Wining against Ghana 2-1, which also recorded the most watched US soccer game by Americans in US history so far, Kilinsman refuses to let the team rest on its laurels. The US team is going into Sundays game to win and not draw. "There's no fear here of taking on the best of the best: "its fun to play, that's what you what," midfielder Kyle Beckerman said.
The Americans aren't impressed by Ronaldo's celebrity. In a press conference granted before Sundays game, the USMNT stressed the need of focusing on Portugal not Ronaldo.
"We don't make a big deal about Cristiano," mildfielder Jermaine Jones said. He went on to say "I think we are trying to make it our own game and if he plays on the left side, he play against Fabian, we have trust in Fabian that he can stop him" On his own account, Fabian (Johnson) explain "I think it's not just Ronaldo, it's the whole team. They have great players, good players, and we have to stop all of them. Not focus on one guy, I..I'm just trying to play my game".
Meanwhile Ronaldo walk off training with an ice pack on his knee, and indication that the player might be nursing an injury prior to Sundays game.
