Forgotten beer cozies, comb-over conspiracies, and a painful last-minute tie: yesterday's World Cup game between the United States and Portugal had the city celebrating and consoling. Here are some of the top tweets:
@BMahan415: HELP! If you're in #SanFrancisco and you're near #CityHall, I need a coozie! Left mine at the house.
@tweedlebop: Ronaldo getting a much needed styling and skin peel
@mikelcal: OH EM GEE!!! That was so close!
@GsMaverick: Unbelievable save by Howard!
@pesto: Wow. Just wow. That was amazing.
@gcheung28: Praise the lord for Jermaine Jones.
@Absolut_Pablito: I have to admit.. Between the amazing save and two perfectly executed goals, I'm warming up this
@scorpiogans93: Wow! This is so exciting! Hopefully USA can hang on!
@peterhartlaub: How freaking great is #USA. Pretty sure just scored a goal with our balls. #IBelieveThatWeWillWin
@aginnt: Despite #usa down by one, this is an awesome game and we are not going down without a fight #USAvsPOR #WorldCup #soccer
@tweeangelina: gosh I'm so sad we didn't get our point #devastation
@mgAndrus: Really need to watch the last 45 of #USAvsPOR to find the 5 of stoppage time. Last ditch effort to keep Ronaldo in #WorldCup2014?
@garywhitta: There’s an old English footballing phrase, “sick as a parrot”, which explains how you are feeling right now. #WorldCup2014
@abroshar: You gotta have hope, America. #WorldCup2014
@ObeseVegan: The #WorldCup2014 would be way cooler if the teams had mascots. "The US Apes." Think about it.
@olga_mfernandez: Man oh man...Such a tight game but we still have a chance! Not out yet.
@breyeschow: Are. You. Kidding. Me.
@seanfinney: Wasting time is an important skill the Nation still has to learn #wolrdcup2014 #PortugalvsUSA
@hisern: i'm STILL perplexed by the ref's comb over. i think that's why the US didn't win.... #WorldCup2014
@kerem: ESPN started showing baseball right after the #USAvsPOR game. Everything feels slow motion right now.
@AshleyWaxman: Another reason not to like soccer - it's ok to end in a tie?!
