00:06Richards, put it on there by Pulisic, but he couldn't find where.
00:20Vettinha.
00:25Outros, ball out wide to the right side, looking for Dalot of Manchester United.
00:38That's Trashti looking to clear it away.
00:42Flicked inside by Tillman, and Christian Pulisic battling to get there against Vettinha.
00:46It's gone out of play on the far side here for a throw for Portugal.
00:512016 European champions, beating France 1-0 in Paris after extra time.
01:10Morris gets the block there as Freeze comes out to claim it's so good just watching Vettinha on the ball.
01:15How he finds the spaces, gets the ball so comfortable in possession, passes he picks.
01:22Rarely flustered, but credit to this U.S. side as they have put pressure on.
01:27They have been getting his head down and flustered at times.
01:30Yeah, he's just, he's a class player for sure.
01:33Yeah, Bruno Fernandes being forced a little bit further from the goal.
01:36This is where Fernandes wants to be.
01:39He wants to stay high between the lines.
01:41The U.S. do a really good job of passing him off.
01:47The block coming in there from Tillman on the far side as it goes out for another throw,
01:51which Bruno Fernandes will look to take.
01:59Bruno Fernandes was out for a bit in January with a hamstring injury,
02:02but since returning he's got a goal contribution in 9 of 11 Premier League games for Manchester United.
02:11Duny's all happy now because he thinks his Manchester United have turned it around
02:14and they're going for glory now under Michael Carrick.
02:17Yeah, that's going to last.
02:23Here's Votinia once more.
02:25Pulisic putting the pressure on as it's played across the back.
02:28And Tillman almost forced an error there from Araujo.
02:31Just a third cap for the Benfica defender.
02:3323 years old, Araujo pushing this one forward down the right side,
02:37looking for Trincao as Portugal bring it forward.
02:39Trustee doing the defending here.
02:42Driven in as Richards can clear away.
02:50You can see the difference Richards makes.
02:52He's just a presence, absolutely, a leader in this team.
02:56And just a rock in the center.
02:57And I think the back three makes them a little more comfortable.
02:59I think tactically they're set up the right way,
03:01especially based on what they're facing.
03:03Chris Richards, and you'd probably say Freeze as well,
03:06there's just a confidence that's there that comes with their presence.
03:12Kyle, you mentioned earlier just the communication aspect from down here.
03:15I constantly hear Chris organizing that back line and even the midfield line.
03:20I just hear constant communication.
03:22And that definitely boosts confidence as well as organization within the team.
03:30I think it's up here by McKennie.
03:32And it'll drop for Morris.
03:38He did well there, just riddled his way out of trouble,
03:41and they'll look to play this one quickly from Morris into the middle for Berhal,
03:44to the space on the right side.
03:45And here come the US with Freeman over halfway.
03:48He's got support from Ware.
03:52And Freeman's still going.
03:53Challenger's coming in as it's out for a throw.
04:00Maurizio Pochettino arguing his case to the fourth official.
04:04I think maybe he feels there could have been a free kick in there somewhere.
04:07By the way.
04:09Challenger's coming flying in.
04:10Jesus Perez on his feet as well.
04:13Maurizio Pochettino's trusted assistant.
04:17Yeah, that all starts with Tillman.
04:19He's been excellent this game.
04:21It just, you saw it several times now.
04:23He's moving even when he's not the first line of pressure.
04:28McKennie clips that one, and he was caught late there.
04:31And a free kick has been given.
04:33And it's the right decision because McKennie clattered by Xiao Cancelo.
04:42And the yellow, probably the correct decision there.
04:45Right when he gets this off, you can see, I mean,
04:49it's just not only that first leg, but the trailing leg that catches.
04:53It's Weston McKennie, good to see him up, walking on his own.
04:57Putting weight on it, but that was definitely a yellow card.
05:00Wreck-It's challenge.
05:05Cancelo then into the book.
05:06He won the Premier League three times with Manchester City.
05:09JoĂŁo Cancelo.
