#WorldCupUSA - USA fans in San Francisco, CA

It wasn't the result most USA fans wanted, but it was the result that the USA team needed.

A few thousand fans packed the Civic Center this morning to watch the USA take on Germany in their final match of the first round of the World Cup.

 Some fans had a hard time staying awake through the first half.

 And the German fans seemed more interested in taking photos of the German beer they were drinking.

 But a second half goal awoke the Germans...

 ...and left the USA fans in attendance worried that they might be saying goodbye to the World Cup.

  But after Portugal pulled out a result against Ghana, The USA fans were able to cheer advancing to the second round again of the World Cup.

But a result is a result.  Remember in 2002, USA backed into the round of 16 and beat Mexico.  Anything can happen against Belgium on Tuesday.  Looking forward to the game!
