Who else is pulling for USA and Ghana to advance out of our group?

I want us to advance with Ghana. I will be pulling for Ghana in both of their remaining matches.
To hell with the entitled european powers in soccer. Watching a European Soccer power fall in group stage World Cup when they are expecting a big run is satisfying, its like watching Duke lose to Mercer or Lehigh in the NCAA tourney. I enjoyed France and Italy's choke jobs in 2010.
But I see a lot of people who want Germany to advance with the reason being "for good matchups in the knockout rounds". I understand this line of reasoning, it reminds me of those who hate upsets in the NCAA tournament because it ruins potentially good matchups in the later rounds.
But for me, #TeamGhana from here on out. They probably have no shot against Germany anyway but I will still be pulling for them.

Nope. I dislike Ghana because of the last two World Cups. I want Portugal to make it out with us because Ronaldo is my favorite non-American player, but that seems unlikely.

NO, Just NO. We want Germany to beat Ghana to help us out in advancing. The usa getting out the group is the #1 priority. We have only won 1 game. We are far from ready to advance. We have to play portugal and germany. Even if Germany would also rest their starters against us, they are still loaded.

No frick ghana, the last 2 world cups pissed me off and those dirty bastards broke deuces nose. They can rot in hell and them moving on isn't likely anyways.

Any positive feelings I had towards them went by the wayside when they played like a bunch of tpos.

Cheering for Ghana is the equivalent to cheering for the Falcons. How anyone can like Ghana after our recent history baffles me.

Idk, I think our best chance to advance is for Germany to win, be assured of advancing on six points, come out flat against us, and maybe we get a point.
Also, Ghana could very well beat Portugal. If they also beat Germany and get to six points, we could be in trouble.
In other words, frick Ghana.