05:12Won the league in Portugal, Italy, and Germany as well.
05:18And here it's Anthony Robinson and Sebastian Berhalter
05:21with a little over ten minutes to go until half-time.
05:24Standing over this free kick for the U.S.
05:30Trasti and Richards, two targets in there having come forward from the back.
05:35Berhalter to the edge of the box.
05:36Pulisic drives it in.
05:39Comes back out towards Aidan Morris.
05:41Having a great season in the championship in England with Middlesbrough.
05:45Trying to stay pushed for promotion to the Premier League.
05:52Where?
05:55This is Freeman.
05:57Dallow goes to close down on the far side.
05:59Freeman turns really well.
06:01Excellent play from Freeman.
06:03Drippled in by Pulisic!
06:10He wasn't too far away.
06:12He wasn't too far away.
06:12I love when Freeman gets ahead of speed going forward.
06:16Ahead of steam where he's just committed to it.
06:20And just watch the little skill, little shift, the strength.
06:23And then right here, outside of the foot, gets it to Christian Pulisic.
06:27Pulls it slightly.
06:29Saw had to be sure of it to get that arm extended.
06:32But you can see the ball just slightly spinning away.
06:34It starts inside that post.
06:36And hits it well.
06:38It's a big night for Freeman because he hasn't had the minutes he would have wanted
06:42since making the move from Orlando to Villarreal in Spain.
06:46He's been in their squad nine games so far.
06:49But has only played 38 minutes for his new team.
06:53This one through the middle towards Fernandes.
06:55He's in round the back.
06:56Bruno Fernandes here with a little back heel.
06:58It's a chance for Portugal!
07:01And he's dispatched with precision for the first goal!
07:11Francisco Trincao!
07:13With the finish!
07:18Right here, just a turnover as McKinney's trying to get it back to Freeman.
07:22And Morris, you can see, pushes right and it opens up the passing lane.
07:26But how's everyone dropping back right there?
07:29And maybe it's trusty.
07:30Someone's gotta just read.
07:32There's no way Fernandes is getting that shot off.
07:34Richards has that angle cut down.
07:36The back heel looks like it's the only thing that can come
07:39but take nothing away from a wonderful finish.
07:43Freeze sees it late.
07:44He's incredulous, immediately wondering.
07:46There were several players that could make that play.
07:49No one reading that little back heel.
07:53Trincao's third international goal.
07:56The ingenuity of the assists from Bruno Fernandes.
08:02And the United States, after much good work,
08:04find themselves trailing here as we head towards half-time.
08:10Not exactly a cutback, but that was one of the things that
08:13killed the U.S. against Belgium the other day.
08:15Was just collapsing into the back line.
08:17Having plenty of bodies to make the play.
08:19But, you know, not just reading
08:22where's the biggest danger, where's the space that we gotta worry about
08:25in the cutback last game.
08:26Really killed the U.S.
08:27And that back heel from Fernandes.
08:31Great ingenuity.
08:34Marcelo! Marcelo!
08:36Now, Mauricio Pochettino will look for the response.
08:40His side took the lead at the weekend, but find themselves behind here
08:44against Portugal.
08:47Portugal will rank number six in the world coming into this international window.
08:52Mauricio Pochettino's side.
08:55With work to do here in the final game before he names the World Cup squad.
09:0156 days until Pochettino will announce his roster in New York City.
09:07This one flipped into the middle.
09:09Ramos couldn't get on the end of it.
09:16Robinson away towards halfway.
09:19Ramos battling for it again.
09:20Will bring this one down.
09:23Petinia.
09:25Now space for Bruno Fernandes.
09:27This time the back heel doesn't work.
09:29Pulisic battling to get there, but couldn't.
09:37Ramos down by Berhalter.
09:40It's Vitinho.
09:49And Congo beating Jamaica.
09:52Wow.
09:52And they qualify for Group K at the World Cup.
09:54They will play against Portugal.
09:59In the opening game of the tournament.
10:01For them.
10:03In Houston on June 17th.
