Portugal’s late near-miss helped reigning champion United States avoid the biggest upset in Women’s World Cup tournament history on Tuesday. The Americans slipped through to the knockout round Tuesday despite a listless, uninspiring 0-0 draw against Portugal, per the AP. The US won only one game in group play for the first time in tournament history, and scored just four goals over three games.
