Kelley O'Hara called the team huddle to order and got right to the point. This part of the World Cup was over, she told her United States teammates in no uncertain terms. They had come to Eden Park to play Portugal with a single objective — to qualify for the knockout round — and they were walking off the field having done precisely that. No, the performance wasn't nearly good enough. No, it did not meet the U.S. team's exacting standard. But the job was done, O'Hara said, and they had no option now but to look ahead.

Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan were soon making the same point to reporters under the stadium, and Coach Vlatko Andonovski echoed them in his news conference. There was no disputing the accuracy of their claims: The U.S. will, indeed, move on. It will play someone, probably Sweden, in the round of 16 on Sunday.

But this had been yet another unsatisfying performance by the United States, the latest in a recent run of them, and that might have been why their words sounded less like confidence and more like a sales pitch, a way to persuade themselves that their brush with World Cup elimination — avoided only when a late Portuguese shot hit the post and ricocheted out instead of in — had been a close call but nothing more.

Maybe the players believe that. Maybe they will buy that sales pitch. Maybe the United States will look back in a few weeks and see Tuesday night as the moment everything turned. They will hope it will have been for the better. But for just a brief moment, they must be wondering if it might yet get worse.

"Our Favorite Transaction Right Now" (94% success rate)

It involves an instant cash strategy. A way of collecting $1,000s at a time, without buying any stocks upfront, which most people don't realize exists.
 

Dear Reader,

My friend David isn't superstitious...

But 10 years ago, he began doing something unusual for "good luck." And frankly, the results have been amazing.

It involves an instant cash strategy.

A way of collecting $1,000s at a time, without buying any stocks upfront, which most people don't realize exists.

But with his good luck charm, he's logged a 94% success rate. Take a look...

Here's a BEFORE and AFTER photo of David:

Quite simply, he was so successful with this strategy, he vowed to NEVER cut his beard again, for "good luck."

Here's what he looks like today.

But more importantly, he's shown a lot of people the chance to make money. Here's just a snapshot of the payouts he's booked...

$574 on Abbott Labs (ABT)
$672 on U.S. Aerospace and Defense ETF (ITA)
$782 on Wal-Mart (WMT)
$738 on Waste Management (WM)
$476 on SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)
$415 on Phillips 66 (PSX)
$150 on Materials SPDR Fund (XLB)
$412 on Apple (AAPL)
$360 on Google (GOOGL)
$492 on Coca-Cola (KO)

In short: This strategy works as reliably as anything I've seen in 50 years.

You don't have to buy any stocks upfront...

And yet, it could let you collect enough cash to pay for most of your living expenses... month after month... on a single transaction.