10:10What a day of drama it has been across the world.
10:15One more spot.
10:16Still up for grabs a little later on tonight.
10:23Final playoff taking place.
10:26In Mexico, Iraq against Bolivia for the last spot at the World Cup.
10:35A little flick on there as McKennie got a touch to it.
10:37It drops for Berhalter.
10:39And wide for Robinson down the left side.
10:412nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th.
10:471, 2, 3rd, 4th.
10:501, 2, 3rd, 4th, 3rd.
10:513, 3rd, 4th, 4th, 4th, 4th, 5th!
10:51.
10:51Bruno Fernandes getting back to breakup play there.
10:57And Verdunio turns out towards Cancelo.
11:00down the left. Closed down by Weah.
11:05Inasio's ball forward.
11:07Drops here towards Anthony Robinson
11:09and the Fulham man carrying this one towards Pulisic.
11:11Robinson has a go.
11:14When Melissa was talking about Weah
11:16and the coaches screaming,
11:18that's exactly what they want right there.
11:20In transition, when you move into that defensive phase
11:22starting high, I mean, the U.S. has forced a lot of turnovers
11:25and gotten into these good positions.
11:28Pulisic wants that defeat.
11:30Robinson hits it well and Robinson's been really bright.
11:33I mean, for the U.S., definitely a silver lining
11:35of losing last game and being down this one
11:37as Yu looks up for it.
11:39He looks like he is in top form.
11:44And every minute at the World Cup in Qatar,
11:46Anthony Robinson.
11:4864 minutes in the game against Belgium at the weekend
11:50got the assist on McKinney's goal.
11:54His first appearance since November of 2024
11:57for the U.S.
11:59Richards plays this forward here for Morris.
12:04Pulisic knocked off the ball.
12:06He wanted the free kick, but
12:08nothing given there as the challenge came in from Rausso.
12:14And then Pulisic
12:16was frustrated that he didn't get the call before that.
12:24going down in the midfield, but those little moments just...
12:25And he leaves for Tinha on the ground.
12:28And he leaves for Tinha on the ground.
12:32And he leaves for Tinha on the ground.
12:37And here's a look at...
12:39Just a little clip on Tinha.
12:43Didn't really look like the first one was a foul.
12:45Just frustrated.
12:47Going down in the midfield.
12:48But those little moments just...
12:50I think that's what Pochettino means,
12:51especially from one of your stars.
12:52You lose the ball, just switch on.
12:54He was playing with the ref.
12:55Gets it.
12:57You know, a tackle in.
12:59Got to just play on.
13:01Those little transitions,
13:03those little sequences,
13:04those little details.
13:05That's all that matters at the top level.
13:08Going to sit down the right for Weyer.
13:12Oh, it just went out.
13:16It's going to be a U.S. ball, no?
13:17Yeah, there we go.
13:21Weyer with the throw inside here for Berhalter.
13:24Now Morris.
13:30Trincao, the only goal of the game,
13:31having Portugal in front here as Weyer curls it in.
13:33It's put behind there off the head of Tinha for a corner here.
13:40Coming up next is the Volkswagen Halftime Show.
13:47Liam, Bees, Dunny and Brad will break down this first 45 minutes in Atlanta.
13:59The referee just sorting something out inside the penalty area here at Neto and McKennie.
14:04Shoulder to shoulder.
14:08Robinson goes short to Berhalter.
14:10This is Kulisic on the edge of the box.
14:13Kulisic's ball in is played a long way out.
14:15Drops for Tillman.
14:16Tillman strikes!
14:30He's a little frustrated with himself.
14:33He just catches it a little bit early, and you can see the ball's flat.
14:36Doesn't have the top spin on it he wants to generate.
14:39It's like he could just wait one more second before he goes into that sequence to strike it.
14:45Tillman's been bright, though, this half.
14:47He's definitely done everything that Coach Tino and the staff have asked of him.
14:55What's wrong with the high ball over halfway?
