Keep your eyes glued here as we bring you all the latest live updates, images, scores, highlights and coverage of the 2014 World Cup Group of Death Match between Team USA's "Stars and Stripes" and Portugal's "Seleçâ das Quinas":
90 + 5': Portugal Goal. US hearts are broken. Varela heads in a wonderful Cristano Ronaldo cross. The final whistle blows and the spoils are split.
87': Clint Dempsey ccomes off the field and is replaced by Chris Wondolowski. Will Clint's goal be the one that puts the US in the knockout rounds?
81': GOOOOLLLLLL!!!!! Clint Dempsey!!! Unbelievable! A great counter starts on the right side and ends up in the back of the net! What a finish by Dempsey. Can the US hold on for 10 minutes here?
Jermaine Jone's goal:

78': Matt Besler looking in some discomfort. Looks like John Brooks will come on....or maybe not.
The chess move for Klinsmann in Yedlin is to add speed on the pitch to keep up with the high potent Portugal attack which will clearly be going all out as they have to get three points here.

55': A great play sees Fabian Johnson in and Michael Bradley's shot is on target but cleared off the line by Ricardo Costa! Portugal escape there.

HALFTIME in Manaus. The United States will look to regroup during the break. They will need something big to turn this game around in the second half. Looking for the equalizer. Tim Howard, who helped keep the score with in a reachable 1-0, believes:

31': Fabian Johnson cuts in well from the right side and has a strike but the shot is just wide.
24': A good hit from Bradley from outside the box goes just over the bar. Good play from the United States.
Better from the #USA. Baby steps. This started out as a Portugal AND1 mixtape, but the #USA is getting its act together. - @soccergods
