But before we end on a sour note, it's important to point out that the U.S. still has a chance to advance; just root for ties.
Two things America loves: memes and taunting people.
Clint Dempsey showed his American spirit with a never give up goal. See it through until it hits the net -- that's the Dempsey way.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's U.S. fans dressed as superheroes.
The son of U.S. Army soldier who grew up in Germany, Jones played for the German Under-21 international team. But when he didn't see much on-the-pitch action in Germany, he found a second chance on the American squad.
Second chances and fresh beginnings -- America.
He's talented, handsome and not at all "aww, shucks" humble.
America loves a good villain to cheer against. And Ronaldo provides that. He's Cruella DeVille with better hair.
He's German, but he knows how to wear the red, white and blue with class.
Other countries might call it moral support, camaraderie or just friendship. We call it bromance and it's as American as a Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson movie.
"I want you...to just do it."
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."

NATO member and partner forces are in Norway for a sprawling military exercise called Trident Juncture - the largest since the Cold War, officials have said.
Russia is not happy with NATO's robust presence next to its territory and has decided to put on its own show of force.
From November 1 to November 3, Russian ships will carry out rocket drills in the Norwegian Sea, west of activities related to Trident Juncture, which runs from October 25 to November 7.
The exercises come at a time of heightened tension in Europe, home to some of the world's most capable armed forces, based on the 2018 military strength ranking compiled by Global Firepower.
The ranking aims to level the playing between smaller countries with technical advantages and larger, less-sophisticated countries.
Additional factors - geography, logistical capabilities, natural resources, and industrial capacity - are taken into account, as are things like diversity of weapons and assets, national development, and manpower.
NATO members, 27 of which are European, also get a boost, as the alliance is designed to share resources and military support. The US military has a massive presence in Europe - including its largest base outside the US - but isn't included here as the US isn't part of Europe.
Below, you can see the 25 most powerful militaries in Europe.

POOLE’S hard work on their travels was spectacularly undone as they crashed to a third straight home loss for the first time since 2005.
Swindon triumphed 56-36 – their second victory in Dorset this season – as Pirates found themselves outclassed and outpaced from the tapes.
It has been 12 seasons since Poole endured such misery on home shale. Losses against Peterborough on August 15, Coventry on August 31 and Ipswich on September 7 in 2005 were the last time they sustained three consecutive defeats at Wimborne Road.
And the result was made even more frustrating for Pirates after victories at King’s Lynn last Thursday and Wolverhampton on Monday, which appeared to signal an upturn in fortunes.
Pirates are clearly feeling the absence of Brady Kurtz due to injury as new signings Timo Lahti and Richie Worrall work to get to grips with the Poole track. But their lack of a high-scoring star at number one is proving most painful.
The hosts began on the back foot despite an impressive start to his home debut by Swedish international Lahti in heat one. With Swindon’s Tobiasz Musielak charging clear, Lahti worked wonders in second to fend off Grand Prix star Jason Doyle.
That did not stop the home fans venting their anger at another woeful ride from Krzysztof Kasprzak, with his name loudly booed when he was announced as the fourth-place finisher.
The Poole faithful were fuming again in race two, when Robins reserve Adam Ellis rolled prior to the tapes lifting. But with the Brit stationary at the vital moment, referee Ronnie Allan allowed the action to continue as Ellis led Zach Wajtknecht to a 4-2 over Paul Starke and James Shanes. Ellis copped an official warn...
Poole star Richie Worrall suffered a painful start to race three when he was sent wide by Robins’ Bradley Wilson-Dean on turn one, before being T-boned by partner Jack Holder.
Both men walked away but were unable to stop Wilson-Dean and David Bellego claiming a 5-1, despite a huge challenge from Worrall, as the visitors went 13-5 up.
Pirates needed some heroics to stop the rot in heat four and it came from an unlikely source. Disaster struck when skipper Hans Andersen retired on bend two but reserve James Shanes took up the lead.
He clung to the white line with Aussie international Nick Morris roaring around the outside, the Puddletown-based flier holding on to lift the mood dramatically and earn a thunderous ovation.
Swindon moved 10 points up with a commanding win from Doyle in race five, with Musielak seeing off Worrall for third.
Kasprzak redeemed himself for his opening struggles with a far better start and victory over Morris and Ellis in race six.
