And every little thing he does. Sting making headlines for being the latest millionaire to say his kids wont inherit his fortune. Today, monday june 23rd, 2014. From nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a monday morning. Last night oh, it hurts. To the gut. It was like a collective jaw drop across america and the world. We were ready to start celebrating. We were precelebrating then suddenly that moment. Portugal gets a goal in the last five minutes of the game. Almost the last five seconds. The reason they call it the group of death is killing all of us. Look at the reaction weve got of the moment in the game and then around the country. People in the stands are suddenly talk about celebrating. Nobody had us doing anything in the cup including our own coach, we should be happy. We have a great chance to move ahead. We are overachievers. Way to pick up on the silver lining. This is the top story. The u. S. Held the lead until the end. Whatever you call it, it was truly unexpected with less than a minute to go portugal made the goal. Tied the game. Bill neeley is on duty in brazil this morning. Good morning. Tell us about the road ahead. Reporter good morning, savannah. It was the biggest game in u. S. Soccer in a decade. It lived up to its billing. The u. S. And portugal pulling out a sizzling dramatic game here in the heat of the amazon. The usa is just seconds from victory. A tie still keeps their dreams alive. It had started so badly the u. S. Behind within five minutes. Miscue to nani a terrible defensive error seized on by portugal. Nani making no mistake. They almost went two up. One portugal shot rattled the post. Nani again missed it. Reporter the next produced a world class save from tim howard. Another near miraculous save. Reporter then the moment america was waiting for. Jones. Oh yes Jermaine Jones reporter Jermaine Jones letting fly and bending the ball in. The relief on the faces of the fans was clear. Back home where fans watched in huge numbers, pure joy. It wasnt long before it turned into euphoria. Captain Clint Dempsey playing with a broken nose scrambling it in to score his second goal of the world cup. Across the u. S. , an explosion of noise. The u. S. Looking dominant. The writing was on the wall for portugal when suddenly and it is an equalizer reporter there had been just seconds left. The fans inside the stadium and back home couldnt believe it. The team left the field deflated. So close to going through to the knockout stage. Their coach, though, positive. Its unfortunate, but i think it was an amazing game, amazing performance by all the guys. It was in our hand and it slipped through our fingers. Usa reporter but the fans in brazil are looking forward now. Weve got germany next. Were going there and its going to be ridiculous. Reporter so it is germany in the next game. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann says we will go for a win. But to get through to the knockout stage, u. S. Can tie. It can even lose by a goal. But the fact is the u. S. Still unbeaten, still alive in the group of death. The group of death. So aptly named. Weather was a big part of that. Its hot, yeah. Humid. They took their firstever water break in the history of the world cup. After the game we spoke with Jermaine Jones. Hes the one that made one of the two goals. We asked him about the weather and also the moments leading up to the goal. Its funny. In halftime we was talking about we have to shoot. A lot of players come to me and say to me if you have the chance to shoot, shoot. That moment when i feel i catch the ball perfect. I was looking a little bit to see if the goalkeeper can have a chance. When i see how the ball flies, i was 100 the ball goes in. Yes Jermaine Jones i think that was an important goal for the team. So the goal from me bring the team back. Portugal on the brink of elimination. Its a great cross. And it is an equalizer a lot of guys were upset. But its normal. 30 seconds to go and you close to be one of the next round, its not easy to take, but its important now that we step on and try to push. We can make it the next game we can do everything we can to come to the next round. Then we will start to make the focus on germany. We know there is a good team. We have a lot of respect for them. Already showed in a lot of games like ghana and portugal today we dont have to be scary. We have to have respect for this team but not be scared. I think inside of the team we have trust always in ourselves. We must make our work good and everybody stick together, then we can come to the next round. Jones also talked about those hot and humid conditions saying the team really pushed itself to play through. So how can the United States make it to the next round . We wont give you so many details you need a flowchart, but if they beat or tie germany they advance. Even if team usa loses on thursday, there are scenarios where we could move on. Lets turn to mia hamm. She was a member of two fifa womens world cup winning teams. Scored more goals in international play than any other player. Good morning to you. Good morning. How are you . Were all right. Here you have a United States team that looks so strong. They almost beat one of the best in the world. Yet they walked off the field like theyve been punched in the gut. Do you blame them . Feeling that way . No. Because i think you step on the field with the focus of wanting to win every game. Thats how you can secure a spot. They did everything they needed to do to get there. Except that last 30 second. But whats great to hear is the leadership on the team talking about the importance of focusing on the next game and using all the energy they have, the disappointment to push them to the next match. I was going to say a lot about this has got to be about psychology and how they can shake off the last game. If you were the coach in that locker room, what would you say . I think, look how well we played. I mean, we dominated one of the best teams in the world and did it rather easily. We had some great chances. Some great plays whether it be tim howard in goal or just all over the field. You saw them playing together. And i think using that positivity and that momentum going in against germany. I got ten seconds left. Do you think they can outright beat germany on thursday . Absolutely. This team is like i said gaining momentum with every game. And i think their best is ahead of them. Indeed. So many of us are cheering. Mia hamm, great to talk to you. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys. And Jermaine Jones scored one goal of the two we had. Want to correct that. Lets now talk about the breaking news in iraq. Secretary of state john kerry arrived in baghdad this morning to meet Nuri Al Maliki. This as islamists gain control of more than western cities. Richard engel is there this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, carson. Theres a great deal at stake here. The United States spent thousands of lives and nearly a decade to build a new political system in iraq. Now john kerrys arrived on this Emergency Mission to try and prevent everything that the u. S. Helped put in place here from disintegrating. Militants from i. S. I. S. And those from the hussein regime now control much. The army is releasing footage of a counteroffensive with troops on the move and conducting air strikes. But the Iraqi Military offensive capability is limited and the allies are taking advantage of it. Secretary of state john kerry is now in the region to try to help the Iraqi Government out of this crisis. But stopping in cairo on his way to baghdad, kerry was challenged. A journalist asking him if the u. S. Isnt responsible by invading iraq in the first place. Whats happening in iraq is not happening because of the United States in terms of the current crisis. The United States shed blood and worked hard for years to provide iraqis the opportunity to have their own governance and have their own government. Reporter many in the middle east arent buying that the u. S. Gave iraq opportunity, but that it failed to use it. Here in baghdad kerry met with Prime Minister maliki amid growing calls for him to step down. The United States would like to see the iraqi people find leadership that is prepared to represent all of the people of iraq. Reporter but kerry said the u. S. Cant choose the political leaders for it. Kerrys mission this time is extremely difficult. The United States doesnt have nearly the same amount of leverage it did a few years ago. The iraqi army is still collapsing and Prime Minister maliki shows no sign hes willing to step down. Savannah, back to you. Thank you so much. Lets go to natalie. Shes got an update on bowe bergdahl.
