Black History Month: Tim Howard becomes the Secretary of Defense

The United States Men’s National Team may have entered their 2014 World Cup Round of 16 match against Belgium as the underdog, but they were a team that was confident that they could pull off the upset and advance to the quarterfinals. On July 1, 2014, the Yanks and the Red Devils met in Salvador with a date in the quarterfinals against Argentina on the line. The two teams were scheduled to meet in an unofficial friendly in São Paulo as the World Cup was set to begin, but it was canceled due to traffic concerns around the opening match.
