We can beat Portugal if Ronaldo has an off day or squeak out a tie if he is on. We can beat Germany if they've already won both thier previous games and are playing reserves.
US travels the furthest of any team in the group stage so jet lag could also play a factor.

Think the biggest factor is that the US just isn't very good at soccer. What are they ranked? 15th in the world as a country with our best team ranked like 200th.
