I still feel like we advance, and I see the odds that Nate Silver's SPI machine are putting out, but damn, I really hope this match doesn't deflate us for Thursday, because if so, Germany could easily drop a 3-0 result on us and that would mean Ghana would just need a 1-0 win.

If we get indirectly fricked by Ghana after finally beating them, I may go insane.

frick, I'm scared.

Ghana without Muntari crumbles. Portugal wins by 2.

We lose, but only by one.

We go through.

The same team that allowed this to happen last year?



We'll get the result we need, no matter what happens.

Ends with us not advancing. After the heart breaker that was tonight, feel we are destined for more failure.

Give away goal to start the game give away goal to end the game.

We play well but lose to Germany 2-1. Ghana beats Portugal 2-1.

This puts Germany at 7 points, the US at 4, and Ghana at 4. Portugal is out with 1 point.

That way, our goal differential is 0. Ghana's goal differential is 0. And we move on to head-to-head.

We get into the second round that way.

If we lose 3-1 to Germany or Ghana beats Portugal 3-1, I will be furious. If Ghana wins 3-2 (or we lose 1-0), that means Ghana wins since goals scored is ahead of head to head on tiebreakers.

And if that happens, I will be fricking enraged.

We lose 3-1 to Germany and Portugal wins by 1 over Ghana so USA still advances. Doesn't matter who we play from group H, we beat them.

Question: How did Ghana play Germany to a draw (i.e. athleticism, etc.) and does the US style of play suggest a draw or win vs Germany is likely?

I think Germany beats the United States 3-1, but Portugal bails the US out by either winning or forcing a draw against Ghana.

I just don't see Germany not getting opportunities against our defense.

Ghana's without a key player on Thursday and I think Portugal comes out strong and end with a respectable finish.

i think the Germans get tired of hearing about making a deal to draw the game, so both get through,
And they bring out the whooping stick.

But, Portugal shows up and either wins or ties their game.