With Poole still 10 adrift, Andersen was handed the black and white helmet cover for a tactical ride in heat seven. A poor start left him chasing Robins pair Bellego and Wilson-Dean, and the Dane could only overhaul the Kiwi at the start of lap two, doubling two points to four to split the race 4-4.
Shanes produced another stunning start in race eight. He was quickly forced aside by Musielak but secured second ahead of Wajtknecht, as Lahti finished fourth and Pirates went 12 behind.
Worrall trapped well in heat nine but could not stop Morris from getting the better of him to hold Swindon’s advantage.
After two last places, Lahti bounced back with a confident win in race 10 but Pirates failed to eat into Robins’ lead with Kasprzak unable to find a way past Wilson-Dean for third.
Doyle extended Swindon’s lead with victory over Andersen in heat 11. Andersen kept his cool in second with Musielak snapping at his back wheel and nearly collecting him on lap two.
Ellis put the meeting beyond Poole with a win over Holder in race 12, which saw Shanes crash on turn one but quickly remount.
The young Brit’s effort could not be questioned and neither could that of Andersen, who powered to a great win over Doyle in heat 13. But with Morris easily charging past Kasprzak for third, calls on the terraces for the Pole to be given his marching orders grew even louder.
Bellego got the verdict over Starke in heat 14, before Pirates completed a poor night without a single heat advantage when Andersen and Holder conceded a 5-1 to Bellego and Morris in race 15.
Pirates 36: 1 Krzysztof Kasprzak (0-3-0-0) 3, 2 Timo Lahti (2-0-0-3) 5, 3 Jack Holder (0-2-1*-2-1) 6+1, 4 Richie Worrall (1-0-2-1*) 4+1, 5 Hans Andersen (r-4^-2-3-1) 10, 6 Paul Starke (2-0-0-2) 4, 7 James Shanes (0-3-2-0fr) 5.
Swindon 56: 1 Jason Doyle (1-3-3-2) 9, 2 Tobiasz Musielak (3-1-3-1) 8, 3 Bradley Wilson-Dean (3-1-1*-1)6+1 , 4 David Bellego (2*-3-2-3-3) 13+1, 5 Nick Morris (2-2-3-1*-2*) 10+2, 6 Adam Ellis (3-1*-0-3) 7+1, 7 Zach Wajtknecht (1-1*-1-0) 3+1.
THE Puddletown charger’s heat four ride was a thing of beauty.
Placed under severe pressure following the early retirement of Hans Andersen, Shanes gritted his teeth and refused to let up on the power.
Chased hard by Nick Morris, the top-flight rookie showed superb nerve to hold on in testing circumstances.
He put in bags of effort throughout the meeting and deserved his five points.
Aside from that, it was a fairly miserable night.
Milk thistle is a plant known by various names - St. Mary’s Thistle, Carduus marianus, Silybum marinaum, and Holy Thistle. Milk thistle effects on the liver have been known for over two thousand years. It is only recently that the dried form of the fruit has become immensely popular as an herbal supplement. Silymarin i...
One of the top signs of milk thistle deficiency is liver dysfunction. Antioxidant supplements containing milk thistle reduce this condition. Clinical tests show that milk thistle detox helps in the treatment of liver dysfunction. This is why milk thistle is important. In order to protect the liver from potential diseas...
Milk thistle detox protects the body from an overload of iron, excess alcohol consumption, certain types of radiation, and the common drug aspirin. It is a natural chelating agent of iron and this intrinsic property is used in the treatment of blood disorders like thalassemia.
Anemia is another sign of milk thistle deficiency. As there are many variants of anemia that differ in their origin per medical terminology, relevant medical tests suggested by a physician will help determine if the specific type of anemia is due to milk thistle deficiency and inadequate milk thistle effects.
Another sign of milk thistle deficiency is jaundice. Milk thistle dosage of a hundred and twenty milligrams of silymarin a day will address the problem. Patients can increase the dosage from the recommended twice per day to three times a day to speed up the process of recovery. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can also be a...
In this Jan. 12, 2012, file photo, the YouTube logo appears on screen before a keynote address by Vice President of Global Content Partnerships at YouTube Robert Kyncl at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.
Read carefully through the fine print of YouTube's terms of service and you might notice that you've affirmed you are old enough to watch it.
"If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the service," the terms say. "There are lots of other great web sites for you."
It's a warning that goes unheeded by millions of children around the world who visit YouTube to watch cartoons, nursery rhymes, science experiments or videos of toys being unboxed.
