Atlanta, GA - The United States Men’s National Team (USMT) announced today that they will end the Portugal game that was started on the 31st of March 2026 with a 0-2 Victory as they stated, “we’ve gotten everything out of this encounter that we came for.”

Sources say that the USMNT views the exercise as a completely victory despite the end result and that insiders are claiming a complete achievement of their goals.

“They are really bullish that the extra 11 hours that the game took really allowed them to show a complete and resolute victory,” stated one USMNT insider. “The staff see this 0-2 loss as a win if you look at it the right way, which is that the USMNT never loses it just has momentary set backs and terrible referees that deny them the ability to have a clean victory.”

With the 2026 ICE Detention Jamboree and FIFA World Cup closing quickly upon the calendar, some fans have become restless, however the USMNT and US Soccer Federation insist that the team has never been better.

“We win, We are winners, we are Americans and we win,” stated the USSF. “And all you need to know is that we will be winners no matter what, even if we have to lose to win.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as bloggers say that this is all just a master plan of Pochettino to prepare the team for the rigors of the easy group stage.