15:09What's against Belgium at the weekend ending a five-match unbeaten run
15:14Maurizio Pochettino's side they'd won three in a row to finish 20-25
15:18It's Pulisic, skips that challenge
15:20He's got support from McKennie to the left
15:22Robinson as well, Pulisic leads it in towards McKennie
15:25Oh, it just falls down at the vital moment there
15:33Those are situations that on the biggest stage against the best teams you have to take advantage of
15:40It's definitely been the big difference
15:42I mean, just explosive does so well, good balance
15:44But right here, just takes that extra touch right there without the side of his left foot
15:50McKennie was expecting it slightly earlier
15:53I mean that
15:54West McKennie was telling us the other day of training and that's just that's what it is that the 218s
16:00The quality in in those areas of the field
16:03It's just Bruno Fernandez gets one chance
16:06Absolutely forces an amazing save
16:08And they score on one of their only other clear opportunities
16:11And for the US, I mean, they're generating these chances
16:13That's definitely a big positive for Cochettino
16:15They've got to start forcing the force and saves
16:17They've got to start being a little more clinical when they get those moments
16:20Our stoppage time is presented by Marriott Bonvoy
16:22We're into four minutes of time being added on at the end of this first half
16:31Berhalter
16:34To the right it comes for Ware
16:35It's been a good response from the US after conceding
16:38Lovely little flip from McKennie
16:40Tillman might be in around the back here
16:41He's got support through the middle from Poulos
16:44But he couldn't find him
16:45And the coaching staff are off the bench
16:49Asking for the foul
16:50They should be
16:50At the point that it was clear Tillman wasn't going to get an advantage there
16:54And be able to continue on
16:55They've got to bring that back
16:58Tony Jimenez, the goalkeeper coach, still
17:01Talking
17:02With the fourth official on the near side there
17:07Johnny Cardoso, by the way
17:08Who started the game at the weekend
17:10Came off at halftime
17:10He returned to Madrid yesterday
17:13With a little bit of an injury
17:17So he's not involved
17:18And no Miles Robinson involved either
17:20With injury for the US tonight
17:23Cancelo turns and feeds it in sight for Bettina
17:25Little flick from Bruno Fernandes
17:27Cancelo Ramos, the PSG man
17:30He's still going towards the byline
17:31But then just overruns it
17:34Cancelo Ramos
17:36Who had a goal
17:38Against Real Madrid in the semi-final of the club world cup last year
17:41Watch Richards just in his feet
17:43And Berhalter, just that little pressure
17:44Is enough to throw him off
17:46I love that maturity
17:47You've seen it in Richards games
17:49I mean he's visible
17:50He can get an arm on players
17:51Van Dijk is one of the best in the world at that
17:53Just runs, stays on his feet
17:56Continues to strength the angle
17:59Always looking to see if the attacking player
18:00Can make the mistake first
18:04Through the middle for Pulisic here
18:07Pulisic up against Arauzio
18:09Christian Pulisic, what can he create here?
