The bad news? U.S. soccer lost to Germany 1-0 in on Thursday afternoon. The good news? The loss doesn't matter!
Thanks to Portugal defeating Ghana 2-1, the United States will be moving on in the World Cup. They will play Belgium on July 1.
Below are the reactions from Denver Broncos players during and immediately following the game.
