer played to date that holds any water is the 2nd half against Netherlands. IMO the remaining soccer played isnt going to cut it against Sweden.
BOL on your play
