Celebrities and fans took to Twitter during the crucial USA vs. Portugal match Sunday in the mighty Amazon jungle. In yet another drama packed, emotional up and down match, the "Stars and Stripes" came back from an early Nani goal to take the lead 2-1 going into the closing seconds. On a completely disastrous turn of events, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo sent a beautiful cross to Silvestre Valere who headed into the back of the net. The goal was the latest goal ever given up by the United States and the latest goal of the World Cup so far.
Once again, Team USA took their fans on an emotional roller coaster ride, this time ending in heart break instead of triumph.
