Beat Portugal.
Then first. I want our team to win as many games as possible against as good of competition as possible. Finishing first meant we went undefeated in the group of death(with at least 2 wins). That would seem to be a pretty big jump for US soccer. Can only back in so far in a competition like this . Hell I'd rather us go toe to toe with a motivated Germany team and lose by a goal then back into the round of 16 and lose by multiple goals in that round if you told me now those were my hypothetical choices. Until you can look the big boys in the eye and go right at them I don't truly see any benefit to backing in for one extra game(I know that's not what the OP is saying). I just want to see us win as many games against great competition as we are capable of and keep moving forward on the world stage.

Would be quite a statement of how far we've come since the Group of Death in 2006 where we deflated and now talking about topping it in 2014.