18:13And a free kick given
18:15And a yellow card coming for Christian Pulisic
18:19And Bruno Fernandes straight towards the referee from Germany
18:23Sven Jablonski
18:25Unhappy with that from Christian Pulisic
18:27Really well done here
18:28What a turn there from Tillman
18:30And lovely feet initially from Pulisic
18:35You can see as he tries to cut it back
18:37He's got the double team there right away
18:38Just a little kick out
18:41Silly at that point
18:42Right before half to get a yellow card
18:44I get it, he's frustrated
18:45It's been tough
18:46If Portugal has really been all over him
18:49Okay
18:57He's got to keep his cool in that situation
19:00Now the times when they've had opportunities going forward
19:03They just haven't moved it quick enough
19:04They just haven't been at the speed they need to going forward
19:08One extra touch
19:11Obviously at the highest level makes all the difference
19:15All in all you need to not harp it on some of these negatives
19:18I mean the U.S. has had a strong first half performance
19:21They've been generating a lot of opportunities
19:23They just have to be a little more ruthless
19:25When they get into those final third positions
19:27I think the positive from this is that initial entry pass
19:30That we're seeing to Malik Tillman
19:31Or to Christian Pulisic in that midfield
19:34And then that drive
19:35But like you guys said
19:35It's that final third
19:36That last touch
19:37And that's exactly what Mauricio Pochettino was telling us
19:40You know
19:41They have to have that type of urgency in that final third
19:43And sometimes even the simplicity
19:45When you really think about it
19:47Bruno Fernandes
19:54Back it comes to the Manchester United man
19:57He was looking for that cross in
19:58Didn't quite come as Dallow plays it for Patina
20:04And the whistle will go
20:06To bring this first half to a close
20:09The goal coming in the 37th minute
20:12A third international goal for Francisco Trincao
20:14The sporting attacker
20:16The United States having their chances
20:19But so far trail at half time
20:22By one goal to nil here in Atlanta
20:24To U.S. Soccer on TNT
20:25Is presented by Bank of America
20:39To play with this type of team
20:41When they are in the top level
20:43With players that play in top level
20:44I think for us
20:45It's a massive opportunity
20:47To keep learning and realize
20:49The situation that we need to improve
20:51Thank you Mauricio
20:52You're welcome
20:53Portugal with 62% of the possession
20:56In the first half
20:57But the U.S. had eight shots
20:58To Portugal's three
20:59Two shots on target
21:01For either side
21:02The last time the United States
21:04Got a result against a European team
21:06After trailing at half time
21:08Was the 2014 World Cup
21:10Against Portugal
21:13So here come all the changes
21:15It will take a little bit of time here
21:16As things get sorted out
21:19You know the only person worse off
21:21Than the commentators
21:22When all ten changes are made at half time
21:24He's the fourth official down there
21:25With the board
21:26His balls are going to burn out
21:29Well Roberto Martinez said
21:31That using the eleven changes
21:33That are allowed here
21:34Gives him the opportunity
21:35To make sure that
21:36Players know what they're doing
21:37Within the system
21:38To make sure that
21:39When changes are made
21:40And the changes that at times
21:42Are enough to make
21:42During the World Cup
21:43All of the players
21:44Have had the experience
21:45And that he can
21:46He can check on
21:47Exactly where they're at right now
21:50As they head into
21:51What will be two more games
21:53For these sides
21:54Before the World Cup takes place
21:59So the United States
22:02With those three changes
22:05Change things around a little
22:08And Freeman stepping out from
22:10Right now
22:11What looks like it might be
22:12A back three with Tim Weyer
22:13As the right wing back
22:14And Arfston as the left wing back
22:16Atumang forward here
22:17Back it comes to Arfston
22:21Arfston the Columbus man
22:23Back towards Tanner Tessman
22:25Tessman who started at the weekend
22:26Arfston with the ball clipped in
22:28Takes the deflection
22:29On the way through
22:29Arfston once again meets it
22:33And Atumang battling for it there
22:35As it comes out on that right side
22:37Tillman who is
22:39Still on the pitch
22:40Having started this game
22:42It was great chatting
22:43With Ralph Felix
22:44Melissi yesterday
22:45And it was interesting
22:46You know
22:46One of the things he said
22:47Was when he
22:48He talked to us
22:49He said
22:50Wow it's great to see this stadium
22:51I always play this on FIFA
22:53I always play in this stadium
22:54On FIFA
22:55And you sometimes forget
22:56Like Amadou and Arna came in
22:57At the weekend
22:58And said
22:59He just saw this stadium
23:00He couldn't believe it
23:01He's like
23:01I'm a huge Falcons fan
23:02Love the NFL
23:03To be playing in this stadium
23:04Is incredible
23:05Melissa how's your FIFA game?
23:07I beat you
23:08100%
23:09I grew up playing FIFA
23:10Are you kidding me?
