The United States can advance to the round of 16 with a win or draw against Portugal on Tuesday, but it might need more than that to win the group.
Realistically, however, both will be looking for far more than that. Finishing first in Group E confers the advantage of a more favorable position in the elimination bracket, a prize well worth chasing.
The pair of 2019 finalists will each be looking to handsomely beat their lower-ranked opponents, and if they both do so, then goal differential will come into play as the first tiebreaker. On that front, the Americans currently hold the advantage, sitting at +3 compared to the Netherlands' +1. and her teammates will face a tougher challenge against Portugal than their rival will against Vietnam.
Portugal defeated Vietnam 2-0 on Wednesday, picking up three points and eliminating the Vietnamese. That win means the Portuguese are only one point back of the U.S. and the Netherlands and are very much alive entering their final group match.
