Another beautiful picture perfect sunny day today! The great weather will continue tomorrow! My parents and I had a fun evening going out to dinner with my niece and nephews at Friendlys. The United States World Cup Soccer Team suffered a heartbreaking finish in their World Cup game against Portugal today. A headed goal from Portugals Silvestre Varela in the final seconds of stoppage time – the latest regulation goal in World Cup group-stage history – ensured that a thrilling contest ended in a 2-2 tie instead of a dream victory for the Americans and a place at the top of Group G. The Americans still have a strong chance of progressing from the Group of Death, sitting in second place on four points, three clear of both Portugal and Ghana, with one game to go. That comes against Germany on Thursday in Recife, where a draw would be enough to clinch second place and qualification for the round of 16. A win would secure first place. Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie is heading to the disabled list after he fractured his right index finger during Sundays game against the Reds.