In a formal complaint being filed Monday, child advocates and consumer groups are asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and impose potentially billions of dollars of penalties on Google for allegedly violating children's online privacy and allowing ads to target them.
"Google profits handsomely from selling advertising to kid-directed programs that it packages," said Jeff Chester, director of the Center for Digital Democracy, one of the groups that drafted the complaint. "It makes deals with producers and distributors of kids' online programs worldwide. Google has built a global and...
YouTube's business model relies on tracking IP addresses, search history, device identifiers, location and other personal data about its users so that it can gauge their interests and tailor advertising to them. But that model isn't supposed to work for U.S. children, who are protected by the Children's Online Privacy ...
The coalition accuses YouTube of violating COPPA and deliberately profiting off luring children into what Chester calls an "ad-filled digital playground" where commercials for toys, theme parks or sneakers can surface alongside kid-oriented videos.
YouTube said in an emailed statement that it "will read the complaint thoroughly and evaluate if there are things we can do to improve. Because YouTube is not for children, we've invested significantly in the creation of the YouTube Kids app to offer an alternative specifically designed for children."
That toddler-oriented YouTube Kids app, launched in 2015, offers more parental controls but is not widely used — and uses the same videos and channels that kids can also find on the regular YouTube service.
Although it's not known if the FTC will take action, the complaint comes at a time of increased public scrutiny over the tech industry's mining of personal data and after the FTC opened an investigation last month into Facebook's privacy practices.
"It seems like (the FTC) may be more reinvigorated and ready to take these issues seriously," said Josh Golin, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which drafted the complaint along with the Center for Digital Democracy and a Georgetown University law clinic. Several other groups have signed on, in...
"I think the day of reckoning has arrived," said U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat who co-authored COPPA in the 1990s and says he wants the FTC to look into the YouTube complaint. "Americans want to know the answers as to whether or not the privacy of their children is being compromised in the online wo...
FTC spokeswoman Juliana Gruenwald Henderson said in an email that the agency hasn't yet received the letter but looks forward to reviewing it. The complaint was originally scheduled to be filed last week but was delayed after the shooting on Tuesday at YouTube's California headquarters.
"We take enforcement of COPPA very seriously and have brought more than two dozen COPPA cases since the COPPA rule was enacted," she said. The FTC's investigations aren't usually public, but it has previously settled child privacy cases with Yelp, mobile advertising network inMobi and electronic toy-maker VTech.
None of those platforms are as popular for kids as YouTube, which has toddler-themed channels with names like ChuChuTV nursery rhymes, which as of last week counted more than 16 million subscribers and 13.4 billion views. It also has more personality-driven programs that cater to preteens.
A former FTC attorney who now advises companies on COPPA compliance said a case against YouTube would not be straightforward because it's a general-audience service, making it hard to tell if parents are curating content for their kids to watch or letting them use it on their own. Kandi Parsons said the FTC hasn't yet ...
"If the FTC thought that a service was directed to children and it was delivering online targeted advertising without consent, that could be a violation," Parsons said. She said the FTC could send Google a civil subpoena seeking more information, and also use other techniques to find out how the service is tracking its...
Advocates say Google knows what it is doing. They point to its "Google Preferred" program that allows advertisers on YouTube to pay a premium to get their ads on the most popular videos. The program includes a "Parenting & Family Lineup" that has featured channels such as ChuChu TV, Fox's BabyTV and Seven Super Girls, ...
YouTube does "age-gate" to block children who identify themselves as under 13 from starting an account that allows users to post videos, but an account isn't needed to watch videos on the platform.
"It's laughable if Google execs claim that they think the parent is in charge of the online viewing behaviors of tens of millions of children," Chester said. "Children are watching this content by themselves. Google is trying to look the other way."
Chester, who helped create COPPA in the 1990s, said he's confident that the FTC will take a serious look after years of letting Google off the hook for pretending that kids weren't using YouTube.
"They created a successful model monetizing kids' data on YouTube and really did not want to think about the consequences," he said. "Google is one of those companies that has failed to address its ethical dilemmas in a serious way."
The rally on Tuesday snuck up on Jim Cramer seemingly out of the blue. When he sat down to do his homework, he discovered there were various catalysts fueling it, with technology as the main driver.
The first signal Cramer noted was that the market continued to rally, even as the Federal Reserve resumed talking about the need to raise rates.