23:11I bet
23:11Joe Felix is way better though
23:13But one of the things
23:14That stood out to me
23:15About our conversation
23:16Was that
23:17How much he loves
23:18Coming over to the states
23:19He raved about
23:20Miami by the way
23:21But just in general
23:22The entertainment behind it
23:23He said
23:24He loves the American mindset
23:25How they live life
23:26You mentioned
23:27Watches the NBA
23:28But he says
23:30He's always excited
23:30To come stateside
23:33I bet you ran more
23:34On FIFA
23:35Than you did in real life
23:36Kyle
23:37Definitely
23:37Definitely
23:39Whoever
23:39Whoever's playing with me
23:41Understands
23:42I need to track back
23:43I don't even think
23:44FIFA was around
23:44When Kyle played
23:47Cutter Mike
23:47What was that?
23:49Nintendo
23:49It did hurt me a little
23:51When I was talking
23:52To Joe Felix
23:53I said
23:53Everyone has
23:54That one World Cup
23:55They think about
23:56Mine was a tally of 90
23:57When I was growing up
23:58And that's what I romanticize about
24:00I said
24:01What about for you?
24:02He said
24:02South Africa 2010
24:03I'm like
24:03Well there's the difference
24:04In age
24:06Making me feel old
24:07You guys are really aging yourself
24:09Up in that booth
24:09It's true
24:10I'm young
24:11Down here
24:12Pitch side
24:12I'm going to say
24:13Sit down the right side
24:17Porter
24:18One of those changes
24:19At half time
24:20Down the right
24:20It comes for
24:21Concey Sao
24:22Once again
24:25Cut out here
24:26By Arfston
24:27Berhalter
24:28Up towards
24:29Adjeman
24:30Who got that goal
24:30To pull it back
24:31Back to 5-2
24:32At the weekend
24:34Patrick Adjeman
24:35With six international goals
24:36In 13 games
24:37And here's a free kick
24:39And
24:40I thought initially
24:41The referee was going
24:42To his pocket
24:42But he left
24:43Sebastian Berhalter
24:44Off there
24:44With a warning
24:48Ruben Neves
24:49The player
24:50That is fouled
24:53Talk about the quality
24:54Coming in
24:55Off the bench
24:55Ruben Neves
24:56Who is now
24:57With Al-Hilal
25:00But every minute
25:01Of all five
25:02Club World Cup games
25:03For that
25:03Them last year
25:04Two-time Nations League
25:05Winner
25:09Quite a run
25:10Al-Hilal had
25:11In the Club World Cup
25:12Last year
25:13They lost against
25:13Fluminense
25:14In the quarterfinal
25:15After beating
25:15Manchester City
25:16In that incredible
25:174-3 extra time
25:18Game
25:19In the round of 16
25:24Six here with Wolves
25:25For Ruben Neves
25:26There is
25:27Wild Felix
25:28Who
25:29Is on the verge
25:30Of winning a league
25:30Title
25:31Without Nasser
25:33Talked as well
25:34About the fact
25:34That he liked it
25:35At Chelsea
25:36But he just
25:36Wasn't getting the minutes
25:37And he felt
25:37That maybe his
25:38World Cup plays
25:39Could have been
25:39At peril
25:41If he didn't
25:42Get regular football
25:44As an Arsenal fan
25:45Not to be anti-Chelsea
25:46But there are a lot
25:46Of players that
25:46Left Chelsea
25:47And had a much
25:48Much better time
25:49We saw one the other
25:50Night
25:50Tevin De Bruyne
25:51No Sala famously
25:53Christian Pulisic
25:54Yeah
25:58Berhalter
26:00Austin turning it
26:01Back here for
26:02Trusty
26:04And also a sour
26:05Down the right
26:05It's broken up
26:06As Aidan Morris
26:07Picks it up
26:07And goes backwards
26:08Here towards
26:08Chris Richards
26:13Freeman
26:14Forward for Ware
26:15Down that right
26:15Tux line
26:23Back to Matt
26:23Freeze
26:24Who is having
26:24Animated conversation
26:25On the way in
26:26With Tony Jimenez
26:27The goalkeeper coach
26:29Arfston
