World Cup

The United States' run in the World Cup came to an end with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Belgium on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Tim Howard came out a winner, though, notching 16 saves -- the most in a World Cup match since 1966.

The US soccer team may have lost the match Thursday against Germany, but the team still finished second in its group and advanced to the Round of 16 thanks to a goal differential over Portugal. Germany and the US advance, and Portugal and Ghana were eliminated. It's pretty cool to have an East Texan on the team, playing on such huge world stage. There are over a billion people around the world wat
