Prior to facing Portugal in the U.S. national team's second World Cup match, Jurgen Klinsmann was asked about playing in the Group of Death. His response was perfect and put the entire group in better perspective. It also now looks prescient with the U.S. advancing.

"There's a reason they call it the 'Group of Death,'" said Klinsmann. "Because we're in it too."
