Forced by heavy rains to move a watch party for Sunday's match against Portugal - after planning to show the game at Hutchinson Field to accomodate large crowds - organizers raised a massive screen on the east end of Balbo Drive for the 5 p.m. kick off. According to the U.S. Soccer Federation, the watch party was at capacity.
