Portugal fans at Le Café Bar St. Laurent Frappé, in Montreal, QC, go from happiness and joy to sadness, anger and disillusionment to end, once again, in happiness as they celebrate a late goal by their national soccer team to equalize the game against the USA 2-2 in the last few seconds of stoppage time. This goal, tying the game, allowed Portugal a slim chance to advance to the next round in the FIFA World Cup 2014 being played in Brazil. They had been up 1-0 at the beginning of the game, only to then find themselves down 2 -1 for most of the second half of the game. They scored their second goal with 15 seconds to go in the 5 minutes the referee had added of stoppage time.
Portugal, which has only one point in two games played, will now face Ghana Thursday, June 26, 2014 in Brasilia, Brazil while the US will play Germany. Both the US and Germany have four points in their two games played and are now the favorites to advance in their group. Ghana has only one point as well.