26:31Turned over here
26:31But the free kick
26:32Is given
26:34Really well done
26:35From Arfston there
26:38Arfston just takes
26:39The first ball down
26:39Controls it
26:40Really beautifully
26:41Little sidestep
26:42Gets his arm pulled
26:43As he goes down
26:44And I love that
26:44Confidence from
26:45Freeze to bring that
26:46Ball to him
26:46In a wide position
26:52Berhalter just starting
26:53With Tessman out there
26:54And Morris out there
26:55Berhalter
26:56Looks like the one
26:57Is getting a little bit
26:58More freedom
26:58Can move in
26:59Those advanced positions
27:03Do you mind
27:03Trying to hold
27:04That one up
27:04But it'll be
27:05Played back here
27:05By Nuno Mendes
27:10Nuno Mendes
27:11Into the left back
27:12Roll
27:12Having come on
27:13At half time
27:14Here
27:14And it's given away
27:16As Aidan Morris
27:16Looks to get that
27:17One back
27:17Tillman can
27:18Try and take advantage
27:20Here
27:20Morris
27:21Morris turns
27:22Couldn't get the power
27:23Behind the shot
27:33Just another example
27:34There
27:34Slightly indecisive
27:36They get in a great position
27:37As players get
27:38In each other's way
27:39For a second
27:41I think Mochettino
27:42Was absolutely right
27:43At half time
27:43The positive is
27:44Against one of the
27:45Top ten teams
27:47In the world
27:47A team with
27:48A lot of talent
27:49Just brought a tremendous
27:50Amount of talent
27:51Off the bench
27:52They've
27:52Really held their own
27:54And I think
27:55For the most part
27:56Dominated the match
27:57I mean you saw
27:57The stats
27:58You heard about
27:59More shots
28:00It's just that
28:02Disparity
28:03And
28:04Variance
28:05In that final third
28:05That's obviously
28:06The big difference
28:07So far
28:08Ruben Neves
28:08With that high ball
28:09Across to the left side
28:10Great distribution
28:11From him
28:12As it comes in
28:13For Mendes
28:15Mendes was here
28:16In this stadium
28:16A couple of times
28:17Last year
28:17Playing for PSG
28:18In the club
28:19World Cup
28:24Actually beat by
28:25Munich here
28:26In the quarterfinal
28:27They beat Miami
28:28In the round of 16
28:40Portugal will be heading
28:41To their seventh
28:42consecutive World Cup
28:43Their best ever finish
28:44Which was third
28:45In 1966
28:47Lost to eventual winners
28:49England in the semifinal
28:55In Qatar
28:55They lost in the quarterfinals
28:57Against Morocco
28:58In the stadium
28:59For the round of 16 game
29:00When they tore Switzerland
29:02Apart by six goals
29:03To one
29:03Gonzalo Ramos
29:04Scored a hat-trick that night
29:06Tessman out wide
29:06To the right side
29:07For Freeman
29:08Closed down by Horta
29:12Back for Mendes
29:25Drow Felix
29:27Horta over there
29:28On the far side
29:29And Becker comes here
29:30As there's plenty of options
29:31Through the middle
29:33Drow Felix
29:33Was one of them
29:34But they couldn't find him
29:35And Ajiman
29:35Will bring it away
29:36Here for the US
29:37Now Weyer is in space
29:39The US can break here
29:41Ajiman bursting
29:42Through the middle
29:42Weyer might look further
29:43To try and find
29:44The left side
29:46And that's a back pass
29:48But the keeper didn't
29:51Pick it up
29:52I was about to give him
29:53Credit for the accuracy
29:54Of that pass
29:55I don't know
29:56If that's a
29:56Was it a back pass?
29:57He knows exactly
29:58What he's doing
29:59Trying to put it
30:00Right to his goalkeeper
30:01Go ahead
30:01Go ahead
30:01If passing it
30:03To someone
30:05Isn't
30:07Deflecting it
30:07Knowing it's going
30:08To go right to them
30:09Let's go right to them
30:09Let the men
